Revaniter 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Hey This is more like a question to the staff. Can I be banned for exploring zones such as Quel'Thalas, Mount Hyjal, Old Outland or Old Ironforge? I remember exploring them on retail, never got any ban or something. It was always quite a fun for me to check them ^^ Wonder if there are any other players who liked it as well. Especially Quel'Thalas and Old Outland.

Shapeshift 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2017 Personally I don't think that you should go to a closed zone, since it's closed for a reason. Not sure if it's bannable on Elysium, but I remember that you would get teleported to one of the cities if you got caught going to a restricted place on retail. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Revaniter 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) These zones were closed because they were not finished. Blizzard planned a lot more, but finally decided to do not release some stuff on game original release. Such as Hellfire Penninsula, which originally was supposed to be 55-60 zone from what I've heard. A lot of things were not released and it was safer and easier to leave them be instead of removing them. Nothing harmfull in exploring them.

smokeit 26 Report post Posted January 31, 2017 Wait, theres a legit wait to get to old outland? Awesome! As far as getting banned, if it's done legitimately you shouldn't get banned. But maybe the antihack system will accidentally pick you up if you are in weird zones, not sure. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taladril 43 Report post Posted January 31, 2017 Confirmation from GM would be good but I've heard that it is not against the rules to explore areas that are able to be gotten to by legitimate means. On old nost I did a ton of exploration and didn't get any warnings whatsoever. Now maybe it was unnoticed, I am not sure. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted January 31, 2017 This is a tricky topic. Technically, if you're exploring and not cheating in any way to help you explore, there shouldn't be an issue. However, if a GM sees you somewhere you shouldn't be able to get to, there is potential that the GM will sanction your account because we can't confirm whether or not you got there legitimately. I would advise against exploring in areas that could potentially get you into trouble - even if you're just exploring. It's very unlikely you'll "accidentally" fall into one of these areas. Best bet is to stick to the regular maps. Tyche 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On old nost I did a ton of exploration and didn't get any warnings whatsoever. Now maybe it was unnoticed, I am not sure. Did exploration on a lot of different servers, mostly retail where I still has a character on GM Island, and never got any ban / warning. There is very little chance to get "caught" exploring. Unless of course there is some special NPC/Vendor in those places, as I have seen on some private servers. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially after the nerf. You need to be a mage. You have to blink through walls, then jump into invisible water and swim up. You know the rest. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pottu 290 Report post Posted January 31, 2017 As long as exploration does not involve hacking/cheating and does not provide advantage in PvE or PvP, it is allowed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drehar 2 Report post Posted January 31, 2017 I know this server is Blizz like but I still think you guys should add some more level 60 farming areas in some of the unused locations. This might help with some over the over population and lack of quality non dungeon 60 farming spots. Just throw in some level 60-62 elite elementals and call it a day. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
