World Of Warcraft: Mounts Page Update

My first encounter with a GM was great. This was back when Taurens were not yet in the beta during the Undead-only push. A GM came into the Sepulcher, as a Tauren, at insane speed. Undead players crowded around him and started asking questions like crazy. Then the GM flexed his muscles and lied down for a bit. As I had just found a bug, I decided to talk to the GM to report it as well as use the /bug command. The GM got up and jotted down what I said.

Then, he began to dance! The Tauren dance was, and still is, the same as another dance that was already seen, but it was still hilarious to see. I hope that male Taurens get their own dance eventually.

I think he was using Plainsrunning as his speed cut out after a while, but I can't be certain. It may have just been one of the many GM "god mode" features turned way up. I hear GM's can warp to anywhere and become invisible to provide support without causing a big fuss like what happened at the Sepulcher.

Interesting fact: SOJ's are in World of Warcraft. No, not Stone of Jordan, but close enough. Staff of Jordan. I've only ever seen one equipped to a GM. It's really quite an awesome item.

GM's also have the power to make themselves uninspectable.

I've met GFraizer in the game but I didn't know what to say, so I just did a /kneel emote at him for a bit. At the time it just so happened that I could craft better shoulder pads than the ones he was wearing, but he was gone before I could offer them up. I hear that a lot of the Blizzard staff plays for fun during their lunch breaks and weekends. These guys and gals are really hooked to this game! I suppose for testing purposes they could load themselves up with all the best gear, but it appears that the vast majority of them don't do that, and prefer to earn their items.
