Moose attacks boy, feigns death, thanks WoW

http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/12/05/boy-a...ath-thanks-wow/

 

A Norweigian news site is reporting that a young boy and his sister were attacked by a moose (same thing happened to my sister once), and the boy reportedly "taunted' the moose away from his sister, and then feigned death, causing the moose to lose aggro and leave. "Just like you learn in level 30 in World of Warcraft," the boy is reportedly quoted as saying.

 

Cynic that I am, I find it hard believing any of this is true at all-- maybe one of our Norwegian readers (and I know we have them, because I met two at BlizzCon) can let us know whether "Nettavisen" is to be trusted as a source or not. But even if it is true, I'm just as hesitant to jump to praise WoW for supposedly helping as I am to condemn it for supposedly hurting.

 

Still, I'm glad the kid came out of it OK, and if WoW is to thank, all the better. Now if only he'd been able to control his DPS in the first place, he'd never have aggroed at all.

What a noob, that moose def. had epix and he let it get away.

Epic Failure.

"Yeah, but what the story doesn't say is that when the kid got up to run away he was jumped by 4 crag boars his sister also aggroed when she thought she saw a peacebloom on her minimap. He made a daring run for town where he thought he would find aid from one of the guards but ended up at the camp by the lake where the locals just stared at him while he was being mauled."

I don't know what to say to this... oh wait, yeah I do.

 

LOL WTF ROFL
