Cataclysm islands (don't get your hopes up)

[King Protos]

So just like before WotLK came out, if you zoom out of the map all the way, you can see some islands that will be added in the next expansion. For WotLK you could see Northrend, and now with Cataclysm you can see... I have no idea what they are called but they are islands that don't show up when you click on Azeroth.



PRETTY COOL RIGHT? I was shitted my pants over this.
EDIT: Not sure if they were there from before WotLK as well... But I don't remember. There. Just in case it was in before WotLK, then I totally said it before anyone else posted flame comments saying that I'm teh stupid for not noticing it before or remembering it, and I get to keep my ego.

They have pretty much always been there just never named.

i hope they do something with the maelstrom, that would just be awesome to have a big whirlpool dungeon

[Norrin]

Thats for another expansion.

I think those were supposed to be northrend islands in tbc.

[Norrin]

Northrend is the big white continent you see above it.. But actually now that you mention Northrend these could actually just be the Isle of Conquest and Strand of the Ancients.

They were planned to be there in WC3, I believe. I remember seeing pictures far back as then. Only cataclysm islands we've been told we're gonna see are Undermine(south of Maelstrom, center), the Lost Isles(2 islands just east of Azshara), and Tol Barad (a tiny island just west of Gilneas). I don't know if they will ever be implemented, though.

i cant wait till cataclysm its gonna be soo cool

[King Protos]

I really hope they update the zoomed-out world view. Look at how Northrend looks, and how the western tip is BETWEEN Darn and Kalimdor. They could have just zoomed out a bit and had it normal.

Know your lore, guys. Look up "Broken Isles" on WoWWiki

Wrong. The Broken Isles are a mysterious chain of islands, raised up from the seafloor by Gul'dan, which are located south of the raging Maelstrom.

These Islands can be found West off the coast of Westfall. (Not currently ingame)
Its where the Tomb of Sargeras can be found aswell!

[ximen]

On this map you see the Lost Isles, Tol Barad, Plunder Isle, Kezan, Isle of Quel'Danas, Tel Abim, Kul'Tiras, Crestfall, Zul'dare and so on..

[Norrin]

Still no clue what those islands are tho since the Lost Isles are off the coast of Azshara.

[Naralesca]

Not sure what those islands are, but I do know they were on the ingame world map prior to Wrath of the Lich King, although they've never actually existed ingame.

[stoneblade]

Is it anywhere near possible that those islands are the ones containing the tomb of sargeras?
