Need quick answer - What happens when you port to "GM Client Only" areas?

[hp94]

A while ago, I noticed it was possible to see where the destination was of your worldport on live servers before the transfer aborted message was. Some things that came up was, Worldport GM -> GM Island, or Worldport developer -> Devolopers Isle, interesting things. But I just came upon:

Worldport GM Client

Which gives:

Porting to TEST for GM Client Only - Do Not Bug

Is it possible to see where this ports you to?
Is it possible to see what the coordinates of the destination would have been if you can't port there?
Is it possible to see what the MapID of the destination would have been?

Google didn't come up with anything. +rep for whoever helps, as always, and thanks.

You need a mpq file to port to these areas.

If you try to port you will wowerror out and it'll say youre missing a mpq file.

I haven't been able to try since I'm only on the Live Realms and I don't have GM powers (Darn) to see if it does error, or if you could see the location coords and MapIDs of the destination.

There was several areas like that.

Off the top of my head there was Designer's Island and Developer's Island, as well as an area called "Testing".

"Testing" was a giant crate. It was huge, big enough that you couldn't see from one side to the other. Within the crate, there were more crates, each getting smaller, and each one inside of the previous one.

I know Designer's Island and Developer's Island were both removed, and trying to port there will crash you. I don't know whether Testing was removed, but I can no longer find any posts with the coordinates. I would check the DBCs, presumably a list of all map IDs can be found within.

The only things i could find within my own recall are

INSERT INTO `recall` (`id`, `name`, `MapId`, `positionX`, `positionY`, `positionZ`, `Orientation`) VALUES (270, 'GMIsland', 1, 16222.6, 16265.9, 14.2085, 0); INSERT INTO `recall` (`id`, `name`, `MapId`, `positionX`, `positionY`, `positionZ`, `Orientation`) VALUES (269, 'GM2', 1, -10735.8, 2463.19, 7.8301, 0); INSERT INTO `recall` (`id`, `name`, `MapId`, `positionX`, `positionY`, `positionZ`, `Orientation`) VALUES (268, 'GM1', 1, -11805.5, -4754.13, 6.96693, 0)

Gmisland, gm1, gm2... Not that this helps you, but i would suggest you do like Eradicator says and look in the dbc files, or browse through some of the tables in databases, such as worldmap info, you might be able to find something there.
