References and Innuendos Changed or Removed Throughout World of Warcraft PTR posted 2 days ago by Archimtiros While a PTR usually focuses on new content, Patch 9.1.5 testing has been the subject of widespread attention after revealing changes to some very old and sometimes obscure parts of the game. Following Blizzard's statement on updating references within World of Warcraft, which called the updates part of a company-wide effort to update parts of the game which were outdated and inconsistent with their values, we took a deeper look at the PTR to find out what else has changed throughout the game. W BILZZARD Blue Tracker| Official Post X Blizzard Goofy jokes and occasional mature innuendos are part of WoW, and probably always will be. Still, we want to remain mindful of whether certain elements of that world are welcoming to all players. In short, we want our jokes to be inclusive and not punch down. Den of Mortal Delights - Black Temple (Burning Crusade) Players were quick to check out the Black Temple's Den of Mortal Delights after our report that Karazhan had been updated to include male versions of many mob types, finding many of the same changes present inside llidan's fortress on Outland. On live servers, the harem is almost entirely populated by female courtesans and concubines, but many of these now include male versions and several of the NPCS have been renamed to appear somewhat less licentious. While changes do not eradicate the theme entirely, it does change the atmosphere - no longer are the women all working courtesans enthralling the few men found within the area. • Temple Concubine is now the gender neutral Temple Acolyte. Charming Courtesan is now the gender netural Charming Patron. • Spellbound Attendant were previously one of the only male models in the Den, is now Ardent Host. • Enslaved Servant, one of the other male models, are now called Devoted Steward. Some of the demons located within the Den and on the way to Mother Shaahraz have also been renamed, though rather than aiming for inclusivity, the changes appear to be for the sake of consistency - now referring to all Succubus as Priestess and the Shivara as Mistress. • Sister of Pleasure is now Priestess of Delight. • Sister of Pain is now Priestess of Torment. • Priestess of Delight is now Mistress of Woe. • Priestess of Dementia is now Mistress of Torment. Sons of Hodir - The Storm Peaks (Wrath of the Lich King) Unlike the Black Temple or Karazhan, the all-male faction of Ice isn't being made more diverse by replacing the quartermaster with a female or being renamed to the Sons and Daughters of Hodir, but many of the quests that players may remember grinding day in and out to unlock exalted shoulder enchants have been renamed to avoid various sexual innuendos. Turns out, the Sons of Hodir have a pretty bawdy sense of humor! • ! Blowing Hodir's Horn is now Hodir's Call. • ! Mounting Hodir's Helm is now Placing Hodir's Helm. • ! Raising Hodir's Spear is now Forging Hodir's Spear. ! Thrusting Hodir's Spear is now How to Slay Your Dragon. • ! Polishing the Helm is now A Viscious Cleaning. • ! Jormuttar is Soo Fat... is now Culling Jorcuttar. • The sole NPC change, Jormuttar has also been renamed Jorcuttar in line with the quest above. Eredath - Argus (Legion) It should come as no surprise that several item, quest, and NPC references across Argus have been changed, following the renaming of the Draenei capital Mac'Aree to Eredath in order to disassociate from former employee Jesse McCree. • ! Mac'Aree, Jewel of Argus is now Eredath, Jewel of Argus. • Z The Purple Hills of Mac'Aree, along with its various pages and chapters, all now refer to Eredath. Argus catch up gear catch up gear, such as 7 Mac'Aree Lightseeker's Chestpiece and O Mac'Aree Vigilant's Redoubt, are all named for Eredath. • The Argus follower equipment, Mac'Aree Armor Set, also now refers to Eredath. Other References and Innuendos While they don't fall into the common sections outlined above, we've found several other individual item, quest, and NPC references which have been changed across the game. While some of these are expected changes which remove references to former employees, others adjust innuendos along the same lines as the Big Love Rocket being renamed X-45 Heartbreaker. Quests • The Great Fras Siabi has already been renamed ! The Great Ezra Grimm on live servers. • ! Opening the Backdoor is now Cell Block Tango. • ! Going Bearback is now Bearly Hanging On. • ! ? Got Wood? is now Got Lumber? • ! Just the Tip is now A Strange Disc. • ! ? Nothin' Says Lovin' Like a Big Stinger is now The Respect of Another. • ! Premature Explosionation is now Exploding Through. • ! O Patrice Lancaster Sends Word is now The Chief Surgeon. • ! ? Meet With Avaros Dawnglaive is now Follow the Sun. • ! Camel Tow is now Camelraderie. • ! A Case of Crabs is now Crate of Crab Meat. Items • 7 Wirt's Third Leg is now Southsea Lamp. • 7 Diana's Pearl Necklace is now Nacreous Shell Necklace. O The "D" Ring is now Commemorative K3 Expedition Ring. Tweedle's Tiny Package is now Tweedle's Tiny Parcel. Case of Crabs is now Crate of Crab Meat. A Wu-Lai, Bladed Fan of the Consorts is now Wu-Lai, Bladed Fan of the Empyreans. • Foror's Crate of Endless Resist Gear Storage has already been renamed TA Very Large Bag on live servers, though it's worth pointing out that this item is unobtainable and was only found on premade characters during the original Burning Crusade PTR. NPCS Jessera of Mac'Aree has already been renamed Maatparm. Charles Etienne has already been renamed Charles Etienne. • Luis Barriga is now Wayneth Antonius. • Scarlet Lord Jesseriah McCree is now Scarlet Lord Borugh. • Crafticus Mindbender is now Tomas Riogain. Jenny McCree is now Yasmina Nerossa. • Crafticus Mindbender is now Magister Langley. Cheng Lish is now Ding'le. • Damsel by the Shore is now Dweller by the Shore. • Damsel in the Cliffs is now Dweller in the Cliffs. • Damsel of the North is now Dweller of the North. Spanks is now Nanners. • Master Baiter is now Jiang Ziya. Interestingly, the Chinese noble Jiang Ziya is the subject of an 11th century BC proverb, "Grand Duke Jiang goes fishing- a willing person takes the bait" (AANA - DZ), which expresses a uniquely patient method of fishing by hanging a straight hook three feet above the water with no bait. Like fish rising to his line, it refers to a victim willfully allowing themselves be caught in a trap.

I remember during blizzcon some random brat asked the team to make characters that didn't look like supermodels. The one time there is an overweight woman who is somewhat attractive instead of drop-dead stunning and dangerously thin? She's a villainess who dies mid-expansion as an ugly beast. Blizzard ain't woke. They just broke.

Now, I understand renaming things that were name after an employee now that that employee no longer works there, but I'm sure many people have already wrote these changes off as one of Blizzard's classic smokescreens.

These changes are mostly performative activism at best. Other games can have innuendos and not have a bunch of creeps on the development team. FFXIV squeezes a lot more out of its Teen rating than WoW ever did.
