I wouldn't worry about it...They were talking about it on chat the first 
night it opened a week ago and people were in there.  In addition, it's 
not quite like the airport, or the secret entrance to underneath 
stormwind that could be used to get from the waste tunnel in the water 
out front to the docks where you pop out of the wall.   Those were areas 
Bliz had no intention of you being in and people were 'punished' for 
being there if caught.   Your exploration is an intended area you 
eventually will be allowed in.  Now, if quests were available that you 
could pick up and do that were only locked away by the fact the boundary 
was up,  and you could get a head start or something, then I think 
they'd have a problem.    Personal opinion of course.  :)

I remember there were lots of rumors about Blizzard banning players who 
explored the exploits as there were no real hacks in the game.  Just bad 
design by their landscape designers.  And I wonder why they let so many 
years passing by before they actually fixed them.  I still remember when 
I succeeded in getting by the wall to the basement underneath IF (wasnt 
it the dwarven king's secret?) 4-5 years ago.  A little wallclimbing and 
a mage-blink in the right second or such and you were in.  Quite 
difficult as I remember it. :)

Hadn't done that one.  I did go underneath SW though.  You had to swim 
into the left hand tunnel in the moat out front and jump up to the left. 
  If you hit it just right you fell into what was called the Stormwind 
basement.  Just a big open area, fairly well lit and if you looked 
straight up, you saw all of SW just as you would expect to see if it was 
on a piece of glass.  You could then run across and run out of a wall in 
either the trad district and one in the harbor.  You could also get in 
from the trade ditrict hole if you jumped just right and had to get 
yourself up on a lighting sconce if I remember correctly, then walk 
right in.

I haven't tried since Wrath, but I can only assume they fixed them when 
they redesigned the whole castle and old kingdom when cata came out.  I 
read they had to do a lot as the areas were not designed for flying and 
many things were set up like movie props with only front and sides if 
they weren't supposed to be seen from other angles....

Okay.  I just checked the wall in the throneroom in IF and the door is 
now open.  'Old' Ironforge is completely redesigned and much larger 
since I entered it through the glitch in the wall. :)

It's been that way since MoP, at least. There are even quests that
take you down there.

First major patch in Cata I think, Children Weeks quests take you down
there to see King Magni (Horde version takes you to Thunder Bluff to
see Cairne's funeral - at least, it did, be interesting if he has a
funeral *every* year!)
