STV Gate to VC

[Traeyu]

I know theres been people who have been on top of this gate before but I dont think many people realize what this gate is for. After 70 lvls i hadn't even seen this gate before but I was bored so decided to figure out a way to get on top of it. After a little bit I finally found a way up the mountain and on top of it (very easy walljumps). But after ths first time i decided to get up there again and find a way into one of the gates balconies. Then realizing the other side one was cooler i found a way into that one.

Now to get to the point of this topic, I think that this gate in theory leads inside the Deadmines. Not literally to the instance but in a worldly sense it would lead into there for the pirates to get that huge ship they have been creating out, or in. I just dont think many people have thought about this and I wanted to share some info I believe.

Even the gates look the same.

This is the area where I first got up the mountains.



Where you jump onto the actual gate.

One of the many pics I have from up ontop.



Inside each balcony.





What it looks like inside.


Now onto the gate inside of The Deadmines.






The same balcony area as the gate outside.



A map of what I believe.


If any of you have thought of this concept before please dont flame me, no one I asked on my server had any idea of what this was for.

The Defias who are former Builders are building the Ship inside Deadmines they are then going to sell it to the Bloodsail Pirates...

Well I never knew there was a dam inside VC as well :P I had wondered what the dam in STV was actually blocking...

Either way, good job 'sploring.

I've known about this for quite awhile, and i cant stop wondering why the deadmines gate is pointing north and the stv gate are pointing south? doesnt make any sence to me...
Gimme some interesting thoughts :P

Keep up the good work

Isn't this sort off a reference to the Goonies movie, you know at the end with the pirateship that sails out of the cave...?
