"People are telling me that this island is actually used in a quest line but I just ignore them so I can have more content...isn't this place mysterious, huh?"

8:20 WKM is a secret room found within an escarpment in Orgrimmar. It was added when the city was redesigned with the release of Cataclysm. The 3D artist, Chad Max, who was working on the project, hid this area as an homage to his father William Kenneth Max.

#5 is actually a scarab lord quest area, and there are naga enchantress somewhere near the tanaris shore who cast a speed spell on you for you to be able to swim here faster then fatigue kills you. But this is basically a one time event during opening the gates on An'Qiraj

The troll village was re-introduced in Cataclysm and became a quest running zone for Alliance players. These trolls became pawns of Garrosh in his war, and they're crushed by the Alliance eventually.

Shatterspear village was intended from a developer's perspective to be something interesting to look at as you flew over it. A developer said so, mentioning they must be dancing for a good reason.


So my mind ran with it. Their story is in their name. Shatterspear. A group of peaceful Trolls who found their home in the mountains, inaccessible to the wars of everyone else where they can finally live in peace, shatter their weapons and never draw blood again. It's a cause for celebration.

This is why WoW will always be my favourite game. Just wandering through the world is an experience in an of itself, and with nearly 20 years of memories, for me it's nostalgic too.

You can get into WKM by going opposite the wall-top target dummies in ORG, where the rock wall meets the floor at an acute angle. Then you can goto the menu, hit a keybind to mount onto a really big mount, and hit log out just as you get mounted. If your timing is good, you'll log in on your mount, you can jump through the terrain and down, and then navigate to WKM on a flying mount.

South islands are part of ahn qiraj door opening quest chain

Old ironforge was also another interesting area along with the airport.

I remember getting into Hyjal and finding "Under Construction" road signs with flashing lights, as well as getting into the village below the Ironforge Airport where there was road signs that said "This Way" "That Way" "The Other Way".

i don't know if the dancing troll village is a secret, one of the alliance flightpaths goes right past it

I'm doing the Scepter of the Shifting Sands questline and when I got to the hidden island in southern Tanaris, I was reminded of this video I saw earlier this year. Kinda funny to listen to his theories on what he thought the island was for.

Well it's always nice to see players discovering new areas both on retail and on private servers but you have only just touched the tip of the iceberg.
As a lot of players have already stated, the southern islands are part of the AQ gates quest chain. There is a Naga NPC that gives you a swim speed buff if you are on the quest chain that allows you to get out to the island with out being killed by fatigue.

I would recommend in future videos splitting them into "can be accessed by players" and "can only be accessed by GM R2+". Things like "GM Island", "Old Outlands", "Original Karazhan", "Developer & Programmer Islands", "test boxes 1, 2 and 3", "orignal azshara crater" etc can all only be accessed by using GM commands (and with some, imported maps).

There are plenty of accessible locations for players with out the GM commands too that you could bring up in your videos too that would be fun for people who have never got into the exploration side of wow. You just need to be careful and only use things like noggenfogger / goblin rocket boots and engineering cloaks to help you get to those spots.

Look forward to seeing what else you discover.

Hayven Games made a lot of videos showing off most of the stuff that was out of bounds or not added in the final game, may he rest in peace.

I was a HUGE lore nut for WoW before it came out. I remember playing the RTS games and exploring every nook and cranny about the lore of the game before MMO was released so that I might get an edge. I remember REALLY wanting to see Mt Hyjal and I remember seeing references to it when playing the beta. When I finally got my level 40 warlock mount I went and rode straight to Hyjal. I cant remember how many times I died. I met a few low level 50 peps (most never made it to 60 as the wipes would get you). I remember glitching through the dungeon instance to finally rez inside the zone. I also remember that once you got to the end of the road near the world tree there was a goblin yellow and black sign post with lights on it saying under construction. Don't know if I was the first person to see Hyjal but I was up there. I remember yelling that I found it and got to see it and people were like wtf are you talking about lol.

[desrt]

Great video man, in the last 15 years playing this game I’ve never seen any of these posted. Anywhere. Ever.

Such a fresh list.

[AlexisGri]

The Outland mock-up hidden in the Dead Mines is one of my favorites!

[nakfoor]

Back in the vanilla game another insane secret was the island off the coast of Dustwallow. The King of Stormwind was kept prisoner by elite nagas. No quest in the game linked to it. And yet here was just there to discover.

[kiyoaki]

You missed a few: Quelthalas (before it was released in the game), reachable by swimming around eastern plaguelands, had some weird elf towers and other stuff, newman's landing, the tauren village/cave south of silithus

[WormyMaster]

"Some people say it's part of the AQ opening questline but I don't know that because I'm not familiar with the questline".


Dude, you did so much research on this, you could have very well watched one of the countless other YT videos detailling the questchain...
