Hayven Games 2026-09-20 | Wow Alpha Exploration - Player Housing, then and now

Last Video - Rest in peace, Hayven

Hayven Games 2017-04-24 | Hayven passed away on the 18th of Mars 2017, 26 years old.

He was an inspiration to many and someone who cared immensely about his fans and community.

Hayven had fought epithelioid sarcoma, a rare and severe form of cancer that usually affects teenagers and young adults.

You will always be missed Hayven, and although you lost to cancer, you have forever won our hearts.

All earnings from Hayvens YouTube channel and Patreon will from now on be donated to cancer research.

Hayven Games 2016-06-16 | I wanted to make this quick update as it has been confirmed that Thal'Dranath has officially been scrapped for - as Ion explained it - a better idea. This makes Thal'Dranath very similar to Farahlon, but with one minor difference. Farahlon was scrapped without anything else given in return, while we have now been promised something "cooler" instead of Thal'Dranath. Let me know what you think - is this enough for you to accept the scrapping of the zone or not? Enjoy!

Gems From the Wow Development Maps

Hayven Games 2016-06-06 | Today we take a look at some assets found on the Wow development maps. These files have a lot of neat assets too small to get their own videos, which is why I bundled three of them into one. Let me know if you want more bundles like these, the devmaps are filled to the brink with cool things to see. Enjoy!

How Karazhan EVOLVED From Warcraft I to Legion

Hayven Games 2016-05-19 | Today we look back through the game files and explore how Karazhan has evolved from the very first alpha builds to what we have today. The main focus will lie on Alpha-Wod since we still not know for sure to what extent Karazhan will be present in Legion. This is the evolution of Medivh's Tower. Enjoy!

How it REALLY Looks - Blackwing Lair

Hayven Games 2016-05-12 | Blackwing Lair has been requested many times, and today we are taking a look at how it REALLY looks. Implemented in patch 1.6, the BWL map file was actually in the game files since day 1 of Wow's release. The entire raid takes place within the Blackrock Mountain, but the map file is much bigger than that. Enjoy!

[Fan-Project] QuelThalas Restoration (Very Early Work in Progress)

Hayven Games 2016-05-08 | Long time subscribers may remember that I sometimes post fan-projects like machinimas or similar. This is one of those projects.

With the rebuilding of Stormwind Park, I thought it would be fun to imagine how Quel'thalas would look if it was actually restored. A revamped Silvermoon/Eversong is something that many players ask for but sadly time seems to stand still in the elven lands. Anyway, I decided to play around with the map to imagine what it would have looked like before it fell to the scourge. This said I am not trying to make a replacement for the live content, but a complete restoration of the two zones as they would have been before/without the corruption. The main purpose of doing this is to recreate Quel'Thalas as a High Elven land for a specific roleplaying project.

This is a showcase of a bit under 10 hours of work - which means what you see is FAR from done.

Wow Secrets - Programmer Isle

Hayven Games 2016-04-25 | Programmer Isle is a pretty well known hidden location in Wow. It used to be located off the coast of Eastern Kingdoms until The Burning Crusade when it was moved to an instanced devmap. While there's already a lot of coverage on it, it's long overdue on this channel. It was available from the earliest alpha build to the very last vanilla patch and it looks slightly different depending on what version you explore. This is from the first vanilla patch. Enjoy!

How it REALLY Looks - The Culling of Stratholme

Hayven Games 2016-03-10 | Today we look at how The Culling of Stratholme really looks. The dungeon was created with a cut out piece of Eastern Plaguelands as its foundation, and traces of this still lingers outside the boundaries of where you usually play within this instance.
