For a while, co-lead Schramm was searching for good WoW jokes. We seemed to come up short on things that were both clever and funny. Pick up lines, on the other hand, are more common. The in-game /flirt function ranges from corny to crass. Do you think you could do better?

Varanis of Silvermoon (NSFW) said in the Wrath forums that he’s willing to pony up his beta key to the best WoW pick-up line. Whether or not there’s truly a beta key involved many have joined in the sport. Some of the lines are pretty crass and others miss the WoW component, but there are some real gems in there. Some of my favorites are:

Everybody’s favorite trash bin, Scholomance, might be getting a revisit by Blizzard. Late last week, CM Wryxian posted on the WoW Europe forums asking players for their thoughts on the expansion, and since then, people have given it a general thumbs up — while Scholo has always had issues with too much trash in too cramped quarters (in fact, it was already revamped a few times to be tuned down — it used to be a 10 man raid equal in difficulty to UBRS), players still frequent it, and they have really enjoyed the fact that it was a branching dungeon that had some pretty cool lore associated with it — the story of Darkmaster Gandling and his school of Necromancy (and all the hot teachers there) is a good one.

Of course, what Blizzard might do with the instance, we have no idea — at this point, it’s soloable at 70, but it still does provide a great source of Argent Dawn rep, and there are actually a few epics dropping in there now. Maybe they’ll revamp it like Naxx, or it’ll be the first “old world” instance to be given a Heroic setting? Or maybe Blizzard is asking players what they think about the instance because they’re thinking of cutting it — in order to introduce some new leveling content in the Plaguelands. The fact that they’re asking about it at all means that there must be something in store for Gandling’s old school, but what that is, we have no idea.
