Our favorite ways to die in World of Warcraft
It's safe to say that we've been around the block in World of Warcraft. We've been witness to epic events, scenic vistas, and many, many untimely deaths. Mostly our own. But of those many deaths, some were more memorable than others. Some we've stored away in the recesses of our memory to be revisited and laughed over at a later date. So just what are our favorite WoW deaths? We consulted the WoW Insider team as well as some of our extended network of friends and compiled the best answers into this list. You might want to look before you leap WoW can be so beautiful that sometimes we forget it's a game. A game that can kill you. And so sometimes we find ourselves exploring, wandering, or accidentally autorunning to our doom. Oops. Many -- most, in fact -- of our so-called "favorite" deaths seem to involve untimely falls. Sarah Pine: My favorite way of having died was when I first made it to Hellfire Peninsula at 60, running around on my mount exploring (flying was at 70 at that time!), I leaped over a little hill only to find that there was no more land on the other side, because that was the edge of the continent. You fall for a while off of Hellfire before you actually die, I found out. Anne Stickney: Once I decided to see if Outland had invisible walls around the edges. Um, for the record, it does NOT. Brian Wood: I still have fond memories of a multitude of deaths from failing the shortcut jump to get to the Molten Core entrance in vanilla. Had lots and lots of opportunity to practice during ghost runs. Michael Sacco: I liked going to the top of the Temple of Storms and leaping off. @DoctorOddfellow: Well, #1 has to be tree-diving from Teldrassil, right? @hestiahdruid: Shadow Step, Heroic Leap, or the Druid version behind a boss to fall to your doom. @screwlewse: Falling into the lava where Magmaw stands.
