To most players, how many people are on one of WoW’s servers means very little, but high, full and low server populations do mean something specific to a person creating a new character or starting World of Warcraft for the first time.
If you have ever seen a death knight flying around on a featherless and skinless gryphon, you may wonder how you, too, can get the mount. Most other players cannot do so yet, but there is hope that the possibility will arise with the next expansion.
The apothecaries of Undercity have been hard at work on a new plague, one that completely destroys all flesh, living or undead. They’ve begun shipping this new weapon to Northrend for use against Arthas. Unfortunately, the latest shipment was waylaid by some Alliance forces and must be recovered.
It’s death (or at least discomfort) from above for Alliance reinforcements on the North Sea in the World of Warcraft “Test at Sea” quest. You’ll fly out and drop a refined version of the Forsaken’s new plague upon them as a test run. The results, however, are not what the local Apothecary hoped.
Get ready to engage in World of Warcraft’s version of “The Deadliest Catch” as you head out to hunt for giant crab near Vengeance Landing in the “Spiking the Mix” quest. The local apothecary is looking for something to improve his plague, and the toxic glands of the local Tidecrawlers fit the bill.
“Hacksaw” Jenny at New Agamand is a simple undead lady with a simple goal, to assemble the most murderous abomination of all time. She’s run out of body parts with which to build it though, and your job is to help her get ahold of a few more. All in a day’s work for the Horde in Northrend.
Feeding plaguehounds is no job for a mighty warrior of the Horde, is it? Everyone has to start somewhere, and those fresh off the Zeppelin from Tirisfal Glades are asked to help Pontius feed his dogs so they can be trained to sniff out enemy scouts in your midst.
Elder Atuik at Kamagua in Howling Fjord is ready to strike back at a group of deranged slavers who captured and then killed a large number of his people. By “ready,” though, he means he’ll send you out to do it.
It’s time for you to help the local Kalu’ak at Kamagua Village prepare themselves for the upcoming conflict with the scourge by gathering materials they use to make their weapons. The local Chimera population has some very useful items that you’ll be asked to gather. Get ready to go hunting.
The Kalu’ak of Kamagua village need your help to feed local refugees. Elder Atuik sends you out into the nearby wilderness to hunt the local shoveltusk population and hopefully return with enough meat to feed the village’s newest residents.
