Why "Maw Walker"?

I’m still a new player; been playing for a few days. When I first heard “Maw Walker” it sounded to me like Mall Walker. And still every time somebody addresses my characters with that name, I think of somebody walking through a shopping mall. There ought to be a better moniker than “Mall Walker”. Sheesh :sweat_smile:

I don’t get that. Why not award everyone that was subbed for Shadowlands the title as a thank you for giving them money for this crap.

Who, outside of Shadowlands, refers to our characters as “Maw Walker”?

/moo :cow:

One of the design team had “Blade” on in the background and thought “Day walker” was cool.

I hate when the Azeroth characters, like Jaina and Thrall, call us Maw walkers, like they never saw us before…

Legit lol’d irl.

Well, it’s been implied now for some time, while others around us like Thrall and Jaina are powerful and special in their own way. Something unknown yet to everyone makes us extra special. It is because of this; we can do things that no one else on Azeroth is able to do.

So, we get called all types of names and titles every xpac it seems. Sometimes it is pointed out we are not the only one, other times it is made out that we are the only one and that those around us are just fellow adventures that are helping us out.

Because we couldn’t mount in the Maw during 9.0. Just stuck after that.

Because we can come and go to the Maw at will, as opposed to everyone else.

Everyone else except the other 1000’s of maw walkers :slight_smile:

And all the covenant leaders too. “Nobody escapes the Maw” except myself, Thrall, Jaina, Baine, Anduin, Bolvar, the Ebon Blade, etc.

Mau walker.

Yep, it’s been a bit of an annoyance since the xpac launched.

Yes… whoever did those voice over lines needs to have their dialect checked. I said this back when SL first released…

I’m a maw mount rider now, kind of wish they’d update my title.

I’m okay with players being “special,” but the plot really needs to stop trying to pass itself off as single-player.

Yeah, sure, we’ve killed so many gods that keeping track of them all can take some effort, but that “we” bit is non-negotiable. The writing needs to respect the genre, and recognize that there’s more than just one player soloing their way through everything.

I think it would have been fine with “a maw walker” instead of “THE MAW WALKER.”

One makes perfect sense, the other no so much.
