Thousand Needles is a huge flooded canyon in Southern Kalimdor, filled with towering mesas. In the east, the canyon opens up to what was once the Shimmering Flats, where Fizzle and Pozzik’s Speedbarge is located. Prior to the Cataclysm, the area was fairly peaceful for a contested territory and was considered to have its own harsh beauty. However, the entire zone was flooded in the Shattering and is now in turmoil.
Many residents, such as the centaur clans, have been wiped out entirely. The iconic Great Lift has been destroyed, while the Alliance outpost of Thalanaar on the Feralas border has been flooded and its residents moved to higher ground. Meanwhile the Southsea Pirates have gained a foothold in Southsea Holdfast, and the Twilight’s Hammer cult controls several areas formerly of little interest or inaccessible altogether. The Horde forces of Freewind Post and the new Westreach Summit are now in a struggle for survival.
Even after the Shattering, most of the towering spires have camps, sometimes even entire towns built on them. The twisting rock tower needles were cut and sharpened over centuries by water.

I've been stalling a bit because I had issues with my tools and because I am sick. I'll try to recover and publish a bit faster, but I can't guarantee much. Apologies.
Regarding this zone, back in Cataclysm, I felt the same as when Darkshore was destroyed. I felt hopeless and I couldn't find joy in leveling here.

First 😅
Long time since I was in thousand needles 🙂
Get well soon
Oh wow, thanks again meisio!
A horde zone mostly but i like the short time spent there as an ally.
NICE
Nice video Meisio as always, i feel the same with this zone after you had played it in vanilla you cant play it after cataclysm with a good feel. But the music is still great so thanks for bring it.
Thanks Mei 😉
Woah, so many..
Thanks Meisio! I appreciate all your videos.. past, present, and future!
I don’t think I ever leveled in Thousand Needles after cataclysm hit, but the music and vibes make me want to level up a new character to fully explore it.
Beautiful video as always ❤
have a good rest and get well soon😊
Ahhh, nice ^_^
Awesome so peaceful. So many great memories gaming with my brother.
There’s a certain charm to this vast place being filled up with water. The goblin/gnome isles are the best.
Nice! Used to quest here until WoD was the best place to quest in retail. Someday back to classic though
Nice, my background music while working today
Nice music as always. But i really don't like what the Cataclysm did to this zone!
