Welcome to the Machine

I am not usually one to give away quests in detail but this is different.  This quest just proves that Metzen and his staff are geniuses.  I'll admit part of the reason to blog this is to preserve it for myself.  I'm not giving it all away, just enough to give you the gist of how full of win this quest is!

It is not a follow up quest, anyone can go and pick it up at the border of Silverpine and Hillsbrad.  You should go get it.  Seriously.  Your life will not be complete without it.

When you get there they put you straight to work.  As a quest giver!  This made my inner geek jump up and down inside and yell "THATS RIGHT!".  You are asked to give out three quests.  Your first quester arrives shortly...




Yep you read it right, its Dumbass.


Dumass says: HI! HI! HELP! 

Dumass says: HI! HI! HELP! 

Dumass says: HI! I'M NEW! BIG WHITE LIGHT CREATURE WITH WINGS MADE ME ALIVE! I SERVE THE BANSHEE QUEEN! YAY! 
HELP! 
HI! 


Just admit it you know Dumass.  This patch unearthed Dumbass.  It turns out Dumbass is in all of our guilds.


Next on your list of quest seekers is Orkus.




Kingslayer Orkus says: I have seen the fall of the Lich King. Creations of the titans have fallen before my mighty axe. When called upon, I alone spearheaded a victory for the Argent Crusade against the beasts of Northrend. Now, I come for the ultimate challenge. What does Hillsbrad Foothills have to offer Kingslayer Orkus?


Um... Apparently there are bloodthirsty worgen running rampant in the south. Maybe you could help with them? 


Kingslayer Orkus says: Bloodthirsty you say? Is there any risk of death or dismemberment to me?


None.

Kingslayer Orkus says: Then Orkus WILL DO IT! YES!



I know this guy.  I used to be this guy :\




Last and by no means least, your third quest seeker....




That's right its Johnny Awesome.  


Johnny Awesome says: That's all? One quest? Surely you jest. Are there not bear asses to collect? Perhaps a rare flower that I could pick from which you will make some mildly hallucinogenic tonic which you will then drink, resulting in visions of a great apocalypse? Perhaps the local populace of mildly annoying, ill-tempered gophers are acting up and need to be brought to justice? No? Nothing? 


This guy and his follow up quests alone are worth the past 6 years subscription fees.  


I will spoil it no further but honestly, stop whatever you are doing and take your horde character (min level 19) to the road where Hillsbrad meets Silverpine and do this quest.  Now.  Stop reading and go do it.


*FULL QUEST, TOTAL SPOILER*

  1. LOL. I did that quest line last weekend and it was hilariously fun? Any idea if there is any as fun on the Alliance side or is Blizz showing its preference for the Horde again?

  2. Its funny, I leveled at the initial release as Horde and I can tell you this favoritism did not exist at all. :)
