A week or so ago, someone on the Cataclysm beta forums complained that the Maelstrom’s appearance in the upcoming expansion just wasn’t epic enough. It’s a pretty silly thing to say. Valnoth, aka WoW Lead World Designer Alex Afrasiabi, apparently agreed and responded with the following: Re: The Maelstrom? Maybe I missed the memo on levels of “epicosity” or something, but I’m pretty sure the Maelstrom is a CLASS 10 epic zone. Though I guess it is missing sharks with laser beams patrolling the waters and Arthur Fonzarelli jumping across it with water skis. And dinosaurs. After reading this post I called for a meeting with TOP TOP MEN (that’s 2 tops) in order to figure out a solution to the problem at hand. Frankly, I think we hit a home run. The next 4.0 build (or the one after) should have a Maelstrom that’s between 10 – 50x more epic than what currently exists. Buckle yourselves into your computer chairs or face being blown away!

losers complain, wow world designer adds flying shark with laser.
