Karazhan Part Deux

Unread post by Ikutai »

So, I just got into the beta. And what were my top three things to do?
1. Tame a silithid wasp. (Done)
2. Tame a Helboar. (Done)
3. Revisit Karazhan. Afterall, who wouldn't want to go flying around that awesome place? (Done, too, btw)

But as I was flying around I noticed something I've never seen before. A gyrphon perch and a locked gate. But what's behind the locked gate is of interest, a raid portal. Karazhan 2.0 perhaps? And possibly a flight point connector for the new content without an NPC flight master?

From what I recall, there was originally going to be a flight path to Karazhan, to the top tower, which is what the gryphon perch is most likely remnant of. It got scratched long before live. As to the portal, I'd assume it's just another entrance (from the flight path), as it's a long long drop down.

But who knows. Things could change.

The Karazhan gryphon roost is leftover from the planning phase of Karazhan. Before the teleport to Aran's room was implemented, the original plan was to have a flightpath that connected to the top of Karazhan for the convenience of groups who had already cleared most of the instance. There is currently no way to access the ledge with the roost, nor does its instance portal function.

Got that from Wowiki and they are good for these things.

Thanks! All my pets have weird names. My Loque'nahak is Islington, my Wasp is Miasma, my Beetle is Ringo, and my Helboar is Truffles. :)
