Have you ever been to Gilneas as a Horde character?
You are probably the first person to ever kill that Banker NPC.
Something I LOVED was exploring half baked zones that never made into the game such as the dancing troll village or that island at tanaris sea and underwater town. Then with flying mounts I thought that it wasnt possible to find such zones, that everything was reachable, so thanks very much for re-discovering to me that kind of wow magic ☺️
FOR THE RECORD, KOROTH THE BOSS the boss on that bannered hill is an OGRE,, MORE would meet you on the way up!
21:12 This would be an AMAZING place to have a private wedding ceremony. No way any random trolls would be able to crash your gathering in a zone that no one should be in!
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE GILNEAS!! Only reason i rolled a worgen. (and now shes my main)
the submarine and alliance vessels are actually there for a horde questline for the zone outside of gilneas.
Fun fact : I just tried this with my worgen rogue and while i HAVE been teleported back into the questline version of Gilneas, i wasn't teleported into the same VERSION of questline Gilneas as the video. There definitely is a hidden character "quest completion" check to see which version of the zone you get transported to if you release spirit "within" that little blip ontop of the tower.
30:30 there is a player at the ship btw
Have you never been out of bounds before?
I've done this a few times too!
If you manage to clip back into Gilneas city, all the NPCs are there because the zone we bug ourselves into is just the Worgen Starter zone, which changes and phases more npcs elsewhere as you progress through the quests.
If you go to where the worgen characters spawn in, Liam Greymane will be there spouting "Stand ready guards!"
The submarine was actually added in kind of recently – it's weird, but it's not there at any point in the starting zone. Probably an easter egg.
What I would really like to see is if those islands you see off the coast of Exile's Reach are actually physical or just 2d graphics?
From my understanding, there has been absolutely NO information as to why there's a gnomish submarine in Gilneas. My only assumption is that they were initially using the gnome's experience with the plague that caused leppers as a basis for them to clean up Sylvanas's plague.
great content
Hm. Several years ago, I escaped Gilneas and wandered into a broken and shattered version of Alterac as a Gilneas Human. (And made a video of it.) Now, you've broken into Gilneas as a Demon Hunter. That's… pretty darn cool, not gonna lie.
33:00 I think I swam to these ships as wargen, and as I recall if you swam beyond them your screen will be hidden by fog xD
from my memory of doing this back when this trick was discovered around WoD, the closest spirit healer is the one at the Gilneas cemetary area. still a long trek but not as long of a trek you took to get into the city itself.. also requires zero jumping over anything or needing to be a DH to get over things the average other player class cant.
at 7:45 you can see the window above the door you enter is actually opened, as you get close to it, it closes
Has anyone tried if you can soar there as an evoker?
I just did this and took a screenshot of level one alliance players with my dh
never tried retail, almost makes me wanna.
There is also a spirit healer at Aderic's Repose at 50.28.56.06 for those that don't want to run into the city
Very cool. To make Gilneas virtually unplayable is stupid. There is a dungeon there and the opening to Worgen toons. Then it is obsolete.
little late to the party, but honestly the best race/class to do this on is Demon Hunter (either Night Elf or Blood Elf) because you can double jump parkour over the invisible walls. tried doing it on my Dracthyr, and ended up finding a spirit healer outside Gilneas City (only to be taken back to Duskhaven)
Edit: OMG IM FUCKING STUPID, I FORGOT THERES A PATH TO TAKE FROM THE CITY TO THE GRAVEYARD THATS STILL OPEN. JUST USE THAT TO TALK WITH THE SPIRIT HEALER INSIDE THE CIY
You can get around the wall in the top left of the map, if you swim towards the lighthouse you get around the invisible wall
It has been around since cataclysm
turtle wow > retail
Croc – o – lisk lol
WTF is a Croclosilk…
22:27 Interesting thing. I explored Gilneas on a Classic server, and the map lies. The thing jutting out into the sea is just ocean. Gilneas past the gate is just a big enclosed area. Cataclysm Gilneas is the best interpretation of Gilneas we have yet.
the legendary rogue quest takes you to gilneas, annnd back in legion on RP servers people used to roleplay all around Gilneas and you can access all of the zone with a flying mount.
The only thing i liked about this place during Cata was getting a "good boy" pet.
When I try breaking in to gilneas on a worgen that didn't go through the starting experience, it puts me in a version of gilneas where the phasing is all messed up and the earthquakes have already happened despite the quests not being done yet. Do you have any idea what is causing this? My ultimate goal would be to play through the starting zone as a worgen that went through exile's reach (or a class trial/boosted character). The quests show up on my map but when I go there are no NPCs except for the one for "Endgame."
Yes they are oranges, old low poly oranges
I think the glitched part of the map is where you use the machine and kill a bunch of horde soldiers and leave to the night elf place.
This is so neat. ^.^ I've heard of players creating worgen and doing a swim-skip out of the zone to quest elsewhere at level 1 (or thereabout). So for the people who commented here that worgen start in the final phase of the zone when they explore this as you have, I'm wondering – if a person had done the swim-skip and then returned to this version of the zone, it seems (logically) then they would be in the same zone version as any other race which hadn't originally quested here. Has anyone tried that??
Reminds me of back in Wrath being able to get inside the DK starter zone as a non-DK
