Lost Isles - phases one and two



This is the first phase of the Lost Isles goblin zone. It is the second zone in the Goblin starting quest chain, the first being Kazan (kazan is destroyed in the cataclysm. Sadly, I have no saved images of it, but it's pretty small.) The goblins begin shipwrecked on the left island, and eventually make their way to the right side. Ultimately, they make their way to the top of the volcano. This image is incorrectly labeled phase two - it actually should be phase 1.




This is the second phase of the Lost isles, after the Volcano erupts. Little is known about this second phase, but it is sure to be dramatic. This image is incorrectly labeled phase one - it actually should be phase 2.



I also randomly have this screenshot. I don't remember why I saved it, but there it is.

Azshara, Hyjal and Durotar.



Here is a zoom in which centers of Azshara. Azshara has been taken over by the goblins, and now has a green golf course, a miniature city in the bay (not a real capital, it does not connect to trade channel for instance), and all sorts of new buildings, quarries and more fun stuff. Yes, Azshara has been teraformed by the goblins into the shape of the "horde symbol".
Durotar has had a large portion flooded. There is very little new in the flooded zone other then the water. The Echo Isles are now controlled by Trolls once more, and is now a miniature city much like the Goblins. It is very pretty and dramatic close up.
You can also see the new zone Hyjal. The large lava field is the entrance to the elemental plane of fire, a raid zone featuring Ragnaros as the end boss. The zone is supposed to be heavily phased, but this image only shows a single phase.
At the far right is a totally unfinished island. This Island will be the none-instanced version of the Lost Isles, but is currently unfinished and deep in development. It is incorrectly labeled as "Undermine?"
