Please don't put anachronistic items in the game

anachronistic - belonging to a period other than that being portrayed.
I hope there won't be sunglasses, baseball caps, etc. It just really breaks the immersion for me. However, I'm less bothered about adaptations to Halloween, Christmas, and such (for holiday events, I don't mean I want a Santa Clause cosmetic).

They could go for the overdone By the Waters of Babylon trope, as it does kind of fit with the theme of civilization being destroyed and rising from the ashes. I wouldn't mind that as much I think
If we get a vehicle id like to see it be powered by magic and not resemble rl transportation vehicles. Like how in the movie atlantis they have flying fish. Would def fit more into a mmorpg than a car.
I guess sometimes there are goblin races who make mechanical things. But they gotta look like that stupid race made some jankety thing. Not some shiny ass car.
Some of the monsters were alien and maybe they're going to redesign the element of what corruption is, or maybe they won't, but I'm sure it'll serve the game.
You can mix high fantasy and steampunk really well
I can see why
I once googled: "rare english words that no one ever uses"
I was not disappointed! xD
- Kerfluffle
- Hullaballoo
- Ragamuffin
- Gobbledygook
- Poppycock
- Lackadaisical
- Lollygag
- Flink
- Aglet
I use Kerfuffle (not Kerfluffle) and it is not uncommon word to hear used either. I would not go as far to call it rare for sure. Same with some of the other words. I think a lot depends on your local dialect in the UK. They are certainly words that are starting to disappear from the English vocabulary.
Alas, none of those words were new to me.

I will admit that I only know what an aglet is because Phineas and Ferb devoted an episode to Aglet Awareness.
Other than that I don’t think of any of those words being rare.
I try to fit in "discombobulation" whenever I can.
Flink is debatable tbh:
“Flink” is, however, found all over the internet, variously defined as “a group of twelve cows,” “at least twelve cows,” and so on. Obviously it’s not impossible for a word or usage to originate on the internet. But this isn’t “lolcat” or “spam,” and “flink” is widely presented as an established term on lists of collective animal nouns (“pod” of whales, “murder” of crows, etc.). Something is fishy.
Poking around on the trail of “flink,” I came upon what may be the explanation for its apparently sudden appearance sometime around 2002. In an article in one of the behind-the-scenes parts of Wikipedia, a user suggests that “flink” might be a fanciful invention based on the “cow” of that “cowardly” in the OED definition, and that, furthermore, “flink” might actually be a “mountweazel” that has, so to speak, escaped into the wild.
