World of Warcraft is full of Easter eggs, and some of these secrets are unveiled only after many years. In this case, paladins can rejoice …
Throw Ghostcrawler Against the Wall!
In a gigantic game like World of Warcraft, the developers constantly make little references. These can be either tributes to former employees or little jokes that they indulge in the form of Easter eggs to commemorate themselves or a certain incident in the game. Normally, these secrets are uncovered by the community quite quickly, but in this special case, it took nearly 3 years!
The toy “Rotating Table” was introduced in Mists of Pandaria and allows the player to create a table that is knocked over after a short delay. The previously hidden feature: When a paladin uses the table, there is a small chance that a blue crab appears on the table – the avatar of Ghostcrawler, a former designer of WoW.
Righteous Fury – Late Revenge
The origin of this joke lies in the past, specifically at the release of Wrath of the Lich King. At the start of the expansion, retribution paladins were overpowered and could handle any challenge in PvP and PvE on their own. After that, Ghostcrawler announced that he would nerf paladins “TO THE GROUND” (which also happened shortly thereafter). In the following years, he repeatedly joked about how much fun it was for him to continually weaken paladins.
The rotating table obviously alludes to exactly these incidents – now paladins can still show the former developer what they think of his balancing plans.
