Videogame Places You're Not Supposed To Go

Ssquared22 writes "The eight far-off realms in this article exist for different reasons. They could be developer test areas, or forgotten pieces of landscape that somehow made their way into the final code. Whatever their reason for being, they all have one thing in common: they weren't meant to be explored by the likes of you and me. But through persistence, hacks or some combination of the two, you can take in these rare delights for yourself. Pack your bags." What odd, interesting, or funny game locations have you wandered into?

I know of a huge forgotten area, but it's too difficult to get to for most WoW players.

It's called real life.

You're SO not supposed to go there! But if you do, a secret screen comes up with a bunch of cryptic text that nobody has yet been able to decipher.

I deciphered it, it was just a stupid ad for Ovaltine.

It's all real life. But I've heard of this mysterious land AFK, haven't explored that yet...

Second Life

I took a look at Second Life once and found all kinds of half-finished buildings and stuff!
Oh, wait...

Re:There is another undocumented area

my wife and I [..] get to a plateau on top of some of the highest mountains in the area, with a nice and beautiful view of the mountain ranges as far as your GPU will render.

For some reason that strikes me as one of the nerdiest things I've ever read. Gone are the days of "you can see x island from here on a clear day!", now it's "you can see x island from here if your graphics card can has enough memory!".
