How Legion Changed WoW

Now, from a programing standpoint this may be much harder than it looks. You are going back into old areas to change and update the original systems. It may just be easier to keep adding on expansions as the game continues to grow. What Legion has done is really brought Warcraft in line with other updated MMOs on the market. Many recent games are putting more choice into the player’s hands when it comes to where they go and how they adventure. Legion enters you into a zone and then has you complete the overall storyline for that section. The zones end in you running the instanced dungeons for quests. Being able to choose where you go is the first step into future updates for Azeroth that will continue Warcraft well into its second decade.

The Garrison system in Draenor was a fantastic “hub” for doing quests, exploring zones and building up an entire new system in the game. However, now the Class Halls seem to have taken over that mechanic. These work because they bring together players a bit more rather than separating them out like Garrisons did. Legion keeps the class hall concept and Dalaran as your touch point for all of the quests and zones you explore. This central hub concept is nothing new in websites, but it does bring the players together much more than single housing and the Garrison idea.
