[Very strange discovery] Under gromgol + South Silithus

[Hiselor]

I remind ..

2 weeks ago, i was level ~50..i wanted to fly from orgrimmar to strangle.
So i take the zepp "Org->Gromgol"

When i was in strangle (Not in Gromgol!, i was over the water), i had a smart lagg (My internet was not the fastest :P), and i wanted to jump from the zep.. but i had lagg.. when the lagg was over (few secs) i was in a wierd area.. i was simming in the water, but i also saw about me grom gol oO

Ok, i thought that i was under grom gol, but when i discovered a bit, i saw big mountains..
i swam a few mins.

Wth was that?
"Silithus" pop'd up..

i looked on the map and saw, that i was in the water under silithus..

But how the hell does this works? i was under gromgol and in the water under silithus..


So there must be a bug, maybe it works with fear ..

Like i said, i wanted to jump from the zepp, and in this time, before i leav'd the zep, i had lagg until i was in the water

Tomorrow ill try this a few hours again, and i hope it works again!


Sorry for my bad english, and i hope it isnt a repost, i found that out by myself, and i only want to contribute!

This would contribute to the idea that the WoW worlds are just layered on top of eachother, but without screenshots its just speculation :S

[Wezagred]

Experienced it aswell.

However, I call it "Underworld".

Since you are practically beneith the place you gotta be. And I've that proven, as I experienced to be walking on water, beneith Karazhan, I could see the gate (and corpses lol).

Say if you want a SS

[Khounur]

i can confirm that speculation. i have a pick of me on a non spawned Hilsbrad below Barrens

[Hawthorne]

I would love a screenshot
Or video.
it sounds really interesting.
Good find.

not really an exploit, more of a glitch/bug. exploits are more of something that you can use to gain something you otherwise wouldnt.

Perhaps a better palce for this would be exploration? IDK, but either NICE find. Now just swim somewhere that goes under the water and mess around with it



and @ the idea that WoW is layered; I think its layred for sure. if you look at the right angle when your at water, it will appear that your whole screen is underwater when its not. This probably means that the level of water, and the water animation/CamZ point is below the water level.



This also leads to the next question that can be applied to real life... Where does the sky start, and wheres does "sky" stop and become space?

=O

You used to be able to run at the mail box from the zep tower in grom gol and right before you reached the mail box, d/c yourself and when you loaded your game back up you would be in silithrus. Not sure if that still works or not. You're not really there though your client thinks your some where your not and loads the wrong map but on the server your still where your supposed to be so you'll see a bunch of flying mobs and such.

I would love to see a picture of this occurrence.

My little brother ALWAYS gets into "non-spawned" layer worlds. It's mainly because the fps lag on our family computer makes it hard to avoid it some times.

Yes, WoW is layered. Particularly, EK is layered on top of Azeroth. You can access the "lower layer" by lagging through any of various "cracks" in EK. These cracks exist within UC Elevators, other places in UC, the Zeppelins (this is what you are seeing), and just about any other "moving floor" area. Situating yourself in between the moving and non-moving area can occasionally let you fall through that crack and land into a non-instanced version of Azeroth, where everything looks LIKE Azeroth but is actually right below EK.

I hope that explains some things for you guys.

"OMG THIS ONE TIME SOMETHING REALLY COOL HAPPENED!!11"


"What, you want proof? Crap I don't have any"

These "cracks" also existed around a tree at the Northern Durotar graveyard, just outside Orgrimmar.
And about the UC elevators, Stonetalon is no that far from UC, if you survive...

I thought Blizzard did this on purpose after patch... 1.3 or something to avoid players being stuck infinitely falling ; unable to hearth back into the real game.
