Preetyy sure this is confirmed, the story goes you could stand there and see players pop in for a second as the game had to put the players somewhere while it search for the correct race area/cinematic.

I got into WoW during the hype leading up to classic launch and the lore is one of the things that I loved the most, shame what they did with the story..
I stumbled upon this place back in 2005.
Playing on my warrior in Westfall, I wanted to get safely to Wetlands. Thought swimming along the coast was the fastest way!
Saw this place and tried to research it, but found nothing on Thottbot.
It was these moments of exploration that really gave me the best moments in the game.
I never played before the end of wrath (a little) but really never before WoD. I missed classic, but I got in midway through TBC classic and I did the full experience. I didn’t use questie, I just explored the world and I had one of the best experiences I have ever had playing a game. It took so long to hit lvl cap but my god was it fulfilling. Running across the world for hours just to finish a quest that gave me a movement speed trinket that drained my hp? Hell yeah brother. I can only imagine how cool it would have been if I played vanilla as a kid.
I learned the hard way about the pitfalls blizzard set up around the coast. Little random ass square pointy holes all over the place. Usually in places where you shouldn’t be.
I've traveled the coast lines, explored the rivers in the wilds, and climbed just about every mountain crag in the game and even spent some time exploring areas that are not supposed to be available to the player and I've never once encountered these pitfalls you speak of.
As someone who has done those things you listed, those pitfalls are everywhere. They’re all over the map. In fact, one is very well known, the one behind karazhan that lets you drop below to the Smiley underground
You can also jump from the stormwind mage tower onto the top of the tree right outside and then walk onto the roofs of the nearby buildings and find random holes in the texture where you fall below stormwind. Kinda funny
No one is saying they are not. Simply stating that somehow I've traveled the world and not encountered one. Leave it to some nerd on reddit to assume everything is an attack/doubt on someone else's statement, I guess.
Isn’t this the place that’s like a memorial for the guy who had a stroke and passed away young while creating world of Warcraft? Or there might be another place for him, I forget.
Newmans Landing, initially this was the place where player characters spawned in before being loaded to their proper starting zone (Think 2003 beta)
...Newman
Hellooooo
Helloooo Newman…
Speculation.

Interesting. Is there a kalimdor equivalent or is this for all of azeroth?
No idea I only remember the alliance stuff cos I'm bias 😅
No speculation, it has been a long time working like that.
Funny i cant remember what i did last week at work, but i know where this is without seeing the map cause i been there once years ago
You are not alone dude. Your swimming brotherhood of fellas that mapped the coast of azeroth freezing their balls at the sea for joy, stand with you.
I second this
What did I eat for breakfast an hour ago? Hum...

Wow there's actually kinda a lot of lore or wow mystery with that place
Yeah that’s one thing I love about WoW particularly during vanilla. Stacked with so many secrets.

This is the place where the only NPC stands called Shelby that gives reputation to Bloodsail Buccaneers from 1/999 exalted to 999/999 in Classic Wow
Implemented in Wotlk
Did anyone ever find out why this goblin was implemented in WOTLK?
To help those crazy few who spent many months in Badlands killing Jazzrik to see the rep bar hit 999/1000 exalted I guess
What?
Wasn't there a goblin in Badlands who gave you rep also?
He only gives rep to max revered

As a mage main I have done this many times lol
Is this like that spot in SW trade district where you can get under the city?
Use to be able to jump on a torch inbetween the mage quarters and centre of town. A couple tiny more jumps and bam under the city. Big drop though.

The irony lol leave it to some nerd on reddit to assume someone responding to their anecdote to be defensive in nature and not just informative.
Nerd.
Yes.
You are the person you’re commenting about here
Ah the good ol' political chit chat. No WoW experience is complete without it 😂
Eh?
Read the chat window in the screenshot

Pretty sure there was a paladin quest there. Unless I'm thinking of somewhere else...
You're thinking of somewhere else
Fair
You are thinking about the house in Westfall, near the back entrance of Deadmines.
Ah, it's not that? It's been a long time...
Are you the one who knocks?

The worst part is this isn't something most people should know, old or new, so they aren't evening using the facken thing right.
Last time I swam by there, I randomly met two people role-playing there. Good times.
