While dying in WoW is common, this was unusual. One of our dear readers spotted a surprisingly high number of dead bodies, all lying one next to another, in Stormwind the other day. Upon closer inspection, she realized it spelled out the name of a website. Looking it up on the old intertubes, it turned out the site in question is a gold seller.
While many WoWers aren’t big fans of gold selling, you’ve got to give these guys (albiet begrudgingly) a bit of credit. Instead of simply spamming out some irritating shouts for their site, they created a nice little advert made out of corpses. This must have taken quite a while to do, since there are 77 bodies involved (at least by my amaturish count). That’s 77 suicides and corpse runs for the gold spammer who put this together. Check out the pics:

This is a VERY common deal, it happens ( NO SHIT ) 3-4 times a week on Runetotem server US in Org. Has been happening for 3 + years in Ironforge on Mannoroth US FYI.
They don’t technically suicide – they fall to their deaths. how? teleport-hacking – I’ve seen them do it. They just teleport from the spawn point to a x,y,z coordinate above the city, and fall to the floor, spelling out that word.
I used to have a screenshot of gnomes falling from the sky in ironforge, but i’ve lost it
I’ve seen some shots of them running into the city and then just falling down in the right spot. I have no idea exactly how they die, but they do, right on the spot.
Weird
Also, it’s the same company that does this, though they own differnt websites.
Well, I suppose spelling out the same words over and over might get boring :p
Thanks for throwing my story up Pig, this is my favorite Geek news feed. For the record, I’m a male Kelly, easy mistake, worked great to hang out with girls in High School when their parents were away…”just hanging out with my friend Kelly”…:)
My bad, Kelly! And thanks for the tip, this is a great story!
