Zone ideas

From WoWWiki

This article or section needs to be cleaned up to a higher standard of quality. *This may include editing to correct spelling and grammar, rewriting sections to ensure they are clear and concise, and wikifying. Reason: Poor grammer, and many other things

This article or section is a miscellaneous stub. You can help expand it by editing it. If appropriate, you might want to import some information from a database site - see Fansites for listings. Pages linking here may have clues as to what the page should contain, or perhaps the discussion page.

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore!

There are many closed off zones on Azeroth, but what if they were to be opened? Purpose of this page is to create a fact-based speculation, similar to the Future race ideas page.

Qualification factors

If you think something on this page is inaccurate, please check the discussion tab before you change it yourself. Let people know you think it is incorrect, and leave your ideas and sources for your information. Together, we can agree on how feasible it is. Only add verifiable and cited information. Please use your common sense.

Again, it is mandatory that this page only be edited after changes are discussed through peer review here and agreed upon by group consensus. Please discuss ideas on the talk page if you feel there should be changes to the main article, so the page does not become a battle field for clashing ideas. If you do not follow the above, you may be prevented from editing.

Dragon Isles

? Not much known about this place, they (or one of them) may be home of one of the dragonflights.

? Group of adventures planned to build a device to raise Nazjatar to the surface of the ocean in RPG book Shadows & Light. If they managed, it may have become the island in the concept art (see above).

Similarity to the dead old god in Master's Glaive hints too to nagas, since they were allies of Old Gods, who were behind their new form

? May appear in Sea expansion.

- Only a concept art so far.

Gilneas

? One of the developers admitted that they have forgotten about Gilneas. Now, when reminded of it, they might do something with it.

? Nobody knows what has happened inside Gilneas since the end of the Second War.

? Gilneas might have an new king that would open up Gilneas from its isolation.

There is however no proof to support this theory and the naga may have taken over Gilneas. Which then of course would make Gilneas a perfect dungeon/micro dungeon but would make it impossible for the king to reopen it unless Gilneas becomes like Stromgarde were the people of Gilneas control one part while the naga control the other. It would explain why Gilneas would ever reopen the Greymane Wall.

Hyjal

+Already, most of the area is designed.

+Possible as starting zone for several (yet) unplayable races, including furbolgs and dark trolls, or theater of new event.

Kul Tiras

Hi, man. Do you know where my nation have gone?

+Many NPCs in game seems to originate in Kul Tiras.

+Kul Tiras was said to survive both the Scourge and the Legion mostly untouched. Unless something bad happened after Admiral Daelin Proudmoore's departure, it might be large and powerful human nation.

Mac'Aree

You see that little white spot on the planet's surface? Yep, that's Mac'Aree

+At least one NPC from the zone

? It was said (though before the Sargeras/Eredar retcon) that Eredar had consumed their own homeworld, so Mac'Aree might no longer exist, as whole Argus.

? If we are to ever destroy the Legion in WoW, this city might be major stronghold of the Legion, as the capital of Argus, Eredar homeworld and probably man'ari headquarter.

Kezan

Well, we have at least something...

+Mentioned in early scraps as a continent.

+Established place in lore as Goblin capital.

? May fit good with the Great Sea expansion as a neutral capital, like Shattrath City or Dalaran. It is however unlikely that Blizzard would make a new zone just to create a new neutral city, Then of course they might add new monsters, quests, dungeons etc.

 ? That is, unless, they make Kezan instead of just Undermine.

? Kezan could feature new instances and quest lines, Black Dragonflight invading the isle and Deathwing in Mt. Kajaro, for example.

Emerald Dream

+The Emerald Dream has already been visited in WoW via hacks.
