Posted by Soltanus. I added comments to his post, they're in yellow:

I was watching the files update during the patch and noticed the names of several zones that aren't in yet. See if any of you noticed other ones:

Blackwing Lair-(I think this is going to be the raid only instance at the top of UBRS. Come get some Victor Nefarious)

your right on this one

Emerald Dream-(The place where those hippies go. Maybe also involve the Emerald Dragon Flight, like Eranikus. I also remember that the male druid from the Warcraft III games is supposedly trapped here according to ingame lore)

Malfurion Stormrage the head druid. The emerald dream is where druids go to meditate until they are needed to defend Kalimdor (IE Battle of Hyjal etc).

Caverns of Time-(I have no idea about this place, I assume it's related to the Dragon Aspect of Time since it's guarded by 3 high level Drakes.)

This is the resting place of one of the Dragons that the Titans assigned to guarding Azeroth. I've run throught there as a ghost a few months back. I counted 4 seperate instance portals and some damn cool scenery.

And you know that there has to be a way to reopen the Dark Portal sometime in the future.

not sure what service it will provide. the dark portal lead to the Orc homeworld of Dreanor which was destroyed at the end of WC2:Beyond the Dark Portal. Thats why when you look at the graphic in the blasted lands it looks like it leads to empty space rather than the orc homeworld.

What about Uldum in Tanaris? Seems like something will be there. And there is still an entire bottom half of Silithus that isn't accessible yet.

plus you got hyjal that is not open yet, that is an entire zone... and there is a few spots on the map that dont have names but they are sub-divided regions.

Emerald dream will be nice, but damn the last 2 added instances are Hippie ones....

Dont forget that other portal in SW. And I think they will def hook up both caverns of time, and the Dark portal to the orc homeland.

Where is the other portal in SW?

And the portal in Deadwind Pass, Nam should know about thast one.....he spends enough time there having people camped :P.

And Southern Silithus. Personally, the future instance that I'm looking forward to is the bug one in Silithus. Anyone who has ever fought those bugs in Silithus knows how insane those fights can be. It should be a real challenge.

i HATE bugs.

the instance portal in Deadwind is Medivh's tower. Medivh was the warlock who was responsible for contacting the Burning Legion and opening the dark portal, letting the Orcs into Azeroth. He was killed later in the story so I'm guessing he'll be an Undead boss when his tower is complete.

i think the portal in SW is a closed off area for the SW auction house when they put them in all cities.

theres so much room for expansion its nuts. im sure theres tons of crap im forgetting.

Hey blader come meet me in Azshara one day I got something for ya

really, is it a surprise or can ya tell me now???
