Refuge Pointe Inn

Here we have the Refuge Pointe Inn.

Isn't it beautiful?
Location: Refuge Pointe, Arathi Highlands, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 40.07.49.01
Capacity: No seating. There's plenty of room around the fire outside of the tent that counts as the inn.
Rooms: None. There is a tent.
Architectural Style: Human tent.
Important NPCs: Vikki Lonsav (Innkeeper)
Atmosphere: It's a tent. In a relatively empty camp.
Amenities: Easy access to Arathi Basin (that is what it's called, right? I know nothing about PvP).
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 1/5
It's a tent.

What a great camp!

Deepwater Tavern

Here's the Deepwater Tavern!


Location: Menethil Harbor, Wetlands, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 10.78.59.63
Capacity: 3. Only three chairs in this place are interactable. There are twenty one chairs total, some of which are sit-able, and one long bench that can easily hold four people.
Rooms: 3. One room has two single beds, one has a large bed, and then the biggest room has a large bed and private sitting room.
Architectural Style: Human
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Helbrek
Atmosphere: Pretty quiet but the inn itself seems like it must be pretty soggy and moldy what with the flood outside and all. Very little player foot traffic as well, it would seem.
Amenities: Not all that much. There is a Flight Master a little walk away. Also, the whole outside is one giant swimming pool!
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 1/5
Altogether a rather boring inn.


Thundermar Town

Okay, I love this town so much that I couldn't just do an inn post for it.

Location: Thundermar, Twilight Highlands, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 48.85.29.60
First off, I roleplay solely in my own head because I'm painfully shy, and I tend to prefer non-combat roleplay in general (in Skyrim I actually have a character that I play as a farmer, for example).

First off, one more thing about the inn that didn't fit into the inn post.

It's got a desk! Which I love!
Now to showcase the restaurant:


Upstairs has two tables, each with two seats. The Food & Drink Vendor doesn't sell anything particularly great, but think of the possibilities of this place. Downstairs there are two ramps going down. One goes down into a little mini brewery, and one into a bedroom.

Next up is the Brewery:

I'm such a sucker for shop desks.
This one has two seats by the fire, and six sit-able stools, three at tables and three at the bar. Downstairs is the brewery itself with all the kegs.

Here's the Shop:

Look, another desk!
This one has six benches and one stool at the desk, plus one sit-able stool behind the desk. I could see this being played as like an auction house or a shop / impromptu town hall.

Finally, we have the Hatchery:

Cute baby gryphons included.
Cute cute and with two sit-able stools.

I don't know, I just think this place is great. As I said in the inn post though, this place seems too good to be true and it probably gets destroyed in a quest. I'm not positive of that, but it just seems too perfect.

Thundermar Inn

Here's Thundermar Inn. Warning: I love this one. It's so cute and I just feel like it's probably something that gets destroyed during a questline or something. I've only gone through Twilight Highlands once and it wasn't on this character, so I have no idea.

The entryway looks like a church.
Location: Thundermar, Twilight Highlands, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 49.44.30.08
Capacity: 6. All of the chairs are in the entryway.
Rooms: No actual rooms, but there are two available beds downstairs; three, if you don't mind a Dwarf sitting at the end of one of them.
Architectural Style: Dwarf, specifically Wildhammer.
Important NPCs: Naveen Tendernose (Innkeeper)
Atmosphere: Cute and quaint. A pretty entryway with a neat ramp leading downstairs into the sleeping quarters. All situated in a perfectly adorable little town.
Amenities: Great roleplaying amenities. Situated in town you'll find a little restaurant, brewery, forge, shop (empty shop, I might add), and gryphon hatchery. Very cute.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 4/5
This score is based purely on its RP potential, at least in my eyes, due to the town (which, by the way, I'm about to write a Neat Spot post on because I love it so much).



No menu for this inn because there are no vendors within the inn (aside from a reagents vendor, but he doesn't sell food). Check the restaurant for that!

Firebeard's Patrol Inn

Here we have the lovely, scenic Firebeard's Patrol Inn!

 
It's nice on the inside, so let's just ignore the fact that the rest of the town is on fire.
Location: Firebeard's Patrol, Twilight Highlands, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 60.32.58.06

Capacity: 5. On the main floor is one chair by the door. Downstairs you'll find four available chairs, and one sit-table stool. One chair by a cozy fire, three chairs at a table, and the stool by a small table in the corner. There is also plenty of floor space downstairs.
Rooms: 1. It's very tiny and really only the right size for a Gnome though. It's on the main floor.
Architectural Style: Dwarven, specifically Wildhammer (that's right, right?)
Important NPCs: Innkeeper Corlin, Hurley Hoppleham (Food & Drink)
Atmosphere: This is a really nice inn, but it's ruined by the fires outside, enemies on the doorstep, and constant annoying noise that happens every few seconds.
Amenities: Not really much out here, honestly. There's a neat little forge area though.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 2/5
If there wasn't fire, enemies, and annoying noises then this would be one of my favorite inns, to be honest. I really like it.

If I didn't know any better I'd think she started it.

Victor's Point Inn

Here we have the inn at Victor's Point.

As far as tiny base camp inns go, this one's pretty nice, just saying.
Capacity: No seating. Although, there are two sit-able benches right next to the building that can easily fit three people. Just a bit across the camp there's another campfire with three more benches as well.
Rooms: None available. The one room of the inn is taken. There are, however, many, many empty tents throughout the camp.
Architectural Style: Human. Possibly with Gilnean influences.
Important NPCs:  Ben Mora (Innkeeper)
Atmosphere: It feels like a base camp should. There's a command table directly next to the inn building, campfires with benches, tents, and an army preparing. Relaxing? No. Serious? Yes.
Amenities: Not all that much. There's a Flight Master right next door, and given what type of area this is, I'm going to put down a Bowyer as an amenity.
Inns of Warcraft Rating: 3/5
Amenities and housing are lackluster, but as far as character and potential go? This one's pretty good. I can visualize storylines for this place.

The rest of the camp.

Farstrider Lodge

Here's the Farstrider Lodge!

In the background, obviously. This rock my character is standing on is not the inn, and that bird is not the innkeeper.

Location: Farstrider Lodge, Loch Modan, Eastern Kingdoms

Coordinates: 83.91.62.34


Capacity: No seating. There's sit-able benches though. And, like many Night Elven inns, there is plenty of sitting room on the floor.
Rooms: None. Plenty of floor space though! And benches.
Architectural Style: Night Elf
Important NPCs: Vyrin Swiftwind (Innkeeper), Xandar Goodbeard (General Supplies)
Atmosphere: Natural. It's an open-air Night Elf building, so what do you expect? Overall though, this one is actually rather pretty. It would help if it wasn't raining in my game right now, because it makes me assume that this inn would be rather damp and moldy.
Amenities: Merchants and a Flight Master are right inside the inn. The biggest drawback is how far away it is from anything else.
Inns of Warcraft Quality Rating: 2/5
It's a pretty building, but the lack of functionality isn't so great.
