8. Witching hour
In the ruins of Lordaeon, ghost voices can be heard near the throne. The votes are said to come from King Terenas and Prince Arthas.

10. Moose Attack!
The then 12-year-old Norwegian Hans Jürgen Olsen saved himself and his sister from an elk attack by using his WoW skills. Hans and his sister accidentally entered the elk’s territory and the moose attacked. Hans teased the moose to draw his attention to himself and away from his sister and then pretended to be dead so that the moose lost interest. In World of Warcraft (buy now 14,99 € ) Mockery is used to get an opponent’s attention and faking death is used to trick opponents into thinking you are dead.
