Edited after I read my post and decided it was rather cynical and melodramatic.

First up - Wu

I'm sure more will be forthcoming. Thanks.

It's a reference to a song title - and was something that was spoken about in a Q&A with Steve, possibly a throw-away reference a long long time ago and I can't be arsed to look it up right now. It's probably not the real name of the realm and I doubt that we will ever know what it is really called. Does it really matter? Does it matter why Earth is called Earth?

OK so I was right about what it referenced to at any rate, and now I know why I couldn't place a name to it lol.

Thanks.

I think it was justified -- the majority of WoW players are arseholes (I pride myself on (attempting) to be one of the few non-arseholes) but don't get me started on that! xD

You can get back on topic now...
