WoW Classic: Old Ironforge

Old Ironforge had no use during the vanilla era, even though it was prominently displayed on the in-game minimap and was even painted on the big map. The game manual listed its name as the "Hall of Thanes". It was rather easy to access in earlier patches: whether by walking through the doors as a ghost, blinking through it as a mage, randomly pathing through the door as a polymorphed sheep, and so on. Blizzard had to sequentially patch out each method as they were found out. The bottom of Old Ironforge was full of magma that was impossible to get out of, so it was a dangerous place to explore. It wasn't until the Cataclysm expansion that Old Ironforge was opened as an actual intended part of the game for players to access.

Recorded in World of Warcraft at 30 FPS and optimized to keep filesize reasonably low.

My thanks to Rucus, without him this footage wouldn't be possible! Let's enjoy vanilla World of Warcraft Classic!
