they had content all the way to wotlk, they just couldn't do it in time before the promised release date of wow. if everything would've turned tbc and wotlk wouldn't have been an expantion but vanilla would've included tbc and wotlk but because they couldn't make it in time of the promising release date they just released what they had which would turn out to be what we know as todays vanilla, thats why the patches came pretty fast and they could finish all the things for tbc and wotlk and decided to make it into what we know today as expantion which became a big factor for their marketing. Which if u think about it makes sense night elves starting zone is at kalimdor and blood elves starting zone is at eastern kingdoms. all the easter eggs you could find in vanilla were there because of the two next expantion, it wasn't like they were teasing it they were just keeping it in vanilla because they knew it would become a part of the game somewhere down the line because of all the undone material as we know as tbc and wotlk today.
im not sure about now but an old blizz dev commented on a blizzard forum post a long time ago saying you will only get in trouble if they have to get your character unstuck in an out of bounds area
4:15 For the Hellscream monument you get a quest in a Classic Event where you deliver an offering and they reward you with the item "Bounty of the Harvest".
10 for me. You have no idea how tired I'am of that quest system of "bring me X/X, kill X/X get X/X and make a pie so you can go to the next area of quests" yet I'm still playing it...
You could be do the /chicken to the chickens at Brill, Tirisfal Glades. You can buy the Special Chicken Feed from an undead guy named William Saldean, which is a relative to the alliance Farmer Saldean.
I was a dick on accident a player was spamming /chicken to the chicken so I killed it not knowing what he was doing he was pretty mad at me then he did it again when the chicken revived and a mage fireballed the chicken on purpose I felt bad for that poor little gnome then I remembered hes a fucking gnome and I hate gnomes so fuck him and his chicken dreams
The place to do that would be in the big empty white room in the same district. It's right next to the Stormwind Keep as well. It was a perfect place to hide out in as Horde. No Alliance ever went there.
I remember when people used the term "twink". The funny thing is what the ACTUAL definition is: An attractive gay man 😑 So I always laughed at people referring to themselves (their toon) as a twink or being twi ked out. Lmfao 😂😆
@@asmongoldsmouth9839 it makes actually sense and is indeed derived from the young gay. it means a char that basically has a high lvl sugar daddy and thus has access to the nicest gear there is. you can check the wikipedia entry on "twinking" in RPG
I remember exploring out of bound areas starting from behind Kargath, from which I could travel the entire continent between zones, and find lots of cool things. One day a gm msged me and asked me how I got there. I showed him the hill I would wall jump to get up there. after I showed him he thanked me, then 30 minutes later all servers went DOWN for emergency maintaince, (all of them) and when they came back up an hour later, the hill I used, had be altered and I cou no longer get up there from that spot.... took me, oh about 25 minutes to find another spot. Blizzard shut the servers down shutting EVERYONE out for an hour to take away my secret and it was all for nothing... MUUWWHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I think Cut throat Alley was suppose to be a Area for Rogues. I heard it once before long ago. Where each Major City was suppose to get a Location for their classes. Just like the area to the right as you are about to go over the bridge in Stormwind. To the right there is a path down. That area was reserved for the druids Class area.
Yah. There's always a circle jerk going on in those places in RP. A LOT of gay people on WoW. I had no idea. But they only like RP servers. To each, their own 👍
@@asmongoldsmouth9839 lol what? Dude I think the amount of gay ppl is the same on every realm, most role players are straight dudes playing lesbians. xD
I think there is/was a quest in cut-throat alley. It may be a blacksmithing quest, a class quest, or one high up in the SI7 quest chain that not a lot of people do. But I seem to remember you going in there and having to fight off some cut-throats. It was hard to find and the name was the only clue you had, that you were in the right place. I thing the Ashenvale place was also used in a Warlock class quest that was removed.
A few more. There was a hidden way to get to where the airport is above Ironforge. Also there was a staircase in ironforge where you could stand under and duel with someone. Around the corner from that if you had some who you were dueling with could fear, you can stand on a ledge at a wall and be feared through the wall into a inaccessible lava room with a staircase and crystals.
Man I just love all the "hidden" locations in the game like the NPC's atop Northshire / Elwynn Forest if you jumped up the lake, and the Troll-Village between Moonglade and Darkshore, so many locations that were actually not intended for players to see but still some smart dude out there went exploring and found them :D
When I first played classic, i found hellscreams monument... This make me realise how much Me and the game changed, even he says there is no q mob or any special rare and I went there cuz I wanted to explore. Now I just rush and try to get max lvl as fast as possible
I knew and visited all of them back in the classic times! My personal favs where the Ironforge 'Airport' located East from Ironforge and the Waterarea inside of the Ironforge Subway. Took me forever to find ways into both but was damn worth it! Oh and the Secret Island at the South of Kalimdor
the first one is very well known. there is a flight path that takes u right thru the troll village...... for alliance im pretty sure.. if u fly from moonglade/winterspring to darkshore..
I think Nixxiom uses #5 a lot for his videos. That looks like the place that the character that the channel is named after is usually sitting in eating Gnomes or something before Noob or Moocluck come in to bother him.
There were several ways of getting into Mount Hyjal in vanilla that were removed slowly through patches. In early vanilla you could die near the gates and just walk through as a ghost and rez on the other side. After that was patched out you could use the unstuck tool (if your hs was on cd or deleted) and get teleported to the other side. After that was deleted you had to go through some jump challenges
From what I have heard back in the day, Hyjial was originally going to be the location of Onyxia's Lair, a counter to Nefarians lair being in Black Rock Mountain, but due to time & asset constraints they instead moved the raid to Dustwallow Marsh.
The Grom Hellscream monument is part of an event quest where you go there to pay homage to Grom. You get some gold and a neat item that crafts food in your mail a day later.
Troll village was set dressing for flight path and is now used in BFA. The hidden ally is part of the rogue quests after Cata. Grom hellscream area has Horde quests and warlock quests.
A big secret I found, Easter eggs from the dungeon "Escape From Durnhold." If you go directly south on map, you'll reach Tarren mill and inside the inn, is Commander Mograine and Kel'Thezud among others as humans, talking
In 5:06 there's actually one of those seasonal quests that tells you to go there. The ancients or something, can't remember now. But I did it (Horde side). There was a guy just outside Org gates, and there was like a table with food and drinks. You were supposed to pay respects there or bring something as part of the quest. I also remember having to go up hill to kill some demons there for some reason, not sure if it was to help a warlock friend or something, to get his minion maybe.
Just gonna list my favorite spots! Getting under stormwind. The house that is hidden in westfall (go up the west waters and follow it north) Getting into Hyjal (there was a place in there that had a construction site) Gnomergan airport on top of Iron Forge The diving board in Felwood
Under Stormwind was one of my guild's favorite hangout spots back in the day. Was also a neat place to explore while waiting for bg ques on my twink rogue.
The troll villlage is there as something you can see when taking the free TB flight path from Moonglade (have to be a druid?). Like a piece of scenery, probably a whimsical way to break up the monotonous landscape texture when flying down those mountains.
You can get under Stormwind from the torch to the right of the underpass as well. Or at least you could last time I tried, which was probably back in Wrath. And I doubt you’ll be banned for going there. I don’t think Activision cares. Either that or I’ve just been really lucky with all the places I’ve explored without getting banned. And when I went under Stormwind I did it on my Blood Elf. So I think I would have attracted more attention to myself than an Alliance player. But generally they won’t ban you unless an exploit is game breaking - if it give you an unfair advantage in leveling, the market, raiding, or PVP. But getting under Stormwind is pretty benign and effects no one other than your character.
Yeah, I agree. I never got in trouble despite all the times I went down there. Even during the stress test there was always atleast one other person down there. If it bothered them that much they could fix it rather easily, but they don't, because I think they don't really care. The only time I know someone's gotten in trouble is when they went in the gated off instance portal section of Stormwind, which you need to go under Stormwind to get inside of. Plus it wasn't just one person, they brought a whole raid group/guild
When Murky the baby Murloc was placed in the Forlorn Cavern in Ironforge after a Blizzcon, I spent a lot of time petting him to hear his gurgly baby sounds. No reason; I just needed cheering up. After what must have been a hundred clicks, Murky whipped out a top hat and started dancing for a few seconds, just like the frog in the old cartoon. I can’t be the only one who saw that?
Also I remember going into mount hyjal back then and seeing the raid portal, the world tree and the signs around the map saying blizzard constructions :O It was amazing until a GM teleported me out of there xD
number 4 is not that secret as there *is* a quest take takes you there. Also the torch on the right side of the archway in the end is much easier to jump up on as it is lower to the ground
I guess you mean these quests - Destroy the Legion - Never again! - Diabolical plans sorry to burst your bubble but they were added in TBC, they did not exist in Classic and that makes the place usually never visited, remember there was no "Explorer" title in Classic so you were not so tempted to explore map locations.
Hyjal is a raid in TBC. The layout is the same as the raid's. Caverns of Time can be accessed the same way in Vanilla. This was just a preparation for TBC.
Number 4, the hellscream monument is actually used for a quest, for event Honoring the heroes. The counter part of honoring the alliance hero. I forgot the exact name. It’s during the specific event
In my few years of playing MMO i learned that secret areas are just hideouts for players to conjugate talk about anything and GMs to catch MMO pirates that intent to divulge secrets.
There is a quest to the area by that monument to Grom - I did it earlier. The demons in that area drop the item 'Diabolical Plans' which lead to a quest called 'Never Again!' which has you in that region killing two boss NPCs
The Alley was the sight of a rogue quest that was removed if i remember right had something to do with pickpocketing a thug and getting caught and having to fight his 2 buddies then being taught how to do it right as a human rogue though whether that was beta or one of the vanilla builds i don't remember.
Horde PVP players would often use the glitch in Stormwind to snipe alliance players then duck in to avoid incoming fire(rinse and repeat). The Alliance would use it as a defense point during large scale PVP raids made by Horde using the same snipe routine. Good times and GM's rarely did anything about it unless enough Alliance players complained and would politely ask the glitching horde members present to leave (i don't recall any direct threats of bans, just congratulations on finding the secret spot really).
No Masters Glaive but the Hellscream Monument? Hope there will be a part 2, a lot missing in my opinion. Still great Video. Some examples what I am missing: Silithus huts behind AQ (swimming from tanaris) Masters Glaive (nearly never mentioned) Azshara Crater (in original 1.12 was doable by wallclimbing the hills, just needed speedboost at 2 jumps) Old Morast (Caverns of Time) and CoT themselves and old hillsbrad foothills with slightly different model The Great Sea Unused "Outlands" / hellfire peninsula (no, not that shitty Deadmines part) Designer Island and GM Island were both actually on the normal world map. GM Island to northwest of Darnassus, Designers Island to the north-north east of Quel Thalas Tower Booty Bay Bell Uninstanced Zul'Farrak and Shadowfang Keep ( I let you explore what both have ;) ) Hope this helps for part 2
the masters glaive isn't really hidden.. at all.. Onu sends you there to do a quest and there is also an escort quest inside and also a rare spawn. the lore of the masters glaive is pretty sweet tho its basically an old god with a titans sword in its skull!
Missed the Hellraiser dungeon below Karazhan. There was a gate, which you could pass through as a ghost, and explore this winding dungeon area, including rooms full of chains hanging from the ceiling and upside down people hanging from those chains.
Grom actually dies from killing the demon because when he kills the demon demon releases energy which burns the shit out of Grom. He is still a badass orc though took out a pit Lord by himself
well there is even another way to get underneath stormwind. If you go over the mountains in the Dwarven snow area. From there you can access to Thorium peak and underneath Stormwind from the mountainside. For some strange reason you´re considered in westfall if you´re an little north from Stormwind.
#7 Hidden troll village is just for shows while you use a flightpath. #6 The tower was intended for later use, as it is today the startzone for BE. So they did add it, but nothing to do there. #5"Hidden SW alley" was used a lot back in vanilla, for RP, Guilds and actually a meet up for trades and profession skills. #4 And yes it was a easter about Warcraft, they wanted the players to know where it was in WoW. #3 Chicken is available for Horde as well, Undeads got this farmer around starter town that sells the same Chicken feed. #2 You are correct about Hyjal, they was planning to use it in vanilla, but they did change it, later in BC hyjal became a raid in CoT, the portal you find in vanilla is somehow linked to the idea. "The exit" of the dungeon if you would like. #1 Underneath Stormwind actually got players in trouble as it was not intended, as we got this for Alliance, we got the secret room for Horde by jumping outside the hunter trainers in Orgrimmar. The room is in honor of a Blizzard Employ who died to cancer. (old news I know.) #0 PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE TO THIS COMMENT FOR MORE COMMENTS!
#4 The Grom Monument, there were a couple of quests back in original Ashenvale, that took u there. The quests were optional tho, so many ppl may not have done them. The quests had nothing to do with Grom, just the usual kill x of this and collect y of that. Grom was just there.
One answer for the troll village is that could have been the starting area of the trolls they originally intended upon doing but rather then getting rid of that asset they decided to move it somewhere else.
The Shatterspear troll village is actually used in modern Darkshore. Alliance players leveling through the zone will eventually fight their way to the vale, where the Shatterspear trolls have aligned themselves with the Horde and are encroaching on the Night Elf settlements.
I'm pretty sure the hidden Troll village was an early stage of development or plans for the quest chain for alliance in Darkshore that takes you to that troll village to fight off the trolls near the end of the Darkshore campaign
You could do the “under stormwind” glitch a few different ways. We used to call that Neverland on my server lmao. Did it hundreds of times, Blizzard didn’t give two shits.
Cut Throat Alley used to have a quest there If I remember correctly. I can't remember if it was rogue only though, but you had to go in there to get something and some mobs unstealthed and attacked you.
The troll village was just a flight path cosmetic. There are lots of these all over the pre cataclysm maps because the continents were actually not completely developed. Places like the troll village are just fillers. There was also a goblin lumbermill between Stonetalon Mountains and Desolace, the Silithus cave in Dun Morogh, the house and creek between Burning Steppes and Northshire, Dun Morogh airport, the farm between Wetlands and Dun Morogh and so on.
I used to like going in to the building at the back of the hidden Stormwind alley and lay my character down in the bed when I would log out back in vanilla. If I remember correctly, there is a horde friendly merchant somewhere that sells the chicken feed so Horde can get the chicken, but maybe this was added after vanilla.
if you are at the air port and go to the top of ironforge gate and jump, you will float all the way to strangletorn and into the sea until you die from exhaustion.
He probably did that because he has already dragged out this video just past the 10 minute mark and there will probably be a part 2 that will also be just over 10 minutes.
@vaulty You forgot that under stormwind in that glitch in the end of the video in one spot u can fall through the ground and end up in the mage tower area with all the trainers for mages.
It was possible to get into hyjal through the gate in the demon area as well, if you died right beside the gate, then a night elf spirit could jump and push at different spots and work through the gate and resurrect on the far side. When I got in there years ago, it actually had some under construction signs on the path near the world tree.
I got into Hyjal back in the day using the priest levitate glitch, also I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the storm wind glitch stayed in the game for so long and that last time I checked it was on the current classic wow
@@RhysGFrelsa-Eudyptula It's about secrets in Classic; the zone was then unreachable except through very specific mountain hikes, and there were no quests there. Dropping down on the Wetlands side of the Dun Morogh mountain range, there was a (nigh-unreachable) Dwarven-styled farm, as well!
trippy, i found that exact same smiley face in order and chaos (a wow clone for ipad) by running outside the map and running for 15 minutes and finding an abandoned town
Blizzard: *makes a giant world where exploration is integral
Also Blizzard: *bans players who explore too much

When Murky the baby Murloc was placed in the Forlorn Cavern in Ironforge after a Blizzcon, I spent a lot of time petting him to hear his gurgly baby sounds. No reason; I just needed cheering up. After what must have been a hundred clicks, Murky whipped out a top hat and started dancing for a few seconds, just like the frog in the old cartoon. I can’t be the only one who saw that?
The Grom Hellscream stuff used to have an event where you would take some 'Grom's blood' herb to the shrine
Thrall was already leader of the Horde in WC 3.
That Grom dies doesn't change the leadership. Grom was just leader his clan, not the horde.
My dad showed me the chicken trick when I was eight. I was obsessed with it to say the least lol
You do realize that the monument is still in modern wow and there are around 3quests there.
Mannoroth doesnt kill Gromm, Gromm kills him and he sacrifices to protect Thrall :(
technically it was a double kill. Grom Killed Mannoroth who exploded and mortally wounded Grom.
Stormwind hidden zone is excluded place in Moon Guard where people go here to do dark ERP
The Goldshire kids and their circle of C'thun is a way more hidden secret
Also I remember going into mount hyjal back then and seeing the raid portal, the world tree and the signs around the map saying blizzard constructions :O It was amazing until a GM teleported me out of there xD
his voice tone at the end of each sentence is so wierd
number 4 is not that secret as there *is* a quest take takes you there.
Also the torch on the right side of the archway in the end is much easier to jump up on as it is lower to the ground
Minimeister317 that list is just whole bullshit
I guess you mean these quests
- Destroy the Legion
- Never again!
- Diabolical plans
sorry to burst your bubble but they were added in TBC, they did not exist in Classic and that makes the place usually never visited, remember there was no "Explorer" title in Classic so you were not so tempted to explore map locations.
Hyjal is a raid in TBC. The layout is the same as the raid's. Caverns of Time can be accessed the same way in Vanilla. This was just a preparation for TBC.
they removed the skelly from the tree
The hidden troll village is designed to have something to look at while flying
Number 4, the hellscream monument is actually used for a quest, for event Honoring the heroes. The counter part of honoring the alliance hero. I forgot the exact name. It’s during the specific event
that secret place in stormwind was going to be player housing but the idea of player housing was scrapped
In my few years of playing MMO i learned that secret areas are just hideouts for players to conjugate talk about anything and GMs to catch MMO pirates that intent to divulge secrets.
I can't believe he pretended he didn't know about cutthroat alley lol.
Westfall also has the secret fishing line/ring you can fish up there in the pond near the way down to Deadmines
Funny, I did a totally different set of jumps behind the cathedral to get behind that weird blocked portal door / under stormwind.
There is a quest to the area by that monument to Grom - I did it earlier. The demons in that area drop the item 'Diabolical Plans' which lead to a quest called 'Never Again!' which has you in that region killing two boss NPCs
The Alley was the sight of a rogue quest that was removed if i remember right had something to do with pickpocketing a thug and getting caught and having to fight his 2 buddies then being taught how to do it right as a human rogue though whether that was beta or one of the vanilla builds i don't remember.
Yes
Horde PVP players would often use the glitch in Stormwind to snipe alliance players then duck in to avoid incoming fire(rinse and repeat). The Alliance would use it as a defense point during large scale PVP raids made by Horde using the same snipe routine. Good times and GM's rarely did anything about it unless enough Alliance players complained and would politely ask the glitching horde members present to leave (i don't recall any direct threats of bans, just congratulations on finding the secret spot really).
No Masters Glaive but the Hellscream Monument?
Hope there will be a part 2, a lot missing in my opinion. Still great Video.
Some examples what I am missing:
Silithus huts behind AQ (swimming from tanaris)
Masters Glaive (nearly never mentioned)
Azshara Crater (in original 1.12 was doable by wallclimbing the hills, just needed speedboost at 2 jumps)
Old Morast (Caverns of Time) and CoT themselves and old hillsbrad foothills with slightly different model
The Great Sea Unused
"Outlands" / hellfire peninsula (no, not that shitty Deadmines part)
Designer Island and GM Island were both actually on the normal world map. GM Island to northwest of Darnassus, Designers Island to the north-north east of Quel Thalas Tower
Booty Bay Bell
Uninstanced Zul'Farrak and Shadowfang Keep ( I let you explore what both have ;) )
Hope this helps for part 2
the masters glaive isn't really hidden.. at all.. Onu sends you there to do a quest and there is also an escort quest inside and also a rare spawn. the lore of the masters glaive is pretty sweet tho its basically an old god with a titans sword in its skull!
Missed the Hellraiser dungeon below Karazhan. There was a gate, which you could pass through as a ghost, and explore this winding dungeon area, including rooms full of chains hanging from the ceiling and upside down people hanging from those chains.
Grom actually dies from killing the demon because when he kills the demon demon releases energy which burns the shit out of Grom. He is still a badass orc though took out a pit Lord by himself
well there is even another way to get underneath stormwind. If you go over the mountains in the Dwarven snow area. From there you can access to Thorium peak and underneath Stormwind from the mountainside. For some strange reason you´re considered in westfall if you´re an little north from Stormwind.
I think for the first 1, that might've been the original troll starting area. The npcs are only level 12 or so.
#7 Hidden troll village is just for shows while you use a flightpath.
#6 The tower was intended for later use, as it is today the startzone for BE. So they did add it, but nothing to do there.
#5"Hidden SW alley" was used a lot back in vanilla, for RP, Guilds and actually a meet up for trades and profession skills.
#4 And yes it was a easter about Warcraft, they wanted the players to know where it was in WoW.
#3 Chicken is available for Horde as well, Undeads got this farmer around starter town that sells the same Chicken feed.
#2 You are correct about Hyjal, they was planning to use it in vanilla, but they did change it, later in BC hyjal became a raid in CoT, the portal you find in vanilla is somehow linked to the idea. "The exit" of the dungeon if you would like.
#1 Underneath Stormwind actually got players in trouble as it was not intended, as we got this for Alliance, we got the secret room for Horde by jumping outside the hunter trainers in Orgrimmar. The room is in honor of a Blizzard Employ who died to cancer. (old news I know.)
#0 PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE TO THIS COMMENT FOR MORE COMMENTS!
#4 The Grom Monument, there were a couple of quests back in original Ashenvale, that took u there. The quests were optional tho, so many ppl may not have done them. The quests had nothing to do with Grom, just the usual kill x of this and collect y of that. Grom was just there.
Quests are still there.... very long ass questlines in Ashenvale.
I was on a roleplaying server, so Cutthroat Alley was a frequently visited location, hah.
Uh, you can do the chicken quest with literally any chicken, horde as well. Dude near undercity sells the feed too.
One answer for the troll village is that could have been the starting area of the trolls they originally intended upon doing but rather then getting rid of that asset they decided to move it somewhere else.
But the "hiden" troll village is for a quest in darkshore
Not in vanilla
The Shatterspear troll village is actually used in modern Darkshore. Alliance players leveling through the zone will eventually fight their way to the vale, where the Shatterspear trolls have aligned themselves with the Horde and are encroaching on the Night Elf settlements.
The chicken quest is also the only quest in the game classified as Special
7 things OP didn't know about WoW.
Lol
that was a lich king quest where you see arthus and his fall before he become the lich king
I'm pretty sure the hidden Troll village was an early stage of development or plans for the quest chain for alliance in Darkshore that takes you to that troll village to fight off the trolls near the end of the Darkshore campaign
Often guilds will hold meetings in cut throat alley and a lot of people use it to log out if they pvp. You basically talked about fight club.
If I'm not wrong this part of Ashenvale was the only place where you can mine silver ore... so there was a reason to go there...
You could do the “under stormwind” glitch a few different ways. We used to call that Neverland on my server lmao. Did it hundreds of times, Blizzard didn’t give two shits.
Cut Throat Alley used to have a quest there If I remember correctly. I can't remember if it was rogue only though, but you had to go in there to get something and some mobs unstealthed and attacked you.
'chicken pet for 10 copper' *chicken feed costs 25 copper earlier in the video*
had the exact same thought xD
Going underneath Stormwind is how you get to GM island
Ban?
You can get attacked by NPC rogues in that alley in SW.
You forgot the sick guy in the house, a cave and village in the South, the islands in the South, Ironforge, Ahn Qirai Secret spots
Cuz he didn't know mate.
The troll village was just a flight path cosmetic. There are lots of these all over the pre cataclysm maps because the continents were actually not completely developed. Places like the troll village are just fillers. There was also a goblin lumbermill between Stonetalon Mountains and Desolace, the Silithus cave in Dun Morogh, the house and creek between Burning Steppes and Northshire, Dun Morogh airport, the farm between Wetlands and Dun Morogh and so on.
I used to like going in to the building at the back of the hidden Stormwind alley and lay my character down in the bed when I would log out back in vanilla. If I remember correctly, there is a horde friendly merchant somewhere that sells the chicken feed so Horde can get the chicken, but maybe this was added after vanilla.
You are rong 4,50..is you got a q chain there to colect demon blood pre tbc atlest
For the troll village, they've already said that they put it in there so people had something to look at during flight paths.
4:30 Thrall was the warchief even befor grom died
Iron forge airport!! This was insane when I found it
if you are at the air port and go to the top of ironforge gate and jump, you will float all the way to strangletorn and into the sea until you die from exhaustion.
You left out Old Ironforge, the dwarf/gnome airport and the tunnel to the void in Lock Modan (I think it was there)
He probably did that because he has already dragged out this video just past the 10 minute mark and there will probably be a part 2 that will also be just over 10 minutes.
@vaulty You forgot that under stormwind in that glitch in the end of the video in one spot u can fall through the ground and end up in the mage tower area with all the trainers for mages.
It was possible to get into hyjal through the gate in the demon area as well, if you died right beside the gate, then a night elf spirit could jump and push at different spots and work through the gate and resurrect on the far side.
When I got in there years ago, it actually had some under construction signs on the path near the world tree.
I got into Hyjal back in the day using the priest levitate glitch, also I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the storm wind glitch stayed in the game for so long and that last time I checked it was on the current classic wow
What about ironforge airport? :)
There was two ways to go there from Loch Madon in Vanilla.
That isn't unknown and there are quests there.
@@RhysGFrelsa-Eudyptula It's about secrets in Classic; the zone was then unreachable except through very specific mountain hikes, and there were no quests there. Dropping down on the Wetlands side of the Dun Morogh mountain range, there was a (nigh-unreachable) Dwarven-styled farm, as well!
trippy, i found that exact same smiley face in order and chaos (a wow clone for ipad) by running outside the map and running for 15 minutes and finding an abandoned town
