WHY THE WALSHING FLAK IS LENDRI A HUMAN?!

[CappnRob]

Eh.

As I've said before I think there are indeed cities which are not represented... but I generally take them to be a bit smaller than the scale portrayed in Stratholme. Either way I see no way to justify a large human city to be neutral, if it were to be put through. The Argents don't have towns, per se- they mostly work out of other towns of factions and military bases.

And couldn't it technically be used for flashback esque stuff already?

This would remoive the 5-man limit :P

CAN SOME ONE TELL ME WHY LENDRI IS ALL LIVING AND STUFF?!

She was alive at one point, after all.

When people are talking about the lore-incredulity of a human city that tolerates Orcs and the like, all I can think about is Jaina Proudmoore and Theramore.

The inn looks awesome, in any case. It's a shame that it can't be opened without opening the entirety of Stratholme.

That was one human leader, and even then I don't believe they openly had orcs chumming around in the town.

I hardly think we should say that's a standard, or impose it upon other settlements from that single example. :x

We've had custom areas created for far less in the past...

For a tavern that actually has quite a bit of potential to see genuine use, I don't see much of a real reason not to create it. Location (ICly at least) would be the biggest problem I could foresee, because that would pretty much cover why certain people would be in a certain area. That being said, the Argent Dawn or Argent Crusade are a viable option, not insomuch as for their ability to create a tavern, but for their ability to 'keep the peace' so to speak.

In the fashion of other 'custom' areas, it wouldn't be a stretch to call it an addition to the Tourny-Grounds, an outpost in the Barrens designed to keep the peace treaty between Theramore and Orgrimmar in place through the polite mingling of factions, or even something so simple as say a Blood Elf and an open minded Human going into business together... Well, anywhere.

There's always the possibility though, that it won't actually see the RP it deserves, which would be incredibly disappointing after the entire ordeal. If anything, I think it should be ICly created, through IC means, by IC characters, with OOC approval. Create characters -designed- to keep it running. Create said human and blood elf, or the Argent owner of the inn, or the Theramore ex-Marine and the former Orcish Grunt that join forces (just as an example) and forge your way into it like they would. Throw up personal ads volunteering to pay with a percentage of the IC currency used to buy a drink. Stimulate the economy.

If you do go that route however, don't be surprised, but rather anticipate, not being able to play the character ever again. You can't own the area after all, but that doesn't mean you can't continue to stimulate it in your own way, acting as a bar keep, bus boy, dish washer, or a simple background ambiance character. You have to show that you want this to really get it... Even then you might not be permitted, but the simple effort might make it just that much more likely for you to succeed in your next endeavor, since you really do end up putting your heart and soul into what it is you're going after.

In any case, G'luck, I hope it gets added as an RP area!

Why not just go to the Drudaen?

[Fortwit]

Please note, I do not wish this to be a whole city. I never implied it and I don't agree with others over that.

The inn looks awesome, in any case. It's a shame that it can't be opened without opening the entirety of Stratholme.

The entrance can easily be completely blocked by a locked door, making all of Stratholme completely inaccessible. And even if it is unaccessible, it should not matter. It is the tavern that is the idea, not the city itself. The idea isn't for it to be part of a specific city, or part of Stratholme. It's an inn. Thank you for all the positive comments, guys. I would definately be opening up a character for this, and using IC currency to server drinks that may well even do effects.

[BountyHunter]

I do like that place. Hopefully deinstancing it would actually remove the 'everyone human' spell.

[CappnRob]

Why not just go to the Drudaen?

Because CHOICES. And Drudaen is in AC, which is a bit out in the middle of nowhere. And because the Culling tavern has a different aesthetic.

[SachikoMaeda]

I support the idea 'cause I was hanging around there with them when we came across it. If you wanted to take the whole city, deinstance it, add in NPCs of other races, and make it a trade town. That'd be a good way to make it neutral if you ask me.

Plus, go in there and all you want to do is RP. It seems much better than Booty Bay to me. And it doesn't exactly have to be used as a tavern. Guilds could use it for recruitment events, it could be a meeting hall, military groups could use it for planning, and whatever else the players can think of. I'd like to have the whole city since it is quite fun to explore... And I would really like to take my less-than-level-80 characters there.

Edit:
I know good and well the plan is only for the inn. If anyone decideds to open the whole city, there can be justification.

[Cressy]

I am sort of against this idea, just for the fact that it will be used for a few days, then back to Booty Bay or wherever. It happens all the time, and I have heard this numerous times before.

"We are going to actually use itttt!"

And it is used little. There really are other fantastic locations to be used. You know? Why go through the work to make something else that won't be used?

I dunno.

I think people going a bit crazy with the whole.

"I want all these RP locations that I will rarely use."

Just saying.

[Morhana]

I agree with CappnRob, and his suggestion of having choices... You know, variety is the spice of life, and all that... And I would intend to use this for the Battle and Gambling Society, given the chance. Now that I've been approved, I have the opportunity to actually use the guild to it's full intended use, and the spacious nature of that tavern will help quite a bit.

Even if we don't use it a lot, what is the harm in not letting us have the choice? It's a totally broken instance that has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
