Simple Story is that I Model edit the Game to reach the "GM Island", Game master Island, once there Nothing Happens, So I report myself, Argue and Insult a member of Blizzard Customer Support and Get myself Banned. One Fun Journey.
This Video Was Made on 24/09/07 ... On this Patch you CAN join Guilds on Trials , and the Blizz Icon next to the GM's name was Implemented Yet. So Stop Flaming , This was Recorded on LIVE Servers!
The video was made Using Gamecam & Windows Video Maker. Old School ;).
The Video was Made using a Model Edit!!!!! Which means i hacked the game to get there. Where it says scarlet monestary i am hacking the game, so to others id be appearing to walk on air. This Means Im Adding on Land to My Game which is not actually meant to be there, therefore making me able to walk on areas that are unexploreable.

[@RealGairos]

Blizzard have said that those glitchy areas are unstable and might cause the server to crash. I think this is just an excuse. In reality, Blizzard has tons of scrapped content hidden in those "unreachable" areas, and they want to hide it because they might be ashamed of how much promising stuff they have scrapped! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@AndrewRyanNoGodsOrKings]

Gairos this is quite possibly the most retarded attempt at explaining unreachable zones ive ever heard. They would sooner delete anything not useful or not intended to be used rather than place it some where. You dont understand how programming works if you think otherwise.

GM island was both a cool and dumb idea. There's a reason why it got scrapped, it was causing more problems then the island was fixing. The island was made as a place for GMs to just do their job in peace and away from players, but once the rumors of GM island circulated across the community back in Classic/BC, code kiddies and hackers would use scripts and exploits to get to GM island, even after GM island was blocked off by an invisible wall. Still I did like GM island, it was a mystical and mysterious place where characters with godly powers watched over the world of warcraft to make sure the place was safe.

[@ichemosabe]

Is it only me who finds it insane that you walked across the barren virtual wastelands to this place? This is fucking trippy. How the fuck did people figure this out?

[@Deedzalegend]

it was a more or less rumor that the island in the middle of the WoW map was the GM Island. People also stumbled on it when they'd host their own private servers and would travel there. IIRC there were vendors that had items that were over powered and items that could affect the actual game, such as teleporting other players. So people found ways to get there such as running, or one later where you could change a line of text in your game file and jump on a boat that would port you there instead of where it was supposed to go.

[@grumfeldvanderspooijwanker1627]

[@MOJOJOJO1999]

Because no one seems to know why it exists I'll explain. The island only exists for 2 reasons. 1. GMs can go there to not get flocked by players 2. GMs test new stuff on the island as to not bother the players. Blizzard didn't edit the island because they realized that any idiot trying to get there is looking for trouble. Simple as that!

[@Kargaka]

Doesn't explain their sloppiness in putting the island to an area where people could get in. Blizz could build and underwater city without entrance, a floating island where flying mounts are disabled. Or just a big CAVE without an entrance. Getting there shouldn't be punished! And your last sentence is nothing but retarded. There are certain people that play the game in unorthodox ways. And trust me, in any kind of game or REAL LIFE situation those are the people that findd all the inventions that improve technology and such.

I get this is a 5 year old comment, but just for future reference, you couldn't have been more wrong.

[@minerkileh]

In WoW the in-game customer support is provided by GM's. This stands for Game Master's, they basically have access to all commands including tp, ban, so on and so forth. GM Island is an isolated piece of land wich is used by GM's to stay there, not be seen, and not have to constantly worry with the natural live server game world. Therefore, whenever they get a ticket request (Someone asking for help) they can respond from GM island and if they must, tp to the area of te player to investigate or complete the ticket. That's your answer :)

Imagine being a Blizzard Gamemaster, and banning some random player for managing to get to one of the most impossible to reach locations in the game. Hell I'd whisper to them "It's a secret to everyone" and teleport them out, maybe somewhere where there's high level elites that would one-shot them, then respond with "lol" and end the convo (that outdoor raid area in Winterspring comes to mind).

[@SeriousPlastiek]

He didn't get banned for being on GM island, he got banned for using a model editor to get there which is a serious offense(he was also insulting and trolling the GM). Model editors are programs that can be used to cheat the game and gain a massive unfair advantage over other players, hence being against the TOS. He was only temp banned for 3 days, whereas nowadays you get permabanned if you're caught using one. Also, GM's had to follow a strict code of conduct, they weren't allowed to punish players at their own discretion. If a specific rule was broken, there was a specific written down punishment that a GM had to dish out, whether they wanted to or not. In this case the player was caught using a model editor, which resulted in a 3 day temp ban. The GM didn't make the rule, they were just doing their job by enforcing it, and not enforcing it could have costed them their job.

They have to have a place for the GMs to be, that doesn't show up in regular server searches normally (like with /who all SoandSo) this way the GMs and Guides can be online and respond to petitions without being public. As for why players aren't allowed there is due to accessibility. If it's anything like Everquest GM zone, you have access to special "vendors" and what have you. And if you have random players going in and getting special items at will. (I used to be an EQ Guide LONG ago.)

Back when the island existed (pre-cataclysm) the island was a searchable place and would show up as any normal place would. You can also search for it specifically and find the people on the island. It was told to be used as the spot where GMs used to stand and work on tickets. I have yet to see any evidence of a GM actually standing on GM-island tho. GMs have the option to be invisible, so in real footage there may or may not have been a GM around. Many private servers had their hubs and vendors on GM-Island, however it was completely barren on live servers with what you see in the video. PS. sorry for reviving your 10 year old comment ;)

i remember the evening i was in the second landscape of burning crusade....with this high mushrooms....i was on my way to my dungeon group and then watched a gm in the game wandering around. i spoke with him rp-like, i prefered it at this time. it was a nice moment for me to talk with her so cute and nice with high intense and it cuts me in 2 pieces that i had to leave the female gm and went to my group. it was a nice time. you see, i remember again, 7-8 years later :)

I remember watching this video and having no clue what was so special about the island. I just remember thinking holy shit that's soo cool. I think I was 13? Damn crazy!

Greetings from 2019!

There was a huge gap of water between Teldrassil and GM Island (which was to the northwest) with a fatigue bar. You can't regenerate mana when fatigued so you'd have to stock up on mana potions for healing spells since health potions have a cooldown and if you have water walk, food/bandages won't heal fast enough. Now it's in a different instance or phase and going near GM Island will not trigger the loading sequence (same goes for different continents that you need a zeppelin/ship to get to).

Hello from KZbin 2022. What a master piece

[@MoneyHoneyBunny]

Would be so worth the ban to just make an alt account and record a video back in the day. This guys a legend

[@GodkinGaming]

i was wondering what is this absolute mad lad is doing now...

[@Patchychan]

@Assilidor The GM Island is in kalimdor. Darnassus is in kalimdor. No loading screen required. Nub

[@fredlup607]

Here we go, KZbin recommended me this masterpiece once again 🤣❤️

[@pizzaguy8475]

dude back in the day when i spent my time smoking weed, eating pizza, shit posting 4chan, and grinding this game when i should have been studying for mid terms. Those were the days man...

[@Xubjekt]

you are slightly unintelligent in this video lol

[@paulinjuan360]

I wonder sometimes how long these videos will be kept by KZbin cloud servers before they decide to get rid of them. Case in point look at what happened to machinima.

[@mauro2k182]

12 years later still in my recommended

[@bakuya99]

Protip make friend's with the GM's xD and then you can go to places like that or at least not get banned.

[@alfafebrian8898]

That one time when GM cares about their game.

[@twintyara6330]

Pinnacle of video making 10/10 perfection

[@estantaya]

[@Rhapsheet]

STEVE DEATHGUN 10 years later

[@LYDtheking]

99 years later lol

[@DeusVultTKD]

11 years later..

[@notyourdaughter666]

it’s so wild to think that i’m literally only a few months older than this game. videos like this really put it into perspective for me

[@Prebound_]

I'd rather be in your shoes... I was 28!

[@cherrywaveess]

I was 7 when I first saw this video, times flies.. ;-;

[@grimspound7981]

Back when GM’s were a part of the game culture. Now… Urgh.

[@KNByam]

These are the parts of rhe game that made me fell in love with wow. The little haxx and quirks made the game fun.

[@shadesofmist9214]

little haxx omg ... he found a way to go gm island , that has nothing to do with haxx , its skill

[@betaraybelle8249]

They need a Hogwarts charm on GM Island that opens your quest log to remind you of all the things you still need to do when you start getting near it. :)

[@grom8cs]

Dunno if you'll ever read this, but I saved your original music from 2007 that you once had on this video. Still awesome!

[@grom8cs]

Back in the old days of youtube, were no one knew wtf copyright was! Still good though!

[@martinjuriga9454]

Mat W Can you upload music from 2007? :) pls i cant find

[@grom8cs]

Sure, I can add it to my channel tonight when I'm back from work. - I'll let you know when it's done.

[@martinjuriga9454]

thanks :)

[@NiklasAdv]

Mat W Faith in humanity restored! Well done friend! Taking your time for something trivial as an old youtube video is awesome!

[@chrissy93x]

This is a classic video of when WoW use to be good, enjoyable and GM's use to appear / interact in front of people This video aged like fine wine the fact he used GameCam or Fraps etc to record potato quality lol recording anything way back in 2005 - 2007 was nightmare however given the quality of the video it has charm

[@akoww1000]

Nice, reminds me when I figured out how to get out of the starting zone for goblin before doing all the quest LOL with in mins of landing in the graveyard I got a message from a gm . after a few mins of talking with him, he ask me how I did it "was a first for him to see someone do it" and ask me not to share how I did it because you have to use an exploit to do it. all closed off areas like the goblin starting zones pretty much have a way out and in..even the new GM island LOL

[@Crysis1334]

For me it's just so fascinating, you know? On a game played by millions of people, you and only a couple thousand others or something have stepped foot around there. I don't even play this game and i think it's just so fucking interesting.

[@OGshogun444]

You can tell this was during the golden years of WoW simply from the background music. That Early 2000's Techno was everywhere man haha
