In this light, the development team for Wow: The Burning Crusade took painstaking measures to improve every small details of Silvermoon City. One of these is crowd controlling. By installing two auction houses, two banks, two inns, and eleven mailboxes in the city, players now won’t crowd in one spot of interest only.

Newcomers would also be greeted in comfort and style as the new flight master now resides outside the city. The probability of a player getting lost within the city was also cut short as the developers team installed visual markers like the gold statue of an elven huntress outside the hunter trainers building. The new Silvermoon City also retains some of its old attractions such as the golems patrolling the streets, reciting carefully-worded propaganda to remind everyone of their loyalty to Prince Kael’thas. Several non-playable characters will also be expected in Silvermoon like two magi in a polymorph battle and diplomatic emissaries from the Horde.
