Hello, my name is Thistle, and I'm in love with trolls... (WoW)

(No spoilers for the Zalazane's Fall event other than comments on the voice acting, no plot spoilers at all.)

Before yesterday, I was at best indifferent about the troll race. Indifferent strongly leaning towards dislike. Almost without exception, every troll player I run into is a raging asshole, and I don't mean just in RP.

Then came the Zalazane's Fall event yesterday. Oh my god. The voices! The accents! So amazingly hot. I'm in love. Just the one character saying "Zalazane" somehow was so very, very, very hot. I was melting in my chair.

Even the female voices were OMG SEXY. Almost every single voice in the event had me melting. (Zalazane was the only exception, he sounded exactly like Rafiki from Lion King! Ha! Not sexy, but amusing!)

I did the event three times yesterday (Haken, big Keen, mini-Keen) and have two more to do today (Crow and Thack). The quests leading up to the final event weren't fun at all (shades of FFXI events where you're just running and collecting endlessly as nothing but busywork*), but the final event makes it all worth it.

* As usually, I don't actually read the text quest, so for people who do maybe the busywork doesn't seem quite so bad.

I tried to find a clip on Youtube that I could include with my post, but either Youtube reduces the quality a lot (likely) or my home computer is just that much better than my work one (very likely), none of the online clips sounded as good as what I heard yesterday. But it's very good, yes!

And eee, it's always fun when something like this can help with a character's plot!

Edit: Also, I had no idea you RPed trolls! Huh! Well, you're exception #3 to the "all trolls are assholes" rule! :D

Haken might find zombies to be of use, but not good animals, no. An improvement on the living though!

And eee, hope you like it, when you do it! I did the last two 80s last night, and while I still liked the voices, I didn't melt like I had the night before (I think I built it up too much in my head).
