Still no plans for Gilneas release in future content

Sometimes, it’s the disheartening bits of news that reaches our doorsteps that really puts a damper on our day. That being said, we’re still obliged to report it, perhaps especially because it’s news that everyone ought to know, whether they want to or not.

According to a recent comment by Blizzard poster Bornakk, it seems there are still no plans to bring some choice Azerothian destinations, specifically Gilneas, into World of Warcraft any time soon. This was picked up in a post made by Vaslyth of the Sisters of Elune server, who asked if Gilneas would ever see the light of day in the playable game world.

Bornakk’s reply was short and bittersweet. “At this time, the nation of Gilneas which stands behind the Greymane Wall remains a secluded mystery,” Bornakk writes. “One day we may see the portcullis and the region open to visitors and explorers alike, but we do not know when or if that day will come.”

To those uninitiated in WoW lore, Gilneas was once known as one of the most powerful cities in Azeroth. Due to an isolationist political policy, however, it closed its borders off to other kingdoms with its current state still left hanging. In game terms, the physical geography of Gilneas has yet to be established, with only a gate – the remainder of the Greymane Wall – being the only placeholder for the actual area itself.
