I wanted to post this in the game "Where in Azeroth am I?" But I guess it would have been little too hard to find, and probably impossible to get to anymore. My friend told me those are dead developers initials. Anyone know where this is?

I'll take a guess at Karazhan cellars/dungeons give you say it's not possible to get there anymore.

Re: Random picture thread!
It's a gravestone/tomb in Barrens, the tomb has a door that doesn't work, the tomb is accessible by flying under org which can be accessed in a number of ways.
Some people claim it's the new memoriam for a WoW developer who died before the game was released.
Quote:
Michel Martin Koiter (3 May 1984 -- 18 March 2004) was one of Blizzard's premium artists. He was known under the name of "Twincruiser", an artistic collaboration with his twin brother René Koiter. He died at the age of 19 of unexpected heart failure.
However other people contest this theory, since the initials are WKM, plus Michel Martin Koiter already has/had a memoriam which consists of a spirit healer in front of a statue of a fallen warrior, the spirit healer is visible even if you aren't dead and is named after him.
A player contacted a GM regarding the initials and got this response:
A number of people contest that it is not a memorial at all:
Quote:
I doubt it's a memorial for a person. Since we can only glitch our way to it, only a few people would be seeing this which totally makes no sense for a memorial.

Re: Random picture thread!
The inscription stands for Winkle's Kinky Mamas, and is an advertisement for winkle's side business aimed at WoW players with too much time on their hands.
I got this 100% reliable fact from Boris. He can confirm this is legit since he knows ghost-crawler personally, he saved him form a crab cage near the Falklands.
iirc i read somewhere blizzard makes a statue or something alike for those who died while the game is in development... like the statue in the burning steppes.
so i doubt they try and hide this in a place where only the glitchers may tread..
