Consider using content created by the community/other servers

[Scarecrowgotham]

As you know, the WoW community has undertaken several projects over the years. I believe it's necessary and quite productive to utilize these projects, giving proper credit.

MTL Media: He has several custom zone patches, models, textures, etc., which he has created and published on his YouTube channel. Some are for High Elves, others for Orcs, others are redesigned zones, etc. Please consider his work, as I believe he has contributed greatly to the community. However, I haven't seen any private server projects using his work.

Open Azeroth Project: They have successfully made an incredible contribution to the Vanilla world, uniting zones and completing capital city models that were bugged, had holes, or were poorly made. For example, Stormwind is completely visible from the air and has additions that fit perfectly with the Vanilla world, as they have respected the original cities; the model is now perfectly integrated into the world and geometry.

Other servers: Project Epoch, for example, introduced new areas to Orgrimmar, and some others were filled in, such as that large unused space in Arathi Highlands, along with many others. I also consider it appropriate to use resources from other servers, giving credit where it's due.

Please don't be as closed-minded as the Turtle WoW team was. The WoW modding community is huge, with countless original contributions. I think it's smarter to use those resources than to be stubborn and delay something that could be used and looks amazing.

If you know of any other projects that could contribute to the future development of OctoWoW, please share them.
