    Good news for the folks who enjoyed visiting the vendors on the boats and zepplins after patch 2.3-- they'll be back in patch 2.3.2.Nethaera (who, it seems to me, we haven't seen on the forums in a while-- she must be busy with holiday shopping) confirms that the vendors skipped out only temporarily, and that they'll be back before you know. And no, we literally don't know when that is, but I do believe that 2.3.2 is on the PTR right now, and patch 2.4 will be the Sunwell, so it'll be before the Sunwell and after the holidays.Now if Blizzard could only figure out a way to fit a couple of vendors on the griffons and windriders, we'd be all set-- those flights can get pretty boring, too.

  • Death by elevator

    Don't lie now. Darksavior on Norgannon does a humility check: raise your hand if you've been killed by the Undercity elevator.*Raises hand.* For some reason, my characters are particularly suicidal. Or maybe just accident prone.And it's not just UC-- Azeroth is filled with crazy death contraptions. Have you died jumping off the Zepplin, or falling down off of Thunder Bluff (or that elevator)? I died once by walking off the top of one of those plateaus in Thousand Needles, and once by falling into Un'Goro crater. I even died in the Gnomeregan elevator, and a friend and I jumped off of the Stonewrought Dam just for fun (although that time, I think we lived because we fell in the water). I'm pretty sure that, way back on the first time I ever played this game, I even died (maybe even for the first time) by jumping off that tall tower in the Night Elf starting area.And Outland is no exception-- have you jumped off of Outland yet? I have. I don't think the elevator in the Mechanar has killed anyone, but there are a few good drops in Nagrand, and the drop off of Hellfire Citadel is trouble. And if you didn't finally buy your flying mount at 70, fly up as high as you could, and unsummon it just to see if you could summon it again on the way back down, you're a better man than I am. What other ignoble deaths have you suffered from-- or should I say strangely enjoyed?
