Where do you think dragon isle will be located?

[MCitra]

I have seen a few speculating videos and post on where the isle is going to be located


Where do you guys think it will be? Or do we know?

[Gigantique]

Could be bull that I was told from a "bro trust me" source but I always thought they were somewhere between EK and Northrend

[FuxieDK]

My guess is west of the Maelstrom, north of Kezan.

It was there on several early concept maps.

Ah yesh that's where I have it from. Altho I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they're gonna retcon that and put it on the west side of the Maelstrom since Zuldazar/Kul Tiras is on the east side.

It cannot be there. The Dragon Isles wasn't part of Kalimdor pre-Sundering. Most likely it will be between Northrend and EK.

Hence why I said retcon, watch Blizzard do it to make one island expansion on each side of the Maelstrom

Recon the announcement trailer.....?


Pretty sure a interview said North East of the Map. So my guess is close to its old planned location.

The source is a little "trust me bro". I'm not gonna look up an old April interview

[KOUNTERPARTS]

East of Northrend, north of Eastern Kingdoms.



...I've just realized how funny that reads.

Ah if they already stated it that's settled, I thought it was still up in the air except for the concept art from ages ago.

I mean it's where it's supposed to be after all, that part is starting to get a bit crowded though. I don't have the map in front of me but are the Broken Isles on that side of the map as well? EK hoarding all the islands if so, #AllianceBiasConfirmedOMG

As I said I think they've stated it and even then it was just "North East". My personal guess is North of the Quel'thalas. That's pretty empty.

According to wowpedia its this interview Interview: https://worldofwarcraft.judgehype.co...de-wow-169303/

[Raetary]

Northweast Azeroth, between EK and Northrend.

As per reveal time.

[Aucald]

In WoW's early Alpha (2004), the Dragon Isles was located to the east of Quel'Thalas (specifically the Isle of Quel'Danas), labeled "Alextrasza" in the below image.

The same location as the Dragon Isles are placed in the '01 concept map before WoW was launched.

Remains to be seen if it will remain in the same location in Dragonflight itself.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Unless they've decided to change it, it's between Lordaeron and Northrend. That's where it was in the Alpha Map, that's where we had those mystery islands on the pre-Wrath World Map.

Though with the first zone being in the north, and the fact that I'm pretty sure that's where we saw the Well of Eternity from in the trailer, I have a fear it's been moved to somewhere around Pandaria.

[MCitra]

Because on some videos i saw speculating, the DF announce video shows mealstrom in the distance. But if it is located north of Eastern Kingdom that view is pretty blocked by broken isle no?

[Saltysquidoon]

Dragons have always been pretty heavily associated with the north of the world, also based on gameplay I've seen the zone looks like a boreal forest.
Based on the above I'd say north west of the eastern kingdoms

We won't blame blizzard for three or more inconsistencies. Btw, some of those " broken Isles " were supposed to be underwater , it's been changed to the tomb of sargeras only and then dropped completely, so who knows.

Other point, the world is round , you don't see the base of the maelstrom from afar, juste the top

[Sanguinerd]

I know it's not but always thought they'd be in the sky floating somehow (with magic or something). But probably between Kalimdor and Northrend I suppose.

Well, the part of broken isles that was submerged was the broken shore iirc. so it hasn't been dropped.
