The [hide]WoW Archivist[/hide] explores the secrets of World of Warcraft’s past. What did the game look like years ago? Who is etched into WoW’s history? What secrets does the game still hold?
Today’s Archivist topic would have been a grand one to save for the next [hide]April Fools’ Day[/hide], but that’s half a year away! Sticking strictly to chronological patch order, what the heck, let’s just tackle it today. In the early months of 2006, World of Warcraft players were eagerly anticipating patch 1.11, Shadow of the Necropolis, which would implement the original [hide]40-man version of the Naxxramas raid[/hide]. On April 1, 2006, former Blizzard community manager [hide]Caydiem[/hide] decided to go fishing for trolls: She posted what is known as Evil Patch Notes.
Some of the false patch notes released for patch 1.11 on April Fools’ are timeless, immediately obvious jokes that just click, even five years later. Others are relics of their time, references to popular complaints and hatreds of 2005 and 2006. Players who have only just started playing World of Warcraft in the last year or two may not understand them at all. Others, years later, are closer to the truth than Caydiem may have ever expected.
Patch 1.11’s Evil Patch Notes will now be presented in full, where they may speak for themselves.
