With Blizzard's desire to keep intrepid explorers out of areas that are closed or incomplete, along with rumors of banned accounts for being in closed areas, trying to explore "out of bounds" territories might not be the best idea if you wish to keep your character.
Luckily, there are some very interesting tools that will allow you to explore the game world on your local computer without the risk of Blizzard banning you from the game.
