[QUOTE=BlackKnight] 4) Attempt to get into Mount Hyjal. Turns out, this _is_ possible. [/QUOTE] You used to be able to die and rez on the other side of the portal. I have screenshots, but there really isn’t anything there yet. The area looks a little Hinterlands-ish and there is an enormous canyon and of course, the World Tree - you can see the demon trapped in it. There were no buildings or anything else the last time I saw it. ---

Yeah, still no buildings. (I was there just the other night.) The lake that the tree is growing from is _deep_. I think that if I hadn’t used my Druid’s Aquatic Form I would have drown before I got to the bottom. Not that there’s anything interesting at the bottom, but I like to explore. The best part is the “Blizzard Construction Co.” signs though. 😃 I also got to that area behind Stonetalon Peak. You can see it on one of the flightpaths. There’s a very unfinished-looking area of flat brownness, plus an area with a little hut. Next I’m going to attempt to sneak into the Caverns of Time, which is apparantly possible. ---

[QUOTE=BlackKnight] Next I’m going to attempt to sneak into the Caverns of Time, which is apparantly possible. [/QUOTE] I’m not sure so don’t quote me on this, but I think it was possible to get into the taverns by dying next to the door, ghosting through and ressing on the other side. I also think that’s been fixed. However, if you can’t get through, look me up. My roommates got in once and I’ve still got the screenies 😃 Looks rather like Memoria from FFIX. ---

[QUOTE=BlackKnight] Yeah, still no buildings. (I was there just the other night.) The lake that the tree is growing from is _deep_. [/QUOTE] I think the water must be new then. When I was there, it was just an enormous hole in the ground. If you don’t mind telling me, how did you get back in? I haven’t tried again since I heard they added some big rock that blocks the entrance. ---
