Around Azeroth: Work in progress

by Elizabeth Wachowski Oct 15th 2008 at 10:00AM

Under construction? After a day of restarts, patches, downtime and add-on chaos, I think we can all sympathize with this sign. (Except for me, because I spent the day playing Oblivion and then running up a truly horrendous bar tab. I still haven't downloaded 3.0.2.) Touchwood and friends snapped this screenshot of the Forbidden Zone in Zul'Aman prior to the Burning Crusade release. Will anything ever be as cool as paladin Tier 2? I don't think so.

Do you have any unusual World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see it on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!

Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards.

This is Mount Hyjal, formerly accessible through some clever wallwalking at the bottom of Darkwhisper Gorge. The sign was available for viewing at the centre of the whole shebang, where the wreckage of the Tree still stands.

Agree, this is old MH, got the ss myself, not ZA zone. :)

Appoligies to those who were offended at my switching what should have been 'MH' for 'ZA'.
It really was an innocent mistake. Not wanting to be called a liar & also to have Wowinsider staff taking bad mouthingfrom over the top ppl. I decided to set the record straight.

I think this picture isn't Zul'Aman, it's uninstanced Hyjal. This road leads to the sealed Darkwhisper Gorge gate.

As Pucelle stated, this not a "Forbidden Zone in Zul'Aman" this is Mount Hyjal, & you used to be able to access it via Darkwhisper Gorge.

Shame it's no longer accessable but i've still got my screenshots XD

This is by the world tree in Old Hyjal. Confirmed.

speaking of this patch thanks blizz, my Gruul's pug finsished it in 20-25mins. Running raids now with the reduced health is ridiculous. high king maulgar went down before the caster next to him did lol.

Well they're meant to be played by level 70 players with "not so epic" gear... as the new cap is 80. Playing them now is like playing low level instances :P

@rugus -- I believe he was talking about the Echos of Doom patch. People seem to have a hard time with this, but NEITHER NORTHREND NOR LEVEL 80 WAS RELEASED IN THE PATCH. They only comment there that may even be remotely true is the 'not-so-epic' gear, but as he said it was a pug, there is a greater than normal chance of a 'not-so-epic' geared player...
