Other continents on Azeroth - What would you like to see?

[My User Name]

WoW is told from your character's perspective. If your character has never been there, then Blizzard doesnt need to add it to the map yet. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Uh... map? I didn't mention anything related to in game maps.

What I'm trying to say is that a landmass that was never mentioned or known in lore before and just popped up from nowhere doesn't make any sense.

Something with trolls. That would be awesome

I wish people would just understand that Blizzard intentionally NEVER mentioned at any point in their RPG, books, even the Chronicle, that Kalimdor was the only continent. It even said in the Chronicle "Kalimdor was the central continent on Azeroth" or something along those lines. They skirted around saying "The ONLY continent".

I imagine there's still plenty of land left to explore N,E,S and W of the current continents.

It actually said that Ancient Kalimdor was the largest of azeroth's continents.

Edit: pg. 29 of Chronicle "This burgeoning civilization was located near the center of Azeroth's largest continent." - Speaking of Y'shaarj and the Black Empire. Which was the first civilization on Azeroth.

Well what I'm trying to say is, I've played many different MMORPGs from back in the days of pen and paper D&D. New continents suddenly appearing in lore is just commonplace in the fantasy genre. Take Tolkien for example. He never once mentions lands north or south of Middle Earth beyond the Forodwraith or Harad, yet obviously they exist because the landmass doesn't break into a coastline. Because the lore hasn't been written yet, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Warcraft is still young, Blizzard wants to complete the lore of one continent before moving on to others most likely.

How about some other examples? The world in Elder Scrolls is called Nirn. Up until recently Tamriel was the only known continent on Nirn. I believe it was somewhere between Oblivion and Skyrim that Bethesda created the continents of Akavir, Pyandonea, Atmora,Yokuda and Aldmeris.

EverQuest creates new continents and landmasses like every couple years.

here it is in 2004 I believe


here it is now.

The D&D world is known as Eberron iirc, and with every new campaign comes a new unexplored section of it.

Confirmation of their being more, as the only explored landmasses on Azeroth come from Kalimdor.

Except they did.

For many ages the Titans moved and shaped the earth, until at last, there remained only one perfect continent.

This was put in the in-game book and on the official website.

Ten thousand years before the First War, the world of Azeroth cradled only one massive continent: Kalimdor. (WC Encyclopedia)

And in the RPG (not canon anymore):

Ten thousand years before the orcs and humans clashed in their First War, the world of Azeroth had only one massive continent — surrounded by the infinite, raging seas.
--Warcraft RPG

Thousands and thousands of years ago, Azeroth was one enormous continent surrounded by the sea.

To a casual observer, the Elemental Plane looks like a world similar to Azeroth: one large continent surrounded by water, with a yellow sun burning above.

According to the history books, 10,000 years ago all the lands in Azeroth were part of the same giant land mass: the primeval Kalimdor.
--Lands of Mystery

It actually said that Ancient Kalimdor was the largest of azeroth's continents.

That was something new in Chronicle. "Azeroth's largest continent" is used before the titans ordered it. After the ordering, it's referred to as "Azeroth's main landmass" and "the primary continent."

[Techno-Druid]

Oh, I would like to see an Azshara based expansion.

Alliance Major City
- Kul Tiras
Horde Major City
- Kezan

We ally with the Zandalari led by King Rastakhan, we battle Naga and Old God minions. I can see islands similar to the Lost Isles and Isle of Thunder, with raptors, pterrorwings (I think that's what they're called) and other beasts.

I would also enjoy fighting more pygmies, saurok and pirates.

As for new races we encounter; a Polynesian-themed subrace of Tuskarr, kappa and maybe a shark-like subrace of murlocs.

He means the map ingame and to us we all don't know if there's any other land masses left. Just because it wasn't mentioned doesn't mean they don't exist.

i didn't like WoD or the AU stuff, but i was kind of hoping we would explore more of draenors landmasses!

So what do you think? Any more continents or no?

Technically they could still add other continents without breaking the lore they just wouldn't be "perfect" or "massive". Maybe perfect means titan influences and creations. Or they could just say the sundering had a reverse effect on a bunch of small landmasses by smashing them together into a super continent.

[Traveler Voltin]

smart murlocs.
yes smart murlocs.

[Garfurion]

Chronicle clearly created room for more continents which is interesting since it could/should be continents without Titan or old god influences.

[Zuben]

They can continentify any small island if they so desire, because that's exactly what they did with Broken Isles. If we assume they won't do that, then all we have left of Azeroth uncharted is a collection of islands spread out far and wide.

[InDecisive]

I'm near certain Kezan and Zandalar will each host an entire expansion, and I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow found a way to do the same for Kul'Tiras too.
