Topic: Ironforge and Old Ironforge

Hearing that there was an old Ironforge inside IF, I decided to go read some books on the wars and everything, but I'm still not sure when they had to rebuild Ironforge, whether it was The War of Three Hammers or something else, anyone know?

Re: Ironforge and Old Ironforge

Re: Ironforge and Old Ironforge

Nope there's an old ironforge under the new ironforge, you can get there in ghost from by walking throught the wall that looks like a door in the High Seat.

Re: Ironforge and Old Ironforge

So no one has read any lore explaining when IF was rebuilt and why?

Re: Ironforge and Old Ironforge

No wonder Ironforge is so laggy. There's a whole other city it's rendering at the same time =/

I'm guessing it's futur high level content. Since the whole thing is still in the game, and textured and even filled out with some doodads (like the torches) it doesn't make sense that it would have been a first draft.

I was taking pictures as I ran down the ramp.  hehe


And I think that Old IF was actually in the Alpha / Early Beta.   At least, that's what I have heard.  That might be why it's so "complete".

Its so small that it wont make a dent in the gameplay.

Re: Ironforge and Old Ironforge

I walked down there today and took a chance by posting a GM ticket asking what it was.  I got a response saying that Old IF is due for some future content, and everything is there, just non-functional.

The GM's exact words when I asked if it was just an easter egg area or a place for future content were: Everything is working as intended.

That didn't make sense to me and then I got the closing text macro "Thank you for..." blah blah blah.  Stuck in the middle though was ":cough:future content:cough:".

I'm excited. ^_^

Everyone else sees the obvious connection between LOTR (Fellowship) and OIF right...

DEATHWING - Alliance

Giramor, 60 hunter

DRAGONMAW - Horde

Senjavi - 48 mage

*Cough*
Anyone else sees the obvious connection between everything in LotR and everything in WoW, right?

And I'm not talking about the whole Bracelet of Power and the 9 Bracelet Boogymen thing roll

Oooooo!

So people might want to stay out of there because it may be an "unfinished area" sometime.

Re: Ironforge and Old Ironforge

I thought it was pretty obvious that it was for future content. Why else would it be there? If it was just going to be a useless area, they would have removed it or made it more appealing or something.

Laugh hard it's a long way to the bank.

Re: Ironforge and Old Ironforge

Personally, I think that should be the underground casino that they plan to add later.

Re: Ironforge and Old Ironforge

They should make a portal that when you jump into it it deletes your character.
