Many people have speculated on how Emerald Dream is accessible. After the RAoV Team released our first video back in 3.3.5 we said at the end of the video we know a way to get to ED, mainly because of some former RAoV members we had at the time were going to be kicked and they had some information on how we where able to access the area. Worried they would release any information, we had to quickly make our first RAoV video with out any of them knowing, so once we released it we kicked them at the same time. We had decided not to release ED because it was just a huge find and thought we could not only reach ED map ID but also find possibly other locations with using this new method we found.
So finally we are going to reveal exactly how we did it, we made sure that this exploit was not redoable before we could release it.
First off you must be in a group and have the team leader convert to a raid. ED is not accessible through a normal group and you must be apart of a raid.
Take a boat from Booty Bay to Ratchet, you must climb to the top where the ropes are tied together and then run to the spot where we are on the ledge and if we where to jump we would no longer be apart of the boat anymore and fall into the water. We are not exactly sure why it is this area, but we figured it is not apart of the boat trigger which we assume is a big box that you cannot see.
Now that you are waiting for the boat to hit the loading trigger you must have your D/C macro in your action bar, this is what is going to help you completely screw your characters location. So right before the boat hits the trigger (you can see that the boat stops for a split second then loads), press the disconnect macro.
Now if you did this correctly, you should notice your wow will crash. Not a simple disconnect and log back in, your whole wow game must crash. Now close it and reopen it, log back in as fast as you can before the 20 seconds logout. When you reconnect, you will notice that your loading screen is not the same as 3.3.5 Kalimdor loading screen is. You should notice the old Vanilla loading screen that has a dwarf on a flying gryphon and you will also notice that the loading bar has reached 100% but sits there and does nothing.
From here you will hear that sound that comes up everytime you explore a new area, and then you will hear your guy fall to his death. Once this has happened, close wow again and restart it. Now log back in and you will be in Emerald Dream as a ghost.
That was our method to reach Emerald Dream, this exploit is outdated and no longer works. We will not be posting this on youtube or any other forum. This exploit was found by Marulu of the RAoV Team from EU.
