Personal Anecdote: I was doing those quests back in 2005. Soloing those naga wasn't easy. It took me a bit to clear all the way to the entrance of the cave. I had just stepped inside the cave, and i sat down to replenish my mana (warlock) as it suddenly started to rain outside the cave, quite noisily. A very strong rain, with thicc fog ... It was the most immersive experience i had with the game at that time, and that moment stuck with me all this time. Is funny how a very simple, mundane even, moment can make such a big impact. I love this game and is because of moments like this.. not because of the massive raids or shinny epics... which yeah i do love too, who doesn't... but the feeling of adventure i felt back then is something that not only was amazing... it can never be recreated imo.

Part of it is definitely who you (and all of us) were back in 2005. That kind of identity can never be recreated because we're older and wiser. That said, I wish retail focused a lot more on background atmospheric effects. It already did that for skyboxes, but I could go for a second Cataclysm *just* to bring the modern skyboxes to the whole old world.

5:30 "In typical Classic-WoW fashion, the questline ends and we never learn the full history of the relic". I swear to God : between the whole in-game place in Stonetalon mountains, the Guld'dan skull in Darkshore, the corruption threatening the Swamp of Sorrows, the whole Deadwind Pass region serving no point, plane hidden high between the east coast of Arathi and the land, the Arathi pirates doing nothing, the 10 (probably more) Naga excavations leading to nothing, the sickness of the wetland, the forbidden genuinly super sad story of the cockroach vendor in Undercity, the goblin and gnome deadly Mad Max races through the Thousand Needles, the map error of Desolace, the 6 orphans of Stormwind being totally demoniac, the unused den at the very south of Kalimdor, the forbidden NPC of the Badlands... And all places between places where players are not supposed to go be private servers loves to put an event into... I swear I thought Season of Discovery would have been about all of these old mysteries, and many more because I thought they would put Vanilla contents they had to cut because of the lack of time for developping it.

Hey man, I wanted to let you know that, while reading the wiki, I realized that there are multiple Blood Elves before TBC. The interesting thing is that most of them are in the Blasted Lands and, not only that, the main quest chain in the zone sends you to Azshara to meet the only Demon Hunter found before TBC and there's even a blood elf camp in Azshara too. I think this is part of the cut content of the Vanilla Outland.

I just visited that cave a few weeks ago with my level 80 character cause I wanted to both explore and mine minerals to support engineering on my alt, and I noticed that secret underwater cave extension, I was so astonished (after all these years, I just found it so recently)! It really peaked my curiosity as to what the purpose might be and what else is there... but unfortunately it just ends there. :] Which is pretty much how I expect WoW mysteries to end lol, with a dead end.

yes, it’s definitely pretty cool. I feel like I’ve been to this place before some years ago because I was definitely getting déjà vu vibes. As fun as some of these mysteries are to ponder I feel like some of these things are just the result of overthinking/overactive imagination by the players. because when they were designing these areas, I’m sure the people in charge just placed some random doodads Around the map. With no real reason behind it. I guess the real exciting thing about artificial intelligence would be that maybe one day end of the future we can uncover secrets that the developers didn’t even intend in the first place, but were a byproduct of extrapolation which was formed from AI that was given broad parameters.

Fun facts about the isle of dread. In waters off the coast (and possible quite close to the swim one must take), there are some very great sharks, truely much bigger than usual. Also, you may find the rare lobster 'Diamond head'. Finally on the Isle of dread, you may find some chimaeras - very strong 60 elites. These chimaeras drop some of the best food ingredients for "Dirge's Kickin' Chimaerok Chops", a 25 stamina food buff.

I was a sort-of cata kid (technically played since vanilla on my dad's account, but was literally too young to be able to understand leveling past 20 or so in the pre-cata world, and cata leveling was much simpler) and when classic came out I played through Feralas on alliance. and i thought the isle of dread was really cool and was disappointed that it sunk into the sea in Cata. (Also I thought feathermoon stronghold was cooler on an island. Sure it was really inconvenient to wait for the boat but with the return of the highborne in cata they could have added a night elf mage npc to teleport you to and from the isle)

There are so many ancient Kaldorei ruins on the west coast of Kalimdor that it would honestly be tempting to try and make a map of their ancient holdings. It goes all the way out to Bloodmyst, iirc. Presumably, it must have been quite heavily populated prior to the Sundering, and MAYBE quite culturally distinct given that it was so far away from the capital? I should re-read the War of the Ancients trilogy sometime, lol.

@@diegoaespitia I mean I see your point in this way, but SoD is mainly just fixing the gameplay part of things of vanilla rather than "fleshing out the things they never finished" because imo as the main example the ashbringer skin questline from the way you obtained it to the end was great so it would be 1000 times better to have this fleshed out in retail like god knows how much lore they could come up for that HUGE island than they could in classic like getting a little easter egg quest with Xal'atath etc. is one thing but revealing the lore of an entire island which could literally if they wanted to be an entire patch worth of content down the future would just be stupid

So... maybe! :D
