Like to climb around on the terrain?

I do! I'm not talking about bugs and such, but rather about finding ways to get to areas that seem unreachable. Places like the pillar by the stairs in Krasus's Landing, the tops of the tents by the bridges in Thunder Bluff, or the top of the clock tower in Brill (the easiest one by far). Anyone else have any interesting places they like to go that seem otherwise out of reach or even just share my hobby? More to the point, does anyone else find this interesting? I don't see many people do it, that's why I was curious. As has been said before, some of the fun in WoW comes from making your own games and challenges, and this amuses me if I'm not in the mood for other stuff.

Life has this kind of stuff too; it is called rock climbing, running, sports, outdoors, etc...

:-P

I know! I love that, I go geocaching a lot and visit a lot of hiking spots in New Hampshire and other parts of the east coast, and in fact have recently considered hiking the Appalachian trail (since I have no job at the moment and no immediate prospects). Marking the lay of the land is kind of what makes it fun for me in WoW.

Never presume. ;)

Have you see me there? hehee...

hehe...good post!

I know exactly what you mean. I love finding ways to get to seemingly unreachable areas. Some of the ones I have been to are -

- The dancing troll village which can be seen when flying to Auberdine.
- The runway in the mountains above Ironforge.
- On top of the gates of Ironforge.
- On top of the gates in front of Stormwind.

That'll be something that I'll miss when Cataclysm goes live. When you can fly, it pretty much removes all exploration value for me.

Is there a hidden items there?

Yes, it used to be my hobby in vanilla, to a lesser extent.

I've only done easy things, like top of Ironforge (before Epic Mounts were easily available -_-) and pre-BC stuff in Tanaris desert.

If some of you remember a certain group called Noggerfogger addicts or something like that existing back in the vanilla, they did a lot of fun things. Although a lot of them had a lot to do with bugs, like going to places you really weren't meant to be, trying to find a way to the Emerald Dream in game, getting into Caverns of Time pre-BC (okay, I'm guilty of that too) and so on.

I thought I was the only one who would just climb a mountain for an hour

In Azshara there is a mountain top that took me ALOOOOT of time to climb. It was rly nerve breakign but i saw from the wyvern there is something on top of it. Well no NPC or mobs . . . iguess Cataclysm will put something up there but the climb was really hard. I dont even remember how i got there but i Do remember i made couple of circles of the place before finally finding the place.

I remember when i was leveling up in the barrens how i climbed the mountain on top of WC and found that NPC which gives you a Q to deliver in Ratchet. That was pretty cool.
But never doen any climbing in Outland or Northrend . . . i mean we do have flying moutns ^_^ slack ftw

Maaan these are DEFINITELY my favourite parts of the game.

I've been on top of IF, on top of and under Stormwind (best place EVAAARR - bugged out for life), on top of Goldshire's Inn, top of WC etc.

I got teased a lot for always exploring, and I don't regret it. I got the Explorer title before all my friends because of this ^.^

-Under Stormwind
-Old Quel'Thalas
-Wetlands Farm
-Ironforge Airport
-Dancing Troll Village of Darkshore
-Ontop the Stormwind Gates
-Edge of the world
-Uninstanced Zul'Gurub (Oh god that used to be my guild HQ)
-Outside the Deeprun Tram (in the water)
-Hyjal... Used to be able to ;c
-Under Orgrimmar
-Ontop of the Goldshire Inn
-Ontop of all of those little houses and town halls all over the place (including Booty Bay)
-Escaping the mountains of Dun Morogh (There's a path near Gnomeregan to a huge cliff)
-Newman's Landing
-Old Ironforge (via the Wetlands Farm)

Before I found the path, I mountain climbed my way into Sithilus (may be spelled wrong) from Un'Goro.

I also jumped my way behind Silvermoon City. Cool little beach area.

But yeah, that's my favorite part of WoW, is finding my ways to all the little nooks and crannies.

If you go into instance "Old Hillsbrad" and get behind the dam north of Tarren Mill you can go exploring all the way to Dalaran, Undercity, etc.
Just make sure you bring a mage with you. There's an invisable wall right behind the dam and you need a mage to sheep you to get past it.
You can try using the auto-unstuck button to get past it, but, keep in mind that your exact location gets logged. The GMs will know if you've been naughty.
