Is Azeroth flat?

If I sailed to the edge of the map would I fall off?

No, but Blood Elves are

/Love Blood Elves (except Demon Hunters)

Might want to go look out the window of the Vindicaar on Argus some day.

I always knew Dks had rotted brains

If maps are flat ergo Azeroth is flat

Grummle-deathwing · January 1, 2020, 5:03pm

We DKs are a pragmatic bunch!

Actually yes, the ocean ends in a giant block with a straight 90 degree angle going down. What’s holding the water back is a mystery to me and why I can’t go over this barrier.

It’s like your brain just runs into a wall right? I just keep banging into the wall Over and over and over…

Därkprayers-proudmoore · January 1, 2020, 5:03pm

You should test this. Fly out off the coast of durotar, don’t stop until you either fall off or come back around!

Grummle-deathwing · January 1, 2020, 5:05pm

Seems like a pretty straight forward idea. I’ll give it a shot and circle back with you.

Rhielle-sentinels · January 1, 2020, 5:06pm

I don’t wanna work! I just wanna bang on the drum all day!

The flat Azeroth society has members all around the globe

Mythicdruid-elune · January 1, 2020, 5:10pm

Remember Pirates of the Pirates of the Caribbean at World’s End

Fluffybunneh-earthen-ring · January 1, 2020, 5:31pm

That should be the 3rd faction: the Flat Azerothers.

Cptpain-shuhalo · January 1, 2020, 5:34pm

Theoretically, no. The maps are designed to indicate Azeroth is round (although, maybe not perfectly?). Also, physics would work very differently on a flat world, making these conditions impossible in that scenario. Gravity would not work the same on a flat world.

Camera tricks! Conspiracies! Fisheye lens! It’s all shot in a studio and projected onto the window of the ship!

Gaahr-whisperwind · January 1, 2020, 5:36pm

in the most technical sense, yes. wow’s engine can only render flat geometries. every landmass is created on a plane suspended in a skybox. should you make it to the edge, you’d find the world simply ends.

in game, azeroth is obviously supposed to be a spheroid planet, like earth.

Hawkéns-wyrmrest-accord · January 1, 2020, 5:50pm

No she’s got big old mountains so she’s definitely not flat.

she a sexy titan… But no touchy!

Grymauch-zangarmarsh · January 1, 2020, 5:53pm

I’m probably going to get in trouble for this… but…

Stares at Mt. Hyjal, then over at Blackrock Spire.

They’re… They’re not exactly symmetrical.

paw-smacks the uncouth human paladin pfff! perv
