It was not that long since the Darkmoon Faire was the talk of the town. The new island, new games, new reputation etc. Everything just had that smell of new car and fun.
The Faire was also an excellent place to obtain quick XP for leveling toons (6 games per day that take about 20 minutes total to finish). With the subtle changes in the prizes (giving Darkmoon Faire prizes with no xp for each 'game' and lack of new prizes has lessened the excitement of the Faire.
Even the introduction of a new world boss, Moonfang, has not put the shot in the arm that the Darkmoon Faire truly needs. So the magic question, does the Darkmoon Faire already need an overhaul? What can be done to change the Faire to bring the mass amounts of players that attended during the original introduction?
The other question to ask: Is it really important to overhaul everything in the game to make it new and shiny? Brewfest just passed us once again, and after four years of the same games, events and beer type of fun it also has lost it's luster. Many players barely acknowledged its arrival. Players were playing with their new shiny dailies in the Timeless Isle and didn't have the time to run back to their home area to zap to another area and play the same boring games once again.
We are not that far from a new expansion introduction for World of Warcraft. Where few rumors have been flying around that the new expansion name is 'Heroes of the Storm' what new 'features' will be brought into the game? And what time honored areas of Azeroth will get it's next spit and polish touchups.
Everything in a game can use spit and polish to bring out it's shine. Adding one or two items unfortunately doesn't bring people back to areas that were once popular. A favored area can always use new siding and a new paint job. The Darkmoon Faire is no different in it's needs to get people excited once again at playing the warcraft version of Carnival.
Now if you will excuse me I have a date with a Dire Wolf.
