Followup to that vanilla exploration I posted not too long ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1okIXSUeJ9U
I'm in an exploration mood, so will probably do more of that soon.

Again, just play Turtle WoW. It's way better than SoD or anything else Blizzard will ever put out.
Wild to think that I made that Magni meme nearly 5 years ago now and it's still getting referenced lmao
Penisula.
I absolutely love these videos, thank you for making and sharing these! I had no idea about Old Ironforge or how certain places were at one point intended to be raids. Thank you!
You still have remnant of the Timbermaw quest, the main one being of Donova Snowden where you can investigate the hot springs strange powers. The last quest ends on Donova promising to return to us with more infos on a book you find on the Winterfall Chief, but she never does. People have theorized that they might be demon under Hyjal corrupting the water and roots underground and that's why the furbolg are going apeshit in the region. The passage of Timbermaw could have served as the entrance of a dungeon which could give you access to Hyjal (these tunnels were apparently the ones used by Tyrande and Malfurion in W3, it could also be where Illidan's prison were originally), so there might be another entrance of the Hold.
Idk if you’ve done it already and I’m slacking but, glitching under stormwind back in the day got you into a weird spot you could walk around in?
Season of MadSeason, videos galore, good times. Just uploads themselves give nice nostalgia.
awesome!
One thing you forgot to mention about Quel'Thalas is that there's actually a little built part of the zone on the left side that you can explore by just swimming or water walking there. It looks kinda like a night elf village.
Wasn't there something in Desolace – remember how you could do the centaur reps that didn't lead to anything but he says to check back once you max it, something there would be cool, also there was some unfinished alliance quest here with the tower on the shore iirc
Blasted Lands – bottom left of map is the demon area
Badlands also had some dwarf architecture underground I thought
Tirisfal Glades – Secret place in western map, also was a Scarlet Crusade raid ever planned?
Winterspring – south part of map with elites was supposed to be something iirc
Ungoro Crater/Tanaris had some unfinished quest with the silithid that ended abruptly, and something with an ancient?
why cant blizzard just hire someone like you… as their lead direction
thank you for the intriguing vid
As a person who prides themselves of being a proper explorer of Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms who has visited in almost every nook and cranny of both of those massive maps.. I must ask myself…
HOW THE HELL did I miss that Furbolg Gate?!?! I've been walking on the walls all over Azshara and literally never paid any attention to that gate for some reason
Hey madseason. Been a viewer for years on multiple accounts, and I just wanna say that my nights are blessed when I hear that intro. Love seeing you in my feed bro. I hope life's going well for you.
I remember the times of glitching from the inside of one instance to another. I think you could see Karazhan coming from ZG or the other way round (I was long ago). I still haven'd given up on reaching Naxx 40 somehow in retail.
1:21, right next to Ulduar, there's The Maw. Yet another proof Zovaal was planned all the way back in the early 2000s. Bravo Blizzard.
Bring back memories. I used to waste time wondering around locked areas during vanilla. Once i event found something in the North of Eastern Kingdoms. It was weirdly unfinished untextured place. I assume it was future ghost land or Silvermoon. I was running on a mount from the coast and found some space to get pass.
You can only suck to Horde. Alliance dog
8:25 lmao 🤣
Not every idea they brainstormed was "meant to be in classic". I really don't understand the classic+ obsession. These areas were all added later so we got to see them anyway. I can't imagine how dull TBC and wrath classic would have been if they were constrained by vanilla gameplay design.
If anything, I think they should make something completely new and original when it comes to Classic+. Trying to do something the original developers had planned is like asking a cover band to write a follow up to a classic album that was recorded by the original band. With the tone and feeling I'm getting from the current (WoW) developers, I don't think there is any way they can follow the original concepts and not disappoint.
ps. great video as always, MadSeason!
LOOONGER
VIIIIIIDS
One thing I would love to see but they're unlikely to do is the old dragon isles, but since it's the latest expansion it would be a bad look if the old version is more popular than the retail version
It's weird that "no one knows that Classic+ is". For me it's pretty clear: You take Vanilla and add to it, without breaking the original design principles. In other words, it has to feel "classic". That's why there is the "classic" and the "+". If you just add to Vanilla with no regards to its design principles, it quickly ends up as retail 2.0. It wouldn't feel "classic" anymore. The more it differentiates itself from retail, the better, generally speaking.
There are actually more unused zone areas in eastern kingdoms two are both east and west of the Burning steppes, Aswell as one to the east of loch modan and wetlands
So much love for these videos man. Your content has a special place in my heart and memories…man do I miss the days of 2007-10, WoW has changed a lot but it’s still the best game I’ve ever played.
It’s safe to say that modern blizzard developers lack the talent to ever pull off something close to the vision the original devs had. A really nice video and it’s so cool to see what the devs had in store, but the people currently at the wheel lack even 1/10th of the vision and motivation to ever bring these ideas to light. Still, enjoyed the video and thanks for chronicling it as you have 🙂
Great video mad, thx.
10:56 – who is that sexy man?!
More FF7 music 🤤
I love ur videos pls more <3
Any one knows what was the plan with Dun Garok in Hilsbrad?
Great content as always 👍
SoD has lots of potential, i could see it or the next seasonal having a classic+ theme. Devs kinda dropped the ball on p4 though, with nightmare incursions and such. But the biggest blow to current SoD numbers is probably MoP remix, S4 retail, D4 S4 and cata classic 😂
And helldivers2 😂
random power rangers tangent wat xD
Dude the music at the start brought back some memories. I'm not even positive as its been probably 20 years but it made me think of age of empires.
One of my favorite out of bounds spots is the one in orgrimmar. Small little room inside one of the rock pillars in the city. Still there. You can use a mammoth mount somewhere to clip out of bounds and then fly to it. It's such a small little relaxing room. But it's one I've only been to once because I wouldn't wanna increase my chances to get banned just sitting there. Even if it's harmless. Wow moderation now will probably get you banned for sneezing yourself out of bounds. No fun allowed.
I just remembered I used to have a "power rangers: the movie" game for the sega gamegear when I was a little kid. The music towards the end of the video brought back a core memory I had completely forgotten about.
Am I tripping or do I clearly remember reaching the "Old Outland" area by falling through Stormwind and running over there?
Exploration was my favorite part of vanilla actually, especially breaking into those special areas like above Orgrimmar and the gnome runway
omg how good it could’ve been.
really hope for a classic+
come on…I wanna nerd one more time before I have kids😂😂
I sure hope Madseason finds way to bitch about the wow token more in this video I really like it when he keeps bitching about it.
There will never be classic plus. If you want new content. Play retail. Blizz will NEVER put money into making classic more beyond the base game. You will see more season of discovery but no increase level cap or new zones.
I find it so interesting how much there was, is, and could have been in this epic game saga.
