Exploring the Uncorrupted Plaguelands in the Culling of Stratholme 

Flaoting buildings? Giant untextured blocks? Wow, Stratholme was sure a mess before the Scourge came to fix it up!

One thing I wouldn't mind at all, is having another time travel expansion before the scourge. I really really really want to see the Plaguelands, Silverpine, Tirisfal, and Gilnease before the Scourge, but mainly the plaguelands.

I would DIE if they added a restored Lordaeron (Cenarion Circle/Silver Hand /Argent Crusade healed it). I almost have dreams seeing a fully restored Lordaeron continent restoration.

Devs hate him. See how this man managed to expose every zone possible in one simple trick!

Hayven would be proud. :3 C:

Stratholme should be restored and made into a major city :o

These videos are incredible

How I love the music from the Culling of Stratholme. Miss Wrath of the Lich King so bad. Good times.

The zone is pretty, it reminds me a lot of Eversong Woods combined with Elwynn Forest. This is appropriate considering that it borders the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas and before the Ghostlands were corrupted I think they would have looked a lot like this too.

the skeleton at 6:40 lol

I hope we'll see restored Lordaeron in the future, full of humans again and you could visit some places from Warcraft 3 campaign.

Thanks!! I was starting to get worried because we hadn't heard from you in a while but then I stopped myself because I knew you were just taking some extra time to bring us something awesome and looks like I was right again!

People is comparing you to Hayven (and you should be proud of it of course!) but as well as you are keeping this kind of exploration videos alive, you also have your different and unique style, so good job, you're doing it great!

I love when these come out

How the hell does the land go from a deciduous forest, but when corrupted turns into a coniferous forest. Something that never made sense to me. Great video though.

This is the content i need in my life

Your videos are awesome! I find them super interesting. Thanks for making them :)

Glad you could make it, Uther.

Dude I am loving these videos! Keep them coming!

I really like these kinds of videos. Would be cool to see side by side screens of corrupted and uncorrupted plaguelands

Thank you so much for this!!!ive always loved strat!

I love these videos you do, thank you. Can't wait to see the next one.

I remember doing all of these explorations when they were current.. And even though nothing amazing is out there, it's still highly interesting why they would even continue rendering in these areas.

I've always wanted to explore this area. Thanks! :D

3:55 - The object there is a famous one among us developers that is known as the 'pathing blocking' object and is commonly hidden underground or behind instance portals. It is funny to be reunited with it in a random video.

incredible quality

Instant sub and like! Thats the type of WoW content i love the most. Keep doing what you're doing because there are very few people that do this kind of stuff and we, unfortunately, lost one of them. Sorry, i just cant stop myself from thinking of it when i see a video of that category. ;( Anyways, you rock dude. Good job.

I think it's fair to say without a shadow of a doubt, this guy is a wizard.

I like that skeleton at the end of the video that implies that you died

Good stuff, especially the Stratholme part

Seeing stuff like this really make me want to see what these places look like now, we know in lore that places like the plagueland, zangamarsh and nertherstorm have all spent the past ten plus years been fixed up by the Druids and shaman of Azeroth and as such look nothing like the zones we can level in today, as far as I know the Druids have managed to return almost all life the the plaguelands and remove most of the blight so it would be interesting to see how it’s really changed.

the graphics are so damn beautiful

I subbed! I used to love Hayvens videos and, while there are plenty of exploring videos on youtube, none of them ever felt the same! But you sir remind me so much of how he made his videos. And for that, you have my applause. Keep on doing what you do :) you are doing the world a huge honor! P.S. How are you doing a human druid? I'm guessing it's a Wargon, but how are you making it so you never have to see the werewolf form? o: I love it!

Man, I love the soundtrack for this instance!

Aw yis! Time to make some tea. Ty, bro!

That untextured block beneath the portal is actually the invisible wall. Its a the guide for the devs, so they know where the invisible wall is. If you manage to glitch beneath the the portal in the eastern kingdoms, you will find that object as well.

There's other things that changed since legion besides the fog being removed. There used to be a squad of agroing npcs standing im a triangle at the ruined town just past the tunnel. Back in cataclysm these had test names and were lvl 100, but were weak and easy to kill, with rapid respawn. Used to be able to get under the map by breaking out of the instanced version of caverns of time too. You would find the peppermint stick looking blocks that normally mark invisible walls forming a giant curve under the map, forming a walkway from caverns of time, to said test mobs

I would love to have an uncorrupted chapel in live wow :( They're all falling apart or a cathedral.

Nice video, can you please give the song's name which plays at the end of the video

Love this. Did you ever think of maybe doing a side by side of the instance versus live?

Lordaeron... forever in my Alliance heart!

Love the video but I have one suggestion. Maybe when comparing zones like this to their current state you could show on screen what they look like on live. Or even better if you're up to it, provide a map in the top right corner of the video showing where your character would be in the current zone as they move around the instance zone. If that makes sense.

Idk if rogue can still teleport behind NPCs but utgarde keep's map had a couple of copies of itself with one copy of itself having tons of untextured items. The way I did it the one proto drake that comes down before it lands I would assassinate (pretty sure that was the spell) to teleport behind it. I would fall into the lake bringing you out of the invisible wall.

Nice!

YES!!!!😢😉 I waited for this and Stratholme is in my top 3 best dungeons,have u ever thought of trying out scholomance perhaps for a video?

3:56 - that untextured pink box is actually the bottom of the invisible wall (Played as GM on private servers)

Reznik the Shaman would be proud! ;-)

How does he go from his shapeshift forms straight to his human form without appearing as a worgen? Is it just editing or is there a way to make your human form permanent?

uncorrupted plaguelands looks and feels the way elwynn forest did before I knew where everything was. I almost don't want to explore it, and keep that feeling I get when I look at it and all i can feel is "elwynn" ...

Very cool!! What's the awesome music you used btw?

i hope they rework eastern and western plaguelands, supposly the crusade retake stratholme and all that. should be safe to rebuild

is rhis also possible with demon hunter?

I hope we will enter alternative azeroth some day and see world before undead plague

Is this method still working for you? Tragically, I'm getting "No path available" when I try it your way.

how were the plaguelands called before the scourge? (i mean lore-wise)

So when there was a Lordaeron the plaguelands were called Lordaeron or eastern Lordaeron??

The pink rectangles are what a lot of old school invisible walls were made of back in the day, fun fact

You remind me of Hayden Games, keep it up :)

1:01 I wonder why did they remove it

I'm enjoying these videos. Very high quality so keep it up! Here's a question I've seen raised on some other videos too: Why would blizzard bother rendering all those structures so far out? If you play the instance by following the designated path, you don't even see those things you are running around in. You are so far from the entrance there's no way these structures and trees serve any purpose. Sure, most of our PCs can deal with loading all the items, but it just seems pointless.

Why did they pay so much attention to the unplagued zone if its never used?

This guy should lead the League of Explorers.

interesting video

I'm always wondering, why there are that much objects outside of the normal instance. You can't see that far, can you? Why is it there? Isn't it a waste of data? I know, that they build it from old files but wasn't it cheapier tu cut the instances off a little bit earlier?

I love the house half on the border to nothing.

Is the cut area for the instance. which is normal. You need a platform to play . If you guys remember if you wish to go at the side at the road you will a just fog. Ofc cuz blizz will not let you see a a house/mountain/etc that are cut or misplaced, and usually lets say is the alpha version of the area ":)

@ 3:11 there is a human(oid) skeleton in the fireplace. Burned alive? Neat!!

I know hayven would be smiling right now.

this place looks like warcraft 3 map. Maybe they planned to do the whole w3 map campaign but ended but doing only the CoS instance. wish they made this. Its gonna be fun

are you playing on a private server?

Where is the place where he is in his intro

This is another elywnn forest lol, but bigger trees and the forest is more open, I wish I can see all these zones before the scourge took over, but it’s strange how they don’t have fir trees aswell, I know the giant mushrooms replaced huge trees

I dream about a WOW expanmsion, that goes back to all azeroth before the events from warcaraft 3, and that we see in the eyes of events we know from the strategy game campaigns, And helps our heroes who had control in warcraft 3. Thrall, Arthas (Human), When Dalaran has been in hilsbrad foothils, and other.

3:54 that rectangle actually is a hidden wall base

Explore the dead scar! And silvermoon city!

I was really confused because I thought you were a human druid. But then I remembered Worgens were a thing and was no longer confused

Sadly i diden't mannage to get to his furnural but i miss his presence it's a shame to lose so many Paladins.

REBUILD Stratholme and make it a great city again !

I don't understand why you wouldn't do these as a DH when there is always so much to see that you can only reach as one

I fucking love WoW!

Hayven vult!

If i can get that beautiful tier 3 plate alliance warfront set that looks heavily inspired by arthas' set he wears in CoS in BfA ill be his superior as a paladin ^-^

This looks like the pre Cata zone but also pre scourge

Hidden ? Not anymore

I wonder when will they fix eastern plaguelands.. or make at least a transition zone after you retake Stratholme with the Argent Crusader... a lot of years had past and they did nothing. #MakeLordaeronGreatAgain

Now with undercity out of horde hands the alliance should take back lordaeron. If bfa is still trying to do the whole alliance and horde separate continents completely, gilneas, stratholm, and lordaeron should be taken back.

Can I be ban for roleplaying with friend here

Noice

I wonder if one day we will get more panda-like races. STOP! NO, not panda species races I'm talking neutral. Imagine a human joining the horde from the alliance or an orc from the horde joining the alliance. It would be an interesting concept to say the least. That and now we have high elves in both horde and alliance (fun fact: blood elves ARE high elves, but they changed their name due to their storyline; albiet only difference being their eye colour now) it makes me wonder; elves are welcomed in alliance and horde and some humans are allowed in the horde (excluding undead) but as dead guys, like sylvannas right-hand man. We can still have orcs in the alliance since in wc3 thrall was friends with jaina so that can have potential there; despite most alliance now and the question I have to ask "Do any of our character within the world, stay in their faction because they have to? Or because they want to?" It would also be interesting storywise for say an orc in the alliance; after all we have death knights who were hated by everyone, so why not races?

156th

there are secrets even Hidden Azeroth knows nothing about. what do i do?

i cant help but notice that your druid is a human at first i thought you were using a simple macro that removes worgen from when you leave from travel form, but the smoke that appears when you shapeshift from worgen to human from is absent which leads me to believe that you have managed to revive the OLD human druid technique as seen in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ssMlwKCwJ4E.html i would love to compare notes some time as i have also (re)discovered the secret to human druids imgur.com/a/3Rgp5u2

Human drood ? Wat ?!

Why are americans unable to say holm correctly, its pronounced like home
