A Death Knight in World of Warcraft looks foolish. His ghoul is now in the custody of an NPC.
Some stories in World of Warcraft are so ridiculous that you have to read them twice. A Death Knight “played the hunter” and tried to leave his ghoul with the stable master. That worked too. Only now his ghoul is stuck.
Ghoul left with the stable master: On Reddit, the player Coltdaman1 reports that he, as an Unholy Death Knight, left his ghoul with the stable master. The NPC, who is actually only meant for hunter companions, apparently accepted him as a pet and now he is locked up there.
If he now uses “Raise Dead”, simply no new ghoul appears – because he is stuck with the stable master. This causes the Death Knight to lose much potential, as he is significantly weaker without the ghoul.
Bug only “available” temporarily: Many Death Knights have since tried to lock up their ghoul as well, but only a few have succeeded. The bug apparently does not occur for all players or depends on various factors. Several Death Knights have already confirmed it and stated that they had to write a ticket to be able to summon their ghoul again. Apparently, a Game Master has to fix the problem manually.
Players’ reactions are amused: Players on Reddit are amused and are commenting eagerly.
- “Just imagine the stable master’s face when the ghoul has eaten through all the animals.”
- “Maybe the ghoul just doesn’t want to go back, after all he has many cute animals here.”
- “Every few months, players find this one bug that just makes us all laugh. Thanks for that.”
It is probably only a matter of time before Coltdaman gets his ghoul back and Blizzard corrects this error. Until then: Don’t leave your ghoul with the stable master. He can’t handle it.
What was the funniest mistake you made in World of Warcraft that you can still laugh about today?
