This may be best answered by Blizz....but Why is there only 1 Alliance AH in the entire kingdom of Azeroth??
You would think there would be 1 AH on each continent right? Or at least maybe 1 in Outland....and maybe 1 in Northrend...
Yes I know SW is the Alliance city capital.....but it's only an AH for cryin out loud!!
It's not the friggin White House!! So why can't there be more than one??? Why???

There are multiple NPCs in each major city that link to one Auction House. Splitting up into a separate auction house for each city is something that was somewhat done years ago and wasn't a big plus for the economy.

We also don't feel that the auction house really needs to be connected through NPCs in Outland or Northrend or anything as those are areas where front line battles are taking place and not quite as focused on merchant sales. We want players have a reason to visit the home cities and the AH is one of the reasons that fits this nicely.
