[Cataclysm] Flooded maps from official files!

[Xel]

I'm not sure but it seems that Blizzard included some flooded maps in 3.2 ulduar files. I'm not sure if they're related, but anyways they're worth posting imo.


These maps can be found from World of Warcraft\Data folder in Lichking.MPQ. Treepath is World\Expansion02\Doodads\Ulduar\

This is UL_Planet05.blp




and this is UL_Worldmap_01.blp

I'm guessing the big retarded spot in Kalimdor that isn't there is where the storm has struck and no more sexy orgrimmar glitching on my rogue:/.

Or this is not much than textures used in ulduar

[ultralars]

why is that file the only file without the peon icon? maybe cause it's fan created?

[cirious]

Confirmed, files are not user created.
Really interesting.

[Tobblish]

bet they added them as a little hint of what we can expect in the coming expansion and give WoW more hype.

Cant wait for this

Indicator what file is currently being shown.

[Finalwish]

They are shown on planets in ulduar, bunch before algalon room. But yeah looks like kalimdor got shredded to bits.

Grats on Elite Xel!

I'm so interested in the next expansion that I'm starting to get pissed that its not going to be the way im hoping. I have so many great Ideas about new talents and content.. Thanks for the share again.

EDIT: I think the top of that world map is just clouds they were trying to portray.

Mmmmmmm smexy

[Shadowz987]

saw these posted on mmo-champ, despite it being rumors, this is looking to be quite possible and plausible showing the evidence in current game files

[crazyelfjj]

Blizzard, how can you do this! I remember the non-flooded places...Wait, they are still here...TIME FOR MASS SCREENIES1!!one!11!one!!!
