Whatever happens as a result of my little field trip today, I am fully prepared to accept the responsibilities. Wow, was it ever worth it.

Here are some screen shots as proof of my criminal activities. See if you can figure it out from the scenery alone:

Scenery

Scenery Part II

Longest drop in WoW world

Scary Cave

The shot that made the trip worthwhile

Isn't that very redundant?

If I post the details of how I did it, Ringo will show up and hit me with something big and hard, like Menethil Harbor. I'm willing to go back with the right discrete individuals that have the ability to either stealth, or knock the crap out of the demonic guards on the way there.

Bear in mind that if you are caught there, you will most likely experience a suspension of some type at the very least. Of course, my defense is that there were NO exploits used of any kind to get there. A combination of jumping, running and judicious application of my mount were sufficient to get me in.

ah, ok. That crosses me off the list. We paladins totally suck at hiding.

I thought it would be a somewhat umperturbed access spot, like the one that used to take you to the top of Ironforge (quite a view! One of my alts had a couple of snapshots there)-

Hopefully they'll open Hyjal somewhere between 1.14 and the year 2010.

If you get banned and have to buy a new account, you know you're making a dwarf or gnome, aye?

:D

But hey, just because you didn't tell us how to go there doesn't mean Ringo can't hit you with Menethil Harbor.

Hit away, boss!

Mount Hyjal is currently "off limits" in much the same way the gnomish airport in the mountains above Ironforge is, and if a GM happens to look your way while you're up there, you get in big trouble.

I think it's frellin' ridiculous, since those areas are in the game and take no 3rd party software to access, just a bit of creative jumping. If blizzards doesn't want us to get in there so badly, they should do a better job walling the areas off.

Blizzard seems so arbitrary in what is allowed or not allowed.

I've wandered that land before, but only as a ghost. Couldn't quite figure out how to get over there without ghosting through a certain gate.
