World of Warcraft: Wrath of Lich King map tweaks |
Ó
With over nine million users, you could say that the World of Warcraft is having its own population explosion. Although it's the kind the folks over at Blizzard wouldn't mind (I can't picture them handing out condoms and birth pills to orcs and night elves), you can bet they're still bent on looking for ways to make sure everybody's got enough playing grounds. With the new Wrath of the Lich King expansion, expanding maps is a gimme.
This map image of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion shows the new NorthEnd realm sandwiched between Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. A careful look will show that the older continents have somewhat changed in shape and mass. The blue scribbles in the picture above outline the original land mass of the continents, and as you will see there have been some considerable map changes done. Thankfully, the folks over at WoWInsider have already listed what the noticeable exactly changes are:
- Kalimdor changed in shape significantly. No longer looking quite so much like a penguin, it now has a more crescent-shaped profile.
- Two new islands off the southwest coast of the Eastern Kingdoms.
- New bit of land north of Westfall, west of Stormwind on the west coast of EK.
- Islands Northwest of Tirisfal removed, and two small ones added north of Scarlet Monestary

It seems weird that they would shave off parts of the existing continents. Hey, by the way, since I'm the only person commenting here (so far), I just want to say that you guys have BY FAR the best news site for WoW. I don't usually click on the little "Jump It Up" thingies or comment, but I certainly visit/read your site every day, often several times a day. I hope you are well funded/supported because I really think you're the best, and I hope you'll always be around. I had a fan site once for a trading card game that became very popular and I sold it, so I know how hard it is to have good and original content. You guys are truly the best.
Like pasionate geek I don't comment or anything much but I am here pretty much each day.. Annnyywaayy.. What have they done to silithus then in the expansion? looking at that map it looks like the whole place has sunk away?
Yea, thats a significant part of silithus just to remove. physically in the game though, their is a massive area there that is unused. on the silithus zone map you dont see it, but if you swim/walk towards silithus from that beach in tanaris you will show up there. it looks like it was some sort of testing area for AQ way back, and they just left all the weird models and textures there. anyways yea, keep up the good work on the site :)
