Explorers Guide to the Galaxy

If you need one video to show you all of the more secret areas of the World of Warcraft you can explore, this is the one. It's got near everything covered, including underneath Stratholm, Ironforge Airport, beyond the Greymane Wall, placeholders for the game, and tons more to a rocking soundtrack. The movie weighs in at over 25 minutes long so get the popcorn out and enjoy this long and awesome movie.

The Amazing Race

In the World of Warcraft, you can take flights on creatures to other cities to ease the time it takes to travel to and from. In this video we see a Tauren Shaman on a flight path being raced by a Hunter who is exploiting a bug in the game to achieve a very high rate of runspeed. The flight goes from the main city of Orgrimmar all the way south to the trade city of Gadgetzan; click play to watch it as I won't dare spoil the ending:

Touch the Bell in Booty Bay

Some places are hard to reach and require a bit of tricky footwork, jumping around, and exploration in the World of Warcraft. Check out this video showing how to reach the bell in Booty Bay (a town shared by both, the Horde and Alliance). Betcha didn't even know there *was* a bell in Booty Bay, did you?? Well, just watch and prepare to be amazed.

Getting on top of Orgrimmar

This is also how those pesky Alliance sneak "under" Orgrimmar and drive us Horde crazy with thier yells. Quite an interesting place to visit as you can see by watching this video, something changes when you take the normal route vs. this one to visit Orgrimmar in the World of Warcraft.

Warlock Farming in Dire Maul

"Farming" is the term given to the act of gaining items or loots through strategic or repetitive actions. Say, sticking around a certain area killing enemy mob after mob, reaping in the coin and loot they drop over and over. Or, in this case, being a Warlock and heading to an instance named Dire Maul to farm a highly sought after item, the Libram of Focus. It takes a bit of strategy and alot of patience, but the item you gain in the efforts is well worth it and worth a bit of coin at the in-game Auction House.



Warlock's aren't the only class to be able to do this either, we may have videos up of hunters and mage's doing this as well with their own methods.

The Plague In Orgrimmar

Back in Sept. 2005, a plague hit the major cities in the form of a damaging spell named "Corrupted Blood" that came from a high level instance. How it worked is like this - The spell used to cause 200 damage every 2 seconds and pass itself to anyone else nearby on your side. One person would become infected with the damaging spell and then Hearth (or "warp") back to a main city and infect everyone around them, who in turn infected everyone around them, and so on and so forth until the entire city was infected. Fun times while it lasted and caused for some interested effects, but this spell was eventually toned down to only afflict the person infected and not nearby friends.



More info can be found here at Wikipedia concerning this plague.

World of Paladincraft III

One of the highlights of this clip is the Paladin going into Orgrimmar with 12 healers. Orgrimmar is a main city of the Horde and a Paladin is one of the strongest classes overall that the Alliance has. There is much more to this video clocking in at over 15 minutes showing just how much Paladin's kick ass.
