** Early on, Thrall's reasoning for settling the orcs in Durotar rather than the more fertile surrounding lands was said to be both a show of penance for their brutal ways during the First and Second Wars and because the land's harsh ruggedness was reminiscent of their homeworld of Draenor. True enough, Durotar does resemble the parts of Outland shown in ''Warcraft 3''. However, those areas (Hellfire Pennisula and Shadowmoon Valley) were later established to be blasted hellscapes from heavy Fel corruption and their natural state were lush forests not disimilar from the nearby Ashenvale. Thrall's reason was changed to be purely about paying penance and many orcs were indicated to not be entirely happy about being forced into a harder life as a result. Setting the stage for ''Cataclysm'', where the Horde invades Ashenvale to claim it for their own.

** Static examples:
*** Themost noticeable one Horde and Alliance [[ForeverWar will always be at war or on the verge thereof]], no matter what other conflicts arise and no matter how [[ConflictBall idiotic]] its leaders have to remain to enforce this.
*** Unless completely removed (or phased; see below for more on this), all major encounters, bosses, and dungeon enemies will respawn a certain time after being defeated, no matter how many times you've killed them before. You can still go and kill Onxyia in her lair, despite her being canonically dead in theoriginal game was main storyline and ''an undead version'' of her being an encounter in Blackwing Descent. Similarly, Ragnaros is still fightable in Molten Core, despite having been canonically summoned and defeated there, summoned and defeated yet again in Mount Hyjal, and being the end boss of the Firelands raid.
*** As if to rub it in, quests exist that can be repeated daily for progressive rewards, even if these focus on killing the exact same NPC you defeated the day before. There are multiple lampshadings of this, however, including the "Glop, Son of Glop" quest in Deepholm which functions on the conceit that the badguy you're killing today is the ''absolutely identical son'' of the previous one, ad infinitum; and a quest giver in Tol Barad Peninsula who remarks on how uncanny it is that he receives a new set of orders every day at exactly 3 AM (which is whenplayers had to cooperate to complete daily quests reset).
** Aversions or attempted aversions:
*** Holiday events come and go periodically, with their associated [=NPCs=] and buildings spawning for the duration, then disappearing once it's over.
*** Various one-time events have heralded the introduction of new content, particularly before each expansion, and also with some content patches like the War Effort pre-Ahn-Qiraj, the Scourge Invasion pre-Naxxramas (with an upgraded version pre-''Wrath of the Lich King''), the building of the Argent Tournament, andopen the gates retaking of Ahn'Qiraj. The game world also changes for the periodic holiday events, adding new objects and [=NPCs=].
**Isle of Quel'Danas. In many cases this results in {{permanently missable|Content}} special rewards. In a counter-aversion, some of the [=NPCs=] related to these events are still around to accept any left-over tokens or quest turn-ins, even though the events are long gone, never to return.

**''Cataclysm'' turned PerpetuallyStatic on its ear and kicked it in the balls -- in addition form of entire zones dedicated to utterly changing [=PvP=], with battles fought every two hours for control of the face zone and its associated quests/dungeons.
*** ''Wrath ofAzeroth as we know it, the expansion took advantage of phasing like never before, altering Lich King'' introduced a technique called "phasing" to the terrain main quest lines, which allows zone features and [=NPCs=] to appear differently for players after they've passed certain quest milestones. One major use of this is in the Death Knight starting zone, which changes dramatically as you complete quests. For you, that is. That village you attacked may look conquered and on fire to you, but to a Death Knight who has yet to complete the attack quest, it's still full of Scarlet Crusade.
*** With the ''Cataclysm'' expansion, the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor have been completely redone thanks to Deathwing's emergence and subsequent rampage. Of course, this leaves the world inaddition a Perpetually Static state of having ''just'' suffered this wave of destruction. Parodied by the repair crew trying to objects move a fallen statue outside Stormwind City, who cannot agree on how to move the statue, and [=NPCs=] the foreman tells you they'll probably be there "for a long, long time."
*** ''Cataclysm'', however, vastly expands the phasing system. Players will start seeing the world change around them as a result of their actions by level 15 or so now, although the same caveat -- other playersprogressed through see the story.
** Inzone as a result of ''their'' actions or lack thereof, not yours -- still applies.
*** Several outdated quests have been removed from the game. Examples include the quests after the [[WhamEpisode Angrathar the Wrathgate quest]], which lead up to the Battle for the Undercity (which involve meeting with Thrall, who has since left the Horde to help the Earthen Ring in ''Cataclysm''). The quests to save Princess Moira Bronzebeard from Thaurissan are no longer in the game, as she is now part of the Concil of Three Hammers, but still appears in the boss encounter with Thaurissan unless the players have done the quest to save her already, in which case a Dark Iron Priestess replaces her.
*** Thrall has members of the Kor'kron elite guard replace the abominations that used to guard the Undercity after the horrific consequences of Varimathras and Putress' betrayal at the Wrathgate to make sure nothing like that happens again, and because most of the abominations were killed when the Horde retook the city. The guards, referencing the events, express contempt and distrust for undead players and give words of caution to non-undead players when spoken to. They, however, are present for players who have not completed the Wrathgate quest chain yet, and if spoken tounlock before then, say that they are here to guard the Molten Front, after completing one quest, [[spoiler:Hamuul Runetotem]] is badly burned and some city because most of the daily quests involve healing him.

* NewbieImmunity: Resurrecting at a Spirit Healer, as opposed to finding and recovering your corpse, normally incurs Resurrection Sickness, which significantly reduces your health and damage and basically makes you useless in combat for 10 minutes. However, players under level 10 can resurrect at a Spirit Healer with no penalty, and up to level 20 Resurrection Sickness has reduced duration.

* MinusWorld: There are some unfinished zones as well as places where it's possible to fall outside the game world. Most of such places have been made inaccessible though. Examples include a village of dancing trolls (near Darkshore, if memory serves), Mount Hyjal, the Ironforge Airfield (you actually fly above it if you take the gryphon from anywhere within southern Eastern Kingdoms to the northern Eastern Kingdoms, but actually having time to see what's going on is more fun. Hint: Dwarves killing ice trolls. Fun!), and an area under Stormwind that was basically just unfinished texture patches. You'll usually get teleported out of these areas by a GM and sanctioned for entering them, which has led many players to question Blizzard's decision to still leave areas such as the dancing troll village 'accessible' (to be fair, Mount Hyjal shouldn't have been accessible without using exploits or wall climbing).
** The ''Cataclysm'' expansion finally made accessible all of the formerly closed zones in the old world, including Hyjal, the Dancing Troll Village, and the Ironforge Airfield.
** Other notable areas include a prototype of Outland, the Emerald Dream, the Karazhan catacombs, fake Zul'Gurub, an untextured prototype of Zin-Azshari, fake Northrend, sealed-off pieces of Silvermoon, GM Island and Developers' Island. Most of those can only be accessed via third-party tools.
** There are also myriad ways to "fall through the world." placing you in a bizarre freefall where you can run around under the continent, but not cast anything or recall back to the real world. Sometimes the game will detect this glitch and drop you to a set area that seems to be the official graveyard for Minus World (Sentinel Hill for Alliance, Crossroads for Horde).
*** One of the weirdest was the "Dwarf Farm Tunnel" in Wetlands. Originally, there was a Dwarf farm on the northern face of the mountain containing Ironforge. Up the road from it was a tunnel entrance that, when entered, would cause you to fall through the world and into an area of blank sky. It was the same as falling off of Outland. You would fall until you eventually died. If you were stupid enough to fall in as a ghost, your only hope was to pray that the weird circular movement you moved in would somehow launch you back up onto land. Some people were able to jump through this tunnel and fall through the blank sky without dying. When this happened you would see nothing but blank sky, yet the radar would show you traveling South (the direction that the end of the tunnel was facing.) You could not control your movement, and if you passed "under" terrain that you had not yet explored, you would be awarded with the experience points of having "discovered" the land. Once you passed "under" water, you would stop moving and you would hear the sound of yourself swimming without the risk of drowning (though if out in the ocean one could get fatigued, which was the only way to end this perpetual underworld traveling.) Swimming under lakes would allow you to change directions until you were no longer "under" the water, at which point you would resume traveling in whichever direction you were moving without being able to alter direction or speed. Of course it was a little difficult to get to this tunnel, and as of Cataclysm, it's sealed off.
*** And now with the launch of Cataclysm allowing flight in old world, if you do manage to glitch beneath the terrain you can fly around safely down there. Dangers abound, however. Flying into a "No flight allowed" region will dismount you to your death, and water seems to extend infinitely down.
** Currently, the old Pre-Cataclysm version of Eastern Kingdoms is accessible as a minus world via Naxxramas. This also has a small "minus sub-zone" in the undeveloped original planned entrance to Naxxramas (had the entrance to Naxxramas been the raid portal at the back of Stratholme.)

Obvious Beta is YMMV. Cleanup: (re)moving wick from trope/work example lists
Deleted line(s) 355,366 (click to see context) :
* ObviousBeta:
** A more mild example. The game was playable but there were still a lot of bugs and issues with balancing, and in some cases, the developers intentionally left things as an ObviousBeta so that they can go rework it or add more stuff in a later patch. Some of these include:
** The endboss of a lot of raids were intentionally made [[UnwinnableByDesign unwinnable]] so that players wouldn't storm through the dungeon so fast and be on the boards complaining that there's nothing to do. Nefarian was not even ''completely coded'' into the game yet, but when he was, it turned out to be worth the wait.
** Many raid dungeons were initially bugged, partly because they weren't completely tested. The first guild that killed Vashj had her instantly respawn and kill the raid. It was also possible to kill Arthas by throwing bombs at him, which resets the outer ring and thus makes the val'kyr unable to drop people off in Phase 2. When players are able to ignore the val'kyr, they have more freedom to position Defiles appropriately and can spend more time [=DPSing=] the boss, making Phase 2 shorter and easier.
** Silithus was an ObviousBeta ''zone''. The zone was left unfinished at launch with minimal quests leading into the zone and by patch 1.8, it was actually finished.
** This was one of the criticisms of ''Cataclysm'', which was rushed to make the release to make sure it actually made it on time. Vashj'ir had problems with mob density and respawn rates but the respawn rates weren't [[MisBlamed entirely Blizzard's fault]]. Amongst other things, it was released with a lot of bugs but was still playable. There were still some bugs after the first major content patch, too.
** Death Knights, at release. Also Paladins in patch 3.0. There was a time in ''Wrath'' beta when paladins could solo the fel reaver. They both got nerfed in short order.
*** Due to the new talent system in 5.0.4, Holy Paladins were ridiculously overpowered at lower levels - with their Holy Shock ability hitting for over 1k...at level 10. Needless to say, the nerf was nearly as quick as it was expected.
** The ''Cataclysm'' 4.2 patch completely broke the targeting system. This was especially hard on melee classes. You would hit an ability, the game would switch your current target to the closest dead enemy, give you a "your target is dead" error, but STILL put your ability on cooldown. The only workaround was to make a macro for EVERY ability to /focus current target, then cast ability on focus. It remained in this state for over *2 months* and required multiple patches to fix. 4.2 was when the Firelands raid was released, so progress in this raid was VERY VERY difficult for everyone except healers.
** ''Mists of Pandaria'' had ''Cataclysm'''s issues with respawn rates, as well as quite a few bugs. For example, the Lorewalker Stonestep encounter could pit players against [[DualBoss Strife and Peril]] or the Zao Sunseeker encounter, and the latter often glitched before it was removed until 5.2.
** Kul Tiran [=NPCs=] were clearly rushed for 8.1; they were added to the game without a ''sleeping animation'', which was very apparent in the barracks in Sagehold when they were sleeping standing up, or support for most helmets, and when they were made playable in 8.1.5 they were ''still'' unfinished with horribly bugged animations. Female Zandalari trolls, meanwhile, had a GameBreakingBug that caused the damage of some spells to take longer than usual to proc.

To add insult to the injury, most bugs were reported on beta but didn't get fixed until some time after the content was live. And even then, some content was clearly never tested properly, as dungeons on Mythic+ difficulty were often impossible to complete on time due to poor affixes and dungeon balance (several major nerfs were required in some cases with Teeming affix and dungeons like King's Rest and Shrine of the Storm), [=PvP=] titles from season 1 of the expansion rewarded ''the very second the first [=PvP=] season started'', random bugs still happening until 8.1, and so on.

* OutsideContextProblem: In ''Battle for Azeroth'', the players are sent to one of two of the islands the game takes place in, depending on their faction. This starting island houses a number of story quests to explain the context behind the dungeon levels and overall background of the island itself. After certain prerequisites are met, the player is sent to establish a foothold on the opposite island, but aside from the invasion plot, there's no story quests available for the invading player. Thus, while there's still narration for dungeon battles, the context for ''why'' the players are invading these dungeons is miniscule, so Alliance players will wonder what the big deal behind Yazma is while Horde players will see Lady Waycrest and Gorak Tul as a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere.
