One is in Darkshore, we've all seen it; the giant sword sticking out of the shell; possible dead, more then likely sealed away.
One in Silithus : C'thun
One in Northrend : Yogg - Saron
2 more out there somewhere, but no, there were only ever 5 Old gods on Azeroth.
The "old god in darkshore" isn't an old god. It's a leuitenant of an old god - it says so in the Darkshore quest chain. The lore states that before it took 20 stone gaints sent by the titans to take down. During the quest chain, the Twilights Hammer cultists actually manage to summon a shade of it that you need to kill.

Blizzard has said that it is not an old god underneath Tirisfal Grove, however it is something very evil.
The quest chain in Darkshore says that it is not an old god at the master's glaive, but one of their leuitenants.
As of mists, one old god(Y'shaarj) is said to have died on Pandaria(killed by a titan), resulting in the sha being created to haunt Pandaria forever.
Also confirmed, there is another old god, N'zoth, that was responsible for both the emeral dream and the puppeteering of Deathwing. He was meant to be realeased in Cata, but it never hapened.
So, the CONFIRMED list of old gods is as follows:
1. Y'shaarj - killed by a titan tens of thousands of years ago.
2. C'thun - defeated by players in Ahn'Qiraj Temple
3. Yogg-saron - defeated by players in Ulduar
4. N'zoth - gone missing after its failure with Deathwing and the Cataclysm. mentioned by Warlord Zonozz in Dragon Soul
If there are, in fact 5 of them, we have yet to see two of them directly. One has not been heard from at all and N'zoth was working through the emerald dream and Deathwing.

Lol, way to not read the rest of the thread where we've already said that =).

HOLY !@#$ ADAM GOT SOMETHING WRONG I CANT BELIEV- oh no never mind it was posted in 2009 this is just some lame attempt at correcting outdated information, the "L" of the L&RP section remains as dead as ever, Ill be going now...

To be fair, I necro'ed this up when they actually revealed that one of the Old Gods had died and was the reason behind the Sha; was hoping it would get some discussion millage.

Also, the "L" of L&RP is just as alive as ever. Just check the discussion thread at the top.

there is always the possibility that there is an old god in uldaman seing as so far titan buildings have old gods geograficly close to them
cthun is
very
close to uldum (perhaps a prison break)
and yogg-saron is in ulduar

Not really dude, there used to be a bunch of active threads up on the main board every day discussing lore at the beginning of Caty, now its just the general discussion :(

Meh, it's slow right now, but there's still discussion going on.

Mainly because most of the new Lore doesn't really need endless threads to discuss it; but all of the forums except for General are like that.
As for the RP section of this, that's still a thriving community heh.

Lol now that I think of it most of the Caty lore discussions were pretty repetitive.
At least 50% were people asking questions that somebody else would say belonged in the general discussion, 30% were threads about who was more evil the Horde or Alliance, 10% was me and Adam arguing about whether or not Deathwing was really going to be the last boss of the expansion, and then the remaining 10% was mostly about the Old Gods and Azshara.
Heh good times

Didn´t it say somewhere that the Titans could not kill the Old Gods, or else Azeroth would be destroyed as well? So how could they kill Y'shaarj without any consequences on Azeroth?
Or was he one of the Old Gods (if not the only one) not to be completely tied to Azeroth just yet?

As things are always fluid...remember, till the Seven Headed One was revealed, it was thought to be C'thun who had been 'killed'. It's possible that when the Forger group killed Y'shaarj that's when they found out the consequences of killing an Old God: A powerful miasma released that has since mutated into the Sha and threaten all live on Azeroth. Possibly they thought killing the other 4 would result in more corruption being released on their new planet, so they sealed away them away rather then risk it happening again.
Edit: Also, I'm still looking forward to when they reveal the final 7th Sha.

Er threaten all Life on Azeroth*
And since they have Anger, Despair, Doubt, Violence, Hatred and Fear, the last one should be interesting when it's revealed.

Sha of Loneliness?

I must´ve missed something, but what´s the significance of seven Sha´s? Must have something to do with Y'shaarj´s seven heads, no?

From the last breath of the Seven Heads, the Seven Sha were created and from those Seven the Sha corruption has spread.

Where did you get that? Obviously it´s a logical conclusion, but all i ever find is that Y'Shaarj infested Pandaria with "shadows of his former self", that being the Sha. Must it really be Seven Sha?
But where is the Seventh then? Still lurking somewhere? As i´m typing this i have this theory of the Sha of Grief, surfacing in the end, when the war is over, having taken its toll, having claimed many victims, the despair of the people who lost their loved ones, presenting the power for this seventh Sha to surface. But then again Garrosh is supposed to be the final obstacle of this expansion. I also have the theory (i think many will do, because it´s kinda obvious) that Garrosh will be taken over by the Sha energies, or a single Sha, which is the reason for him turning into a villain. The Sha of Anger or Hatred are predestinated to infest him i think, because of obvious reasons, but they are defeated i think? I still don´t fully grasp the concept of the Sha to be honest. So they are basically indestructible? Blizzard also curiously (i found that curious at least) put emphasis on Y'Shaarj being very, very dead, so i think they could very well revive him, and this because of the Sha growing strong enough to reform into him/her again. Or maybe just into an Avatar of this Old God.
