Cheers, Samwise

Thanks for the Pandaren.

EDIT: He’s in his early 50s. I’d sell my stock options and go fishing too.

I’m going to miss E.T.C. and just the influence he’s had on the franchise as a whole.

For those like me who found themselves missing context and trying to figure out what Samwise Gamgee had to do with Pandaren

My fault for not being more explicit. If you’ve ever seen the image of a Pandaren sitting in the grass, with a cub on their back reaching for a dragonfly … that was the very first concept art piece. Without Samwise there wouldn’t be Pandaren.

Haha yeah tbh I just hadn’t caught the news. Sorry to hear he’s going but he’s earned his retirement! Big legacy

Godspeed, you mad bastige, and thank you for everything.

Puts boulders on his shoulders in homage

I will remember the good, but will not forget his mistakes. May he enjoy his retirement.

Woe upon those who come to the Samwise thread and do not have their shoulders covered by a mog.

Woe!
