great write-up! pretty cool that you were able to stumble upon that unfinished area. will you be able to get back to this area at any time or was it a one-time deal?

That's really interesting. Do you think this region of the map is being developed for future use? Perhaps it's backdrop (mountains and such) that only is meant to be viewed from a distance.

It would be interesting to see if this glitch is repeatable. Perhaps a number of people could 'fall' off the board and go on a little camping trip in the hills.

I looked this up, and it is eventually going to be a huge instance, but not for quite awhile, and is currently under development. I MIGHT be able to repeat this, could try it out...I'll keep ya updated.

Hey everyone. We haven't officially launched, but what the hell, come on in!

This site is all about user contribution. Your cool story could be right here getting hackadayed too. Make a free account and write an article of your own, post pictures, or vote on your favorite posts.

This used to happen a lot in Alpha and Beta. They didn't purposely build "walls" -- I believe it's just part of the architecture of the game. As you know in WoW there is a vertical variance in the game, you could be high on a hill then have to walk down. Or you can be at "ground level" then swim down into a lake.

The "walls" are really just because you have been put in a place that is at a different level... and due to lack of content there, they appear sheer.

As long as you've reported the incident they shouldn't get you for "exploiting" etc.

It's pretty fun to be "outside" of the world eh? :)

I've been here before. You can walk up a ridge in southeastern most Silithus, through the corner, and down into where those screens are.

There are many areas like this. i've personally seen this before as well. There is a way a gnome can fall "off" stormwind and land on the ground. From there, you can walk all the way east to an incomplete area. There's also this interesting croc that just floats there...

Try to find it ;D

The place in southern silithis called Ahn Qiraj, its the home of the silithids and their masters. An unfinished area as you see, that houses at least 1 instance somewhere. there are many more unfinished areas like it around the world.

I believe that you however were simply in the random land that makes up the borders between zones. It's all over the place. pity you couldn't have seen the temples and the hives in Ahnqiraj...

Blizzard wont delete the account for entering the non-complete zone.. However we all sign a contract with every update. The pictures may be bland enough to save the account but the posting it on the web, and getting noticed is a receipe for an example to be made.

Good luck I hope you are online after blizzard catches on of this site :P (don't get me wrong, if it happened to me I would do the same!

You guys think this is cool, check out:

Enjoy.

For the HORDE!

I know this comment is late to the game but I recently played on a private server in which we were given flying mounts on Azeroth, and I went to this area because I had read about it here - and I saw that broken unfinished wall area you posted pics of, but also more centrally under the AQ instances, there is a completely finished nice outdoor ruins area. It's crazy. A shame that so many places have things like that and they are never used.
