On virtual worlds and continental errors.

problems with the continent of kalimdor message on the world of warcraft login screen

Tried to log into Warcraft today and this is the message that was waiting for me (along with the presence of the server I use on the referenced list). I love the way a comment like “visiting this continent may result in disconnection” is so obviously oxymoronic, and yet completely serious. Would you mess around in a world like that? Would you take the risk just to see what’s up with the Big-K?

A sampling of weird things that come to mind when I read this:

“But Kalimdor is my home!”

“Where will all the Horde go?”

“Did I log out when I was on Kalimdor?”

“Does the zeppellin still work?”

“Have I become a crazy person?”
