"Unknown Zones" in Isle of Dawn

[Chrisworld]

So I was exploring the other day and I remembered these chunks that are part of the IOD which were locked when the game was live still. So I teleported there and decided to see if they could be explored. Well I found out that they can indeed be explored, but to my amusement, they are incomplete on the client side. The water eventually stops working, there were some trees in the water and mountains that were super steep and had horrible textures to boot because I guess they figured no one would ever go back there.

Do you guys have any plans to using any of this content? It would be cool if we could some how edit and patch the client to make these zones usable .

Other than that, does anyone know the history behind those 8 "unknown zone" chunks or is it just as obvious "they didn't have time/money to finish them"?

I feel like they were just there for show, so it didn't look like IOD ended at the chunk ends. So it made the island look like a more complete island area without being able to actually go there in the live game. I don't think they ever intended to use it for anything.
