[@exitwound3931]

It was in the same little area of King Mrgl-Mrgl that I found perhaps the most dedicated role-player in my WoW career (which is from vanilla to present day on and off). I was engaged in some world pvp with a hordie and suddenly he gets dropped by a murloc. Then, I realize it's a human deathknight dressed as a murloc. He was just hanging out there, not moving at all, then attacked the horde guy. I asked him how long he had been there, and he said "I'm a murloc. I've been here all my life." I came back a few days later to check...and the guy was still just standing there pretending to be a murloc.

[@vhexigloss2994]

Was this on Moon Guard by chance? Was the player named Mcdohl?

[@Astroga159]

Fun fact: Arthas's men weren't eager to leave (since by that time Arthas was still super popular and a lot of men didn't actually take part in Stratholme, Arthas picked them up before the news of what happened reached them and cheesed to Northrend immediately) but didn't want to disobey direct order from the king. Arthas in return burned the ships in secret and betrayed and killed the mercenaries he hired to do so, which could be taken as his first truly evil act (since Stratholme could be taken as necessary at the time) P.S. And he actually didn't leave his men to die later on, he butchered them all personally, with Thassarian being the first to die (he actually tried to look for Arthas since the men were worried and sadly found him and was the first human victim of Frostmourne)

[@quchi7232]

Thank you, where was Thassarian when Illidan tried to destroy the Frozen Throne? Did Thassarian and Kael'thas ever meet during the battle?

[@saltyrainbowpike820]

No it wasn't neccesary, i hate it when people justify a reckless murder spree, Arthas could have done things differently without cruelly killing his own people who looked up to him.

@@saltyrainbowpike820 I personally wouldn't do it myself, but for Stratholme i understand. Plague was already there and not only would they die , but they would rise and spread the plague even more. Its a cruel way to go for people, but there was no other way to slow down the plague. Btw lets make this interesting. What would you do? What would be your answer to slowing the plague?

The San'Layn were some of Kael'thas greatest followers that fell when Illidans forces fought Arthas in Northrend, so Valanar and Kael'thas are actually connected and the "Naxxanar was merely a setback!" line is probably a reference to that.

I never quested in Howling Fjord since the starting quest that takes me to Northrend would always tell me to go to Borean Tundra and not Howling Fjord, so it's a bit odd to hear you say that Howling Fjord is where everyone first starts in Northrend, not me apparently.

[@kirarozu]

I started in Borean too but I knew you could start in the Fjord. Honestly, I'm hoping this go around most people start in HF and leave me to level in peace in BT. I think its possibly because most people hung out in IF back in the day. Since I was in SW I was able to just hop in the boat to BT.

It makes sense they changed the location of Arthas' Landing, in Warcraft 3 these new areas weren't very well thought out yet. All of Outland was originally red like Hellfire Peninsula and all of Northrend was icy like Dragonblight. When it came time to actually explore these areas in World of Warcraft they needed to give them a little more variety to keep it interesting and BAM all these new biomes and different locations where added.
