Last week a Blizzcon attendee stumped ‘World of Warcraft’ developers when he found an error in the story. Blizzard responded by adding him to the game.
When a game gets a cult following like the one behind Blizzard’s World of Warcraft, there are bound to be some die hard fans. At Blizzcon this year a fan asked a question during a panel discussion with WoW’s developers, confirming a error between the lore and the world in Cataclysm. Strangely reminiscent of the Simpsons episode where Comic Book Guy called out the Itchy and Scratchy writer, this particular fan was then dubbed the Red Shirt Guy.
The question that stumped the developers was particularly detailed, but the method of delivery is what really made the Red Shirt Guy standout.
“Hello. I just finished reading The Shattering yesterday, and I noticed something. It said that Falstad Wildhammer was going to be on the Council of Three Hammers, but in the beta, it’s Kurdrin Wildhammer, and Falstad is not in the game at all. What happened to him?”
