Honestly this guy doesn't know the first thing about WoW. A lot of things were added to fly over in flight paths. He said the dancing troll village was for horde, but those trolls aren't even part of the Horde until Cata and he obviously didn't know it was added so flight paths weren't empty fly bys.

[@CHEpachilo]

#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

[@thepunisher6231]

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.

[@TormentoftheWeek]

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.

[@Vibingroovy]

And then a gnone mage descends from the mountain at lighting speeds. Iceblocks before he hits the ground, and continues to massacre the entire village over and over.

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.

[@John_Conner222]

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.

[@nakfoor1846]

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.

South seas islands was initially for questing as ghost back in vanilla. Blizzard had plans back then to add additional "zones", or partly from the zone to be as ghost and quest there, but they rushed the release and didn't make it to the final cut. Also they had plans to add a whole new pirate zone where you quest only as pirate and be part of the bloodsail faction (if you wanted), however, they did the cheap version and implemented only partially Bloodsail in Booty Bay. Blizzard had a lot of ideas that didn't make it into the game hence why you see all this unexplanable things around the world.

[@Mmmm_tea]

[@Lucy-dk5cz]

tenkowal this is correct. This video contains many in accuracies ....he’s bad

[@mooney3350]

Yep, I remembered this place precisely because of this. Also found it a nice touch of Blizzard to include these trolls (Shatterspear tribe) in the Battle of Darkshore in BFA, finding the horde a work-around to flank the Night Elves. In story it's described as some smuggler path from Felwood to the Trolls, and later in Darkshore you'll find Shatterspear encampment in the north part of the Darkshore, since they moved in with the help of the Horde.

[@AestheticMonk]

I checked out retail the week before classic released and the troll village is now accessible by land and are at war with the Night Elves. Something tunneled through the mountain and through their village.

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.

[@Draknfyre]

"Out of bounds areas" - Southseas Island. Well, someone didn't know vanilla. Those islands are part of the AQ opening event questline, and are meant to be way out there. Once AQ and the quest chain gets implemented, you'll find out how to get there normally. The various islands are still in the game and they still use in-game areas to test things, but they're no longer on the world map but instanced off, making them impossible to exploit to normally. Blizzard has said the initials in Orgrimmar aren't meant to be Michael Koiter's. His memorial is in the Barrens ontop of a hill at the Shrine of the Warrior. It still exists in the retail game today.

There is actually an out of bounds area that wasn't mentioned, and it's deep under water, south of Tanaris I believe? It's an area with gnome architecture and such but it's all the way down at the bottom of the sea and I *think* in fatigue territory so it is unlikely people would come across it.

#1. It has been over a decade since I've played, but I remember randomly seeing that place in the distance and getting there by using water-walking with a mount and since I was a Druid, I could use Seal Form to swim the rest of the way before running out of either health or fatigue (can't remember). I felt so cool being one of the only people to make it there lol. #4.

That's what I thought, when they first said, that they will relaunch classic. They could do it all again, but with stuff they could not add because of the lack of resources or lack of time. I mean, they could still do it. I think it's possible that Blizzard could drop retail, if the player numbers remain really high and tries to get it right this time, like a WoW 2.0. But many of the old Blizzard crew/team are gone, so I don't know if this could be better. I would not like if they go back to the beginning because I love the lore and characters, but this could make WoW great again for everyone. :) Sorry for the bad grammar, my native language is german. :D

@7:45 I dont play WoW anymore, but I can tell you that around the time this video was uploaded to youtube you could still access the room. I used to visit it regularly. 1: You need to be on top of the wall between the drag and the valley of honor (where the training dummys are) 2: Go to the south end of the wall where it clips into the rock outcroppings and wedge yourself in there as far as you can go. 3: Youll need a little timing here. you want to mount up on your travelers mammoth, Gromgol whatever... any of the very tall mounts have worked for me, and as soon as your mount appears youll need to ALT-F4 (not trolling). this is kicking you from the game before the proximity to the rocks dismounts you automatically. 4: When you log back in youll be on the other side of the rock texture looking out at everyone. Now mount up on a flying mount, youll need to fly downwards and get as low to the ground as you can, as youre clipping yourself under the drag. Youll head towards the rock pillar. 5: once youre under the rock pillar carefully fly vertically making sure to keep yourself inside the pillar. Once you get close to the top of the pillar it actually puts you into the textured tunnel and then the room at the top. FYI: once youre done checking out the room, you can get back on your mount and drop slightly back into the tunnel and youll be able to clip out through the rock texture back into the normal map, you dont have to waste your hearth.

A priest I knew took me to the hidden troll village, and he had to rez me after jumping down. lol He was a druid so could fly on down, where being a hunter - kasplat. Spent a half hour just checking it all out. That pillar in Org ... I've often sat atop of and wondered why it was ever there. Now we know.

6. The Kharazan Crypts (under Kharazan) 7. The old Iron Forge (under Iron Forge) 8. The hidden dwarven farm (southeast of Arathi Highlands) 9. Ironforge Airport and several more secret zones...

[@Anudorini-Talah]

yea go list the several more secret zones.....

[@daviddesgagne]

@@Anudorini-Talah I've done my part. Do your research. :D

[@michaeldariopellittieri3050]

To tell everyone who dosnt know that island in tanaris, was the original GM island but was considered to easy to get to, so they replaced it with the one in top of kildamore until making it a separate zone all together.

[@xVioletPinkx]

back in vanilla you could swim northeast around the coastline from Tirisfal and there was an unfinished area with some early elven structures. Pretty sure they put up an invisible barrier in BC before removing it entirely in Cata.

[@Slamdoxicalz]

I always see the troll village flying from Moonglade to Ruth'eran Village as Alliance.

[@Dhalin]

Yeah, before Cataclysm, I always assumed the village was only there for scenery while on a flight path so that you're not waiting 5 minutes looking at featureless mountains the whole time. If you get up on the mountains, such as the ones between Duskwood and STV, you'll notice that a LOT of them are featureless and flat and barely textured, except for little pockets that are suddenly more textured and have more contours; those are where flight paths were designed to fly over.

[@Fare443]

You can see the trollvillage from one of the flightpoints . Not sure which on but i think blizzard it was one of the things they put their to have something to look at on flights

[@bookcadenb4584]

Moonglade > TB as a Horde, flies directly over it.

[@etherealpenguin8683]

I doubt they'd spend resources just to make an area you'd look at for 5-10 seconds as you're flying over it, not to mention some of the NPCs have unique names which would be pointless to do, it's cut content.

[@Fare443]

@@etherealpenguin8683 well you never know what people think and sometimes you just do stuff and there is no real meaning behind it

[@etherealpenguin8683]

@@Fare443 Yes but it was someone's job to make that, a company paid someone for that work, it'd be illogical from a business standpoint for them to spend hours of a environment creators time just to build something that people would briefly fly over and not get a good look at, it obviously had purpose at some point but was scrapped but they decided to keep the area there, it's also far too big to be an "easter egg" of sorts that someone did as a side project

[@Takayama-sama]

I’ve been to the WKM room with some members of my guild. At first I took a kinda yeah we found it cheering screenshot with it, but after finding out it was a memorial of sorts we took we took a more solemn respectful screenshot with it.

[@flame4864]

#4 on the list actually made it into Cataclysm. Deathwing destroyed the mountains separating the trolls and the night elves, and Garrosh recruited them into the Horde. Darkshore questing involves killing them. They're called the Shatterspear Tribe.

[@Endarire]

Hyjal's raid was available in Burning Crusade -only- as a Caverns of Time raid. The zone still wasn't ready yet.

[@user-lydia698]

There is a Darkskshore questline that takes you to the dancing Troll village. It's a low-level quest for ppl who are leveling NElves, usually.

[@GabrielP]

Back before capturing your gameplay was an easy enough thing, I remember playing in "Vanilla" WoW and I was a Mage at the gate to Hyjal. I tried blinking in, and it worked! There was even a Gate to what at the time was listed as the Timeless Cavern, it looked like just space in a cave I wish there was a way to share the image from my brain so that others could know exactly what I mean.

[@lubbiz]

You can probably log onto a private server with the old files, and do it again XD

[@JackofBlades92]

Best out of bounds WoW video I've seen in months so thank you. But I must also mention that I think everybody and their dog knows about the WKM room :P

[@charliepayne9378]

That first island is where me and my guild to go have our duel tourneys. Best way is with a RDruid and doesn't hurt to have a lock to summon

[@foxtroth1]

Good ol times, reminds me of Nogg-aholic the Movie. many secret places, wall climbing and exploring, the best past time when waiting on bg's or raids/instances

[@kgrubb9398]

I loved exploring Hyjal back in Vanilla.

[@adgrimes1981]

There was another way to get into Hyjal back in vanilla WoW, via the instance entrance somewhere in Winterspring iirc. I got in that way years ago.

[@emgex]

The south sea isle is part of the door opening of ahn qiraj quest.

[@pengu7734]

the dancing troll village is just an aestetic place like the ironforge airplane landing spot, u fly over it when ur fly from or to Bloodvenom post.

[@blinkmuch]

Its possible still 7:23 you use a mammoth mount or the mog yak while running into a corner unmounted, You start mount up the yak RIGHT before its done summoning mount press alt+f4 and log back in and you will be mounted up and able to jump thru the wall and you will need to find the location where the stone is and fly up and there you are inside the room.

[@Kyth1988]

Back in 2005-2007 in classic i spend a lot of days to discover some hidden places.

[@YuyuHakurei]

The WKM pillar was not always in a pillar. In the original maps before the cata redesign it was a memorial you could visit somewhere in the Barrens. It was on a Cliffside inside of a cave. It seems they tried to move it over, but lost it because it got stuck inside of the map. The new maps are a long distance away from where the originals were. So anything notable needed to be cut and pasted over. A lot of things were just flat out deleted though. I believe who it was for is right though.

[@nancystanton955]

In vanilla WoW you passed over the dancing troll village when using the flightpath to Auberdine, Darkshore. I always looked down on it and wondered how to get in. Then in Cataclysm it was used for a quest on the Alliance side.

[@nancystanton955]

Meant to say flightpath from Moonglade to Auberdine.

[@jamescampbell720]

Vaulty, I dont know if Fatigue and stats are the same as they were in oldschool WoW, but Fatigue was originally designed as a percentage tick of your total HP. Back in BC if you rolled a fresh level 1 blood elf priest, their starting Stam was low and they had the highest starting INT stat. a single lesser heal would heal their entire healthbar. With the help of a few friends and a warlock summon, they could summon you to anywhere on a coast, and you could strip all your clothes and swim out into the water as long as you wanted. It was a pain in the ass because swimming was slow with the need to heal so often, but the lesser heal on a level 1-3 player could full heal, and spirit regen ensured you never ran OOM if you were doing it right. This allowed me to hit the southshore islands, and also discovered Gilliejim's Isle map zone back in BC.

[@foster4391]

The "dancing troll village" is actually also in Darkshore, and the tunnel is a hideout for a troll npc for a questline.

[@manemperorofmankind8119]

Pretty sure that troll village is part of a dark shore questline where you attack a horde base (the troll village) and can be accessed through a tunnel near the top of dark shore

[@the1Skyseer]

oh god! Actually man is actually back!
