The Lost Worlds of WoW

I was browsing the various webcomics and blogs I read when I stumbled across the Lost World of Warcraft site. I'm sure it's not new to a great many of you, and the information may not be earth-shakingly current, but the ease of having it all in one place to browse and the neat graphics available meant that I spent a while browsing it. I especially enjoyed looking over the Azshara Crater entry, since that's one of my favorite bits of speculation. I still think they should either make it a 25 man PvP battleground (since 25 is the new 40) or a raid instance zone similar to the CoT version of Mount Hyjal.The site's a little behind the times (it seems to have stopped updating around the time TBC was in beta) but it's still a solid little snapshot of places that never got off the ground or which ended up removed or never intended for player consumption. I've flown over Elwynn Falls a whole lot of times and never even noticed that cabin.
So if you're interested in this kind of 'secret cow level' stuff, check it out. And if you can think of any places the site's missed, I'd like to know about them.

Lost WoW is in serious need of updating. The forums don't work either, so there is no direct way of giving feedback. :(

Think I've visited all those places and more, except for that little Shatterspear Village and the Vault.
If anyone knows any other possible secret places, do tell! I actually enjoy finding those spots.

Incredibly interesting if you're into the evolution of the game. I think they should put "Chow is my love monkey" back into the game somewhere for obvious reasons.

Extremely interesting find!! I agree i wish someone would continue to update it. Who knows whats hidden in BC or what hidden new stuff has been added in current Azeroth.

I think we blowed it up. The website just stopped responding.

When you click on the parent directory it says:
"Hi Katie2!"
So either "we blowed it up" (that made me laugh), or someone hacked it or somehting? idk.

Aww, too much traffic I guess. I was in the middle of reading it :(

Hosnap, who broke the interwebs? I'm sure there's more to the site than "Parent Directory."

Alas, this looked like it could be pretty interesting.

Interesting content, but whoever did that color scheme needs to be flogged. It's murder from a readability standpoint

This is the reason we can't have nice things and get invited to nice parties.
Sheesh...

Anyone know if its going to come back up?
Mike Oct 23rd 2007 11:34AM
Yup... We wanged it.
Tavil Oct 24th 2007 8:13AM
Evidentially their must not be anyone maintaining it anymore. Otherwise i think it would be back up by now.
