Playing World of Warcraft: Legion takes me back to some of my favorite WoW moments. About 11 years ago, in the time of Vanilla WoW, I fell into a hole. I’d been questing in the Badlands region and searching for herbs when suddenly I found myself in a hidden tomb where an old, rotted warrior sat in a throne with a sword by his side. No one else I knew knew of it at the time; for a while it was my private surprise. And as a longtime Conan fan, I admired the way I’d come across it by chance much like Arnie running from the wolves onscreen in 1982.
Last night in Legion I had a similar moment. It wasn’t garnished by any pop-culture reference (that I know of), but while slaughtering dogs for fur in the new Viking-themed Stormheim zone I came across a cave filled with Titan statues holding up the roof in a manner reminiscent of Atlas. Lasers sliced across the cave, presenting a small challenge for anyone going for the treasure chest at the end. I just sat there looking at it for a while, admiring the ways that World of Warcraft’s world design can still surprise me all these years later.
