This bundle is marked as pending. It has not been reviewed by a staff member yet.
A merchant's cart that can be seen in many Alliance settlements.
  • Lights in the windows can be turned off with Death animation.
  • An imported texture is used solely for the lights - you can remove this material in Model Editor to make the model use only standard textures (but there will be no more light in the windows, obviously).

I'm not super-pressed about it, but I've been told "Gypsy" is a bit of a slur; might consider renaming it to "Romani Wagon" or "Traveling People Wagon" or something (even though I know that's harder to search) 🤔
Or he can keep it as it it? Let’s keep policital “correctness” out of the 20 years old game.

The next thing you know, people will start requesting Thrall to be renamed into Worker or something stupid like that…

As far as I'm aware, the model I used as concept is still called "Gypsy Wagon" in WoW mpqs, so its name is more of a tribute :wink:
A quick search in Google hasn't revealed that it's widely considered offensive. Also, it doesn't nessessarily mean Romani, it's basically anyone who travels a lot. Here's what Cambridge Dictionary says:
a member of a group of people who travel from place to place esp. in Europe and who originally came from northern India, or anyone who travels often and does not live in one place for long.
Of course, you can always call it "Merchant Cart" in your map or whatever you find more appropriate.

He can do whatever he wants; I'm not forcing him or even demanding anything. Just pointing out something I think he ought to consider, something he may not already know. 🤷‍♂️
