Sunwell Gear Reintroduced!

Post by Henhouse »

Today, Sunwell Plateau gear has been brought back to Smolderforge! You can find all the normal drop pieces available in the mall under the PvE Vendor. The prices for Tier 6 have additionally been lowered and the off-set SWP "T6.5" pieces added. If you are a donor, all of these items are available in the donor mall for discounted prices.

Additionally, Season 3 is now the starting gear! Season 2 has been depreciated and is available under the transmog NPC. Season 4 is also now able to be purchased with honor points in addition to arena points. However, weapons and shoulders are still arena point/rating-only.

Scarlet Citadel, our custom raid now drops ONE piece of Sunwell gear or a weapon in the final loot chest! The trash mobs now drop SWP patterns to craft additional Sunwell items. Sunfire Robe anyone?

We hope you like these changes. Ultimately, with a 10+-year-old game, we must make changes like this to spice up the gameplay. We are quite limited with what 2.4.3 may still offer. We hope that many of you who have been with us for years will enjoy the gameplay you remember from our earlier years. I, for one look forward to playing Shockadin again! See you in-game!

And what about the players that had the full sets before u deleted it all? U have any idea how much time and effort it was to get the sets? Now u expect us to do the same all over again?

That was over four years ago. If we restored all the sets that would be a pretty boring content update to release. All older players get their stuff restored but new players are woefully behind? We are not viewing this as a "revert" of those changes but as a content progression update. Sunwell gear was removed in 2014 because we felt, at the time, it was not right for the server. Restoring it would undermine what we're trying to do this time.

Your first post here was in 2015 saying that you were new to the server -- a year after we removed Sunwell gear... how does this even remotely affect you?
