Build a Panel - World Creation in World of Warcraft
- The team likes the designers to have the freedom to explore the space that they are creating.
- Kul Tiras has been in Warcraft lore from the beginning so the team knew it would be a hearty sea-faring culture from Gilneas.
- Creating cities in WoW is one of the hardest things that the world builders have to do in WoW.
- Early versions of cities have red lines for roads and green spaces for buildings.
- The second phase of creating a city has early renderings of buildings so that the design team can figure out how the player navigates the space.
- Scale is also a huge part of this phase.
- Hamburg Germany and cities in France were looked at for inspiration for Boralus.
