[Revolutioniary] The Otherworld Glitch

[hayboy1213]

Okay, Everyone is saying they got this working, or non-working. How do we even attempt this? Theres no instructions or anything.

[OotHE]

There are actually plenty of instructions in the begining of this thread. The only thing that's changes supposedly is the method of disconnection. Besides though, this is an exploration thread; things aren't meant to be so cut and dry. Everyone's counting on eachother to re-find this glitch. xD

This looks like it is a fake, sorry to say. seems like you renamed some map/terrain files if anything. you are clearly IN dragonblight most of these times, especially the flying in barrens and such. pretty cool but it sounds like an exploit, and i doubt it works on retail.


Although i didnt check out the video, embed a copy, noone wants to go download yours

He didn't change anything. It is real and it does work on retail.. It looks like you are flying the azeroth and its pretty awesome!

You guys should read this it involves the other world glitch, and people are saying that this works on live servers.

Hmmmm. I looked at that thread, and holy cow...if that really still does work, that's crazy. This thread's starting to leave to a whole potluck of crazy glitches.

Although I haven't gotten back into Otherworld, a friend of mine said they got back by disconnecting their internet cable. Other people have had it happen too by the way, so it still exists, but methods of getting to it have been switched up a bit. I'd like someone to go try and confirm this. They'll get any +Rep I can give them, and as much man-love as they want. xD

Today, I was in Alterac Valley, and ended up in some form of otherworld - At the end of the battle, I was killed, and my ghost didn't respawn at a graveyard (no idea why not), so I headed towards the nearest yard, but the game ended, but the "Leave Battleground" button wouldn't work, so I decided, eh, what the hell, and I used the regular DC macro.

When I got back in to the game, I had respawned, but was still in AV. The resources counter was not reset, but I could not do a bunch of things, like: mount up, use the lfg system, use the bg system, use my hearth stone, or use auto-unstuck. I was, however, able to see the world messages from what I assume was a battle occuring in the otherworld (such as the all too familiar "Snivvie is here!" message), in the chat. The entrance to the alliance bg also had a bunch of npc's that normally are patrolling (or, if on a private server, are populated in AV when there's no server-side script running within the instanced bg). I capped video and screenshots. Eventually, though, my game dc'd my character, returning me to the character selection screen, and when I reconnected, I was back where I was before entering AV.

I believe I experienced server-based otherworld, meaning that the client knew where my character was supposed to be, but the server was confused (bizarro otherworld). Perhaps this is the new way to get into OW?

Bizarre chain of events, to say the least. At least I, an informed player, was there to experience it, and document it

[pkaa4eva_jr]

What exactly is the "other world." can someone please explain that to me I would very much appriciate it, this stuff sounds so creepy and scary.

Please excuse my bad english and thank you for understanding.

EDIT: Never mind I did some research on it, this stuff seems very interesting.

there are many forms of otherworld one of them can lead you to emerdal dream. But i don't know how to use it or how it works...Just to say emerdal dream is still in game we musn't give up searching.

akspa420, can you upload that video as a comment? I'd love to see this.

[Dysain]

I'm a bit curious about this video or screen shots as well and would love to see them.

[akspa420]

I've got screenshots, but for some reason, the video was never compressed by the wow client (mac client of WoW has a built-in video capture function, which randomly decides to not compress videos) - I've got all the temp files, but I can't seem to force it to compress.

Also take a look in at the HP - I only noticed this while editing, but it looks like my stats somehow went over the cap. Very strange.

been into OW a few times when it still worked with the ships.
but it sure is lame they took it out,,hope you guys find another way in.

[OotHE]

I heard that the XYZ Boat and XYZ Zepplin actually have been removed from the game, which may have had some effect. I would like someone to confirm or deny this.

Also, I still want to see someone test disconnection via unplugging their internet, to see if that works as well.

[akspa420]

It looks like when you get on a boat, the game has been modified to make it think that the boat has already gotten to its destination.









Note, however, that while in Stormwind, the transporters are noted to be only about 9000 yards away, which gives me hope that the xyz boat still exists in some form. I haven't taken a closer look at the xyz spawn points yet.

[OotHE]

Hmmm, that's really interested. Ya, so the XYZ boat's gone (at least from its original location). I noticed that you can't get to Otherworld on private servers, and that the XYZ boat wasn't there, so that's definitely the connection. Perhaps they did move it though, but where would it be if it wasn't at 0,0,0?

So...the boat transportation system works backwards? What if we were to do the glitch itself backwards then? Say, from a BG to next of a boat, on the boat, off, and a BG then d/c? That's just random guesswork, highly doubt it'd do anything.

Still, supposedly people are still falling into Otherworld. If ANYONE manages to end up there, PLEASE record it. Until then, this glitch is nerfed.


PS: What's that addon that tells you triggers ingame? That can be used to find a lot more glitches, like the supposed instance / flightpath trigger on top of Karazhan.
