The contents of the fountain has inspired a question that’s been making the rounds through the WoW community: If you had a coin in that fountain, what would it say? What wish or musing would be left on it? I posed the question to the WoW Insider team to see what they would come up with, ranging from the silly to the serious, from speaking in-character to speaking as a player. Here’s what they (we) had to say…
Combining the two is a recipe for success, I think! I really enjoyed the ability to get a little glimpse into the mind of various lore characters, and it was offered up in a pretty interactive way. It’s not only the fun quotes, but a sense of discovery accompanies each new coin.
Adam Holisky:
My Alliance Warrior: “What part of ‘follow my target’ came out in Orcish?” My Alliance Shaman: “That Hunter gear looks so nice…” Alex Ziebart:
My Priest’s coin would say something like, “I wish I could have done more.” My coin? “Why won’t Mike take me to prom?” Chase Christian: My Rogue would wish to never been seen unless he wanted to be seen.
Daniel Whitcomb: My in-character wishes…
My Tauren Warrior would wish for a sandwich. You can have a sandwich too. My Human Warrior would wish to understand why he should do less damage with two huge maces each the size of his entire body than a Rogue does with a couple of daggers. My Draenei Shaman would wish for a hat he could wear visibly. My Orc Shaman would wish for me to hurry up and get him to 80. And a hat he could wear visibly. Michael Sacco: “How long has my Flametongue Weapon been off?”
Just like the coins in-game, our responses varied pretty wildly. A few serious wishes (Sylvanas, Tirion), a few silly wishes (Archimonde, Danath), and the occassional shattered 4th wall (Arthas, Anduin). Now I pass the question on to all of you. What would your coin say?My Human Death Knight: “Remember.” My Night Elf Druid: “I wish to go home.” My Dwarven Hunter: “I’m doing pretty good. Ain’t got much to wish for. Maybe a new hunting rifle?” My Human Warlock: “I wish for knowledge and power. Not necessarily in that order.” Lisa Poisso: “In memory of Philpot the Shadowfiend.”
Manda Miller:
My Hunter would wish to be loved. My Holy Paladin would wish for the ability to break curses, to finally learn the multi-layered mysteries of The Knife, and for everyone else with her hairstyle to suddenly go bald. My Death Knight would wish for the Holy Paladin’s raid slot.
