I will be forming a small group to travel the world and visit these places for a bit of new scenery soon,please /w if interested. By the by,ill make a vague list here,feel free to make additions->

-North east ashenvale(the green dragons and the portal)
-Kharazan(southern deadwind pass)
-The Caverns of Time(tanaris)
-Grim batol(wetlands)
-Named dragons in feralas and the arena boss there.
-Dragons in northern hinterlands+portal.

Silvia, Kharajo and myself went to Caverns of time the other day. I know its not complete but by the looks of it Blizzard havn't even started. A very strange place indeed :?

Bored? yea we were :P

Aszhara: Huge stone gate guarded by timermaws
Blasted lands : Dark portal

[Pyroxian]

Blasted lands : Dark portal

Supposed to be the portal to Outlands, which is the remnants of Draenor (where the Orcs originally came from). It's where Illidan fled (I think), and now rules over.

Yup, Caverns of Time is a very strange place indeed, went there myself one morning when I was bored:

And to add to the list, how about Mount Hyjal..

[Circe]

Caverns of Time is very strange...lots of odd trees floating around that you can perch on :)

Oh and add to the list Ahn' Quiraj.

Look here for more info...

caverns of time-how the hell dye get in? we killed the nasty dragons,we jumped the wall on the right and got stuck,we died and attempted to run thru the door ...HELPPP

[Hildaa]

I'd like to see the inside of Uldum, myself. But then I've always been a sucker for ruins and ancient mysteries and such things.

And the storyline is just spectacular, don't you think? Who would've thought, Troggs and Dwarves, closest kin. I know now why most -- not all, admittedly -- dwarves annoy me. :)

[Titania]

Seems Blizzard has fixed the doors to unfinished instances. Atleast they fixed the one to Caverns of Time, you can no longer just walk trhu the door as a ghost.

[Amrahil]

If I remember Uldum right, there was an entrance, but it's a few feet up so you can't jump in...

Alternativly; you could lure one of those snakes from Silithus, and get it to knockback you inside there :P Usually when I ride around Sili with my mount, they decide to send me miles up in the air, whilst being on the mount!

As for Ahn'Quiraj:

One of our hunters explored it a long time ago, I'd like to share his images.


Somehow I found a way through the mountains and past the wall so I decided to take a few screenshots:

The first is of the wall as seen from the south

And the rest are from Ahn'Quiraj, a dungeon like structure

The story is, that I had been trying to climb the mountains in order to get past the wall and while trying I ended up in Hive Regal. Here I aggroed some spitfire bug and made a run for it to the mountains and accidently found the path in the mountains.

The place looks cozy, hopefully one of our larger guilds will be able trigger the world event, and open that area. The entire realm would certainly be grateful.

[Circe]

Wow...looks very interesting :)

Thankyou for the screenies.

[Andessar]

Er, i don't want to break the mood but... some people have been banned for entering those parts you know. Supposedly is a "bug exploit".

[Dæmonicus]

Kharazan (the area, not the tower) is really cool!

Went exploring the outside crypt in ghost form today, it's like a mini dungeon in itself. Highlight of the place is a submerged room with a bunch of chains and meat hooks with people dangling off them. The room is called the upside-down sinners, creepy place.

Then there's the well that you drop down that leads to the pit of criminals or whatever it's called, nice place.

Can't wait for the instance to open! The portal is blue so it's going to be 5-man, but i love the area so far. The crypt will probably have something to do with opening up kharazan.

Yeah, I've been walking around the cellars of that place, I was in the area farming the Deadwind Ogres, got bored of that and continued down the valley. I wasn't expecting a cellar to be there, but my undead ghost-busting mini-map was so stuffed with undead that I had to explore the underground ;). There are a few stairways leading underneath the city of Kharazan, and only heavily guarded underground.
It's best done in a party, there's a bunch of level 60 undead spirits in pretty big groups, so I'd prefer going down there with a team.

I'd like to explore the place 'alive' maybe that's something for a Guild picnic...
Yet another Undead instance, bring it on for the Paladin ghost-busters!

EDIT: I was in Uldum the other day, the entrance looks like this:

Now I'm just wondering if it's possible to enter the hole..

[whappit]

take me dukey, take me

[betamax_w]

One you may have missed: There's a ruin in Stranglethorn Vale guarded by a small number of elite Trolls (including one named one) that has a blue swirly instance blocked by a grille. It's possible that this is a Horde only instance that requires some kind of event/quest item to gain access to, but I'm not sure.

Ring any bells?

[McDark]

Most likely Zul'Gurub. Which is coming next patch.

...

\o/

[betamax_w]

Sounds about right. New lands lo!

[Demonix]

I solo visited Kharazan (southern deadwind pass) a few weeks ago while bored - theres a massive tower there with an interesting underground section full of mobs. The surrounding area is full of rotting buildings with the odd ghost human mob moving about.

I took some screen shots - I'll try to dig them out.

[betamax_w]

Ah, I need to visit deadwind now I'm proper gun. Arent there Level 60 leet Ogres there though?

[Kharajo]

Note that I also posted screenshots from Ahn'Qiraj at the Screenshots thread in General.

And no it's not possible to get in Uldum. Check my post on Exploration where I posted a link to an app. You can see the instances legally there, as well as see that Uldum has nothing special behind the door. In fact it's just a door leading into a block on mountain, and there's a beach on the other side, with a wrecked plane.

[Kyptonss]

i dont know if anyone has seen or discussed about this, but in stratholme ud side, after you kill baron, if you step outside you will see to your right a gate has opened, when you go closer to inspect it you will see another green portal.

maybe there setting up a new harder instance on top of stratholme, would be ncie to see
