A Wallwalker or "Wall Walker" is a player of MMO games who pushes the boundaries of their virtual world to see how far the rabbit
hole goes. Gamers who love to explore or find
new/unusual ways around problems often refer to themselves as Wallwalkers.
The name was coined in the popular
game World of Warcraft from an old exploit/feature (that was later patched) that allowed players to
literally walk up walls when approached at the correct angle. This ability led explorers into new unseen
game territory and aided in an advantage in PVP (battlegrounds).
It was made famous by a explorer who called himself Dopefish. Dopefish released several videos of exploits and unseen areas. His movie "Noggaholic" is probably the most widely known. At the beginning of one of his movies he said he was quiting the
game and was quoted as saying "Never let the Wallwalkers fall". Shortly after the release of his movies, Wall walking was patched in the
game, but will never be forgotten.
