So, for the past couple days I have been leveling a new character on a PvP server. I logged back onto my old server after getting kind of lonely on the PvP one, lol and just as I logged on, I noticed something strange in the general chat of Storm Wind.
I was on my bank character, scoping out who was online to chat with like I usually do, when I noticed that someone who was chatting in general had "Blizz" in front of their name, and not just like a title, like a little Blizz icon! So of course I was like, "omg a GM!" lol
I noticed that the GM seemed to be making a PvP group or something, so I rushed to the keep to see if I could get a glimpse of one of the all powerful GMs! No such luck, but I did come across Machete! (The pig in the picture above) He was level 65 and showed up as hostile, but you couldn't actually attack him because I guess he was the GM's pet. I had actually seen an animal like this one time in the Swamp of Sorrows that had shown it's name in red, and it had me targeted and was following me around a bit before disappearing, and had always wondered about it. I guess it may have been a GM Hunter's pet?
So I hung out with Machete in the keep for a while, he wasn't targeting anything or moving around much, just kinda hanging out, but the GM was talking in general chat a little bit, not really talking to anyone in particular, just talking. I decided to try and see the GM, so I asked politely for the piggy to show me to the GM... lol. The pig then started running and I followed it! haha. It was so much faster than me, and a bunch of people on mounts were following it (my character was like level 1, lol) but the pig kept stopping and turning back to wait for me to catch up! lol.
Anyways, so I followed it to just outside the Auction House in Storm Wind where it jumped up on a box and stopped(the place I have circled on the following pic), so I asked the pig if the GM was around, and the GM said he was in like the "/s" chat, but no one could see him because he was invisible or something, lol. He told us all to dance, lol so we did, and then said that everyone who wanted something had to go send him some gold and he'd give them what they wanted before Blizz took away his powers, lol.
I quickly ran to the mail box and sent the "GM", whos name was Zenthos, 5G and asked for a baby Phoenix pet, lol. I never even questioned why the GM would want my gold, just really wanted to get something special from him! lol...
So after a few more minutes, Machete disappeared and then the "GM" came back online as just a regular player! I am not sure exactly what happened, but I guess basically it was just some guy who had hacked something, lol? I armory'd the guy... too bad he didn't hack himself some better gear... lol This is him here. So basically I was all excited because I thought I was following around a GM's pig... when really it was just some hunter who managed to make his pet look aggressive, himself disappear, and get it to say "Blizz" before his name, lol. I kinda wish I had sent him more gold though, because that was one of the best scams I've ever seen for getting some fast cash! lol. I hope he doesn't get banned for too long, haha, because it all was rather entertaining!
