I once got threatened through in-game mail by some guy on my server because i ganked him in Stormwind, he said in the mail something about my personal life that I never shared with anyone in-game and it kind of creeped me out. So then i saw him again in Stormwind and ganked him several more times lul. I still have the mail, he wrote me a few more times and I saved all of them. The content of the letters reminds me of things Dwight Schrute would say and I enjoy looking at them from time to time.

This absolutely made me crap myself as a kid, though I know it was unrelated.
When I was younger I was following the “Goldshire Children” (those creepy child NPC’s that form a pentagram) around.
When I walked with them into the house in Elwynn my monitor glitch screened, blew my headphones, and shut off. This was also at like 2 in the morning 
Turns out the fuse or something in my monitor blew and I had to buy a new one, but christ that timing lmao

Back before BC I was leveling a character in Barrens and a random max level Orc came up to me and opened trade with me and put thousands of gold in it.
I declined because for that time in the game it was a massive amount of gold and I assumed it was from some ill gotten source.

A glitch where I couldn’t log into just one character on my account.

Going to ‘GM Island’ but that wasn’t all that weird.
Not much else to remember, really.

Forgot to mention the Maw skybox failed yesterday. It was just this massive mesh white fog. It looked really clean. Kinda like standing at Korthia edge looking into the beastwarrens. No ambient color
But then again I blame my video card. I often get stuff that pops in and out of existence.

There was a similar glitch where you would get on the flight path, but not take off. People would be running around the Flight Master wearing the equivalent of the ostrich rider w/suspenders costume.
- I remember getting dropped in random zones when taking the zeppelin to/from Northrend.
- That first time your group got mauled by the entire dungeon, only to realize it was your pet that brought them to you.
- I once happened upon a Warlock on my Alliance server, who’s Felguard had the same name as mine. (Haatom, if you were curious)
- Finding someone in any starting area (whether Exile’s Reach, The Maw, Storming the Draenor Portal) who realizes that I am secretly racing them, and joins in, to see who can complete the scenario faster. lol

During Shadowland’s pre-patch I was taking a boat from Stormwind to Northrend, WoW kicked me, I logged back in and was in a cave or cavern in front of a Alterac Valley Battlemaster named Grumbol Grimhammer.

The fact that they’re Goblins of all races makes me think real estate shopping would go something like the Addams family looking for a summer home, or the Gremlin plane scenes from Hotel Transylvania 3…
The weirdest thing to happen to me was a player sharing, in a short amount of time and without prompting from me, an uncomfortable amount of their personal info while we happened to be in the same zone.

I was in the Hinterlands killing worgs for a quest on this character and I had noticed a gnome running around in the area but didn’t think to much about them because I knew Alliance also had some quests there. It was after I had killed a with that the gnome ran up to me and emote cried.
I was really confused because didn’t know why they were crying so I moved on. Killed another worg and the same gnome ran up and cried again.
Kinda annoyed know I move on kill another with and the gnome comes again but cheers. Before skinning the with then runs back to the other worg I had killed. But didn’t loot. I could only laugh at myself and went back to loot the word for a happy gnome.
Besides that, only bug I dealt with was when the gong was rung for Ahn’Qirajon my realm and the boat I was taking to Kalimdor wound up on the side of a mountain.

One of my fondest weird experiences was in vanilla WoW. Our huge raid had just jumped on a ship heading toward Darnassus, and next thing we knew we were falling out of the sky over Stonetalon Mountains.
sigh those were the days!

Lol!
When you entered a city/town and didn’t see any npcs, you knew you were about to get disconnected because the servers decided to go down.
So, you may remember there’s a viking Vrykul funeral in Stormheim, well I got hammered from like 4 drinking horns and slid down the mountain on a ghost moose…
That youtuber Pyromancer started yelling at me in a pug cause I was outdpsing him on my lock.
While on my female Belf DH, I had a male Vulpera char (player) emote me something like: “[Char Name] wants to spit directly into your mouth.” I, too, was freaked out and immediately logged in as another char.

A bug…
Waaaaaay back in vanilla, I was on the coast of Dustwallow Marsh questing and my level was low enough that I aggroed a higher-level shark all in the way in the water trying to get onshore. I was laughing and taunting it (not the class skill, but actually talking smack). The game bugged and had the shark jump on land to kill me… -_-. Karma really did bite me in the keister…
