Reputation: 40 | | | Goblins are supposed to be horde right? Why would they do something with goblins in SW?
I actually think that Blizz will not use it at all... Sad but true... will be mystic forever |

I feel that it is just a temporary portion left in the game to make people come up with ideas and stories to go along with those ideas as to what it was for. :P |

| No, it's exactly the same. There is no "instance" to which that portal leads. You'd walk straight through it no matter which side you approached from. |

They scrapped the idea because it was never brought out of the alpha-sandbox concepting stage. They WERE planning on trying it, but changed their minds.
What they DO plan on using it for, from what my sources tell me, is an exit to the Stormwind Vaults. SW Vaults will be an instance (if ever) for the higher-end levels. It's a mirror in concept as the Stockades, but it was designed to retain magically-powered beings like Mages, Warlocks, etc. As to the reason why you're cracking heads? No clue; they're still concepting. But ya, possibly for Cataclysm's 80-85. Hasn't been mentioned, but it's a possibility. The instance DOES exist, but it's not in play. The portal is deactivated, but hopefully it won't be like that forever. Supposedly, when you're done, you'd end up outside the gate, or vis-versa. Still hazy on that fact though. | | |
