We often hear the complaint that the Azeroth map is getting increasingly crowded -- that with the addition of Pandaria and the Broken Isles, there is little room left for the other lands that we know are out there, including the many islands of the South Seas, the various undersea regions of the Maelstrom, the islands comprising Greater Kul Tiras, and mysterious places like Galhara, Hasic, Balor, and the Dragon Isles.
But am I the only one who likes the idea of a crowded, compact Azeroth map? I love the idea of being able to explore every corner of Azeroth. I made a map (high quality version here) of what a potential version of Azeroth might look like, showing every island and zone that I've ever heard about in WoW. Please note that the islands are drawn rather large because, where possible, the map is using the physical size of the in-game zones as the scale (i.e. how long it takes to walk across the zone), not the scale from lore or the in-game maps. And the continents are drawn close together to highlight that a crowded world, with minimal wasted empty ocean, could be really fun.
Is anyone else excited about this possibility? Also, let me know if any areas are missing on the map that you think should be there!
