Ladies and Gentlemen, those of you who played WoW Vanilla Alpha, might remember a certain "Captain", who sadly, got removed from the game when his services were no longer reqired...
Until now.

Captain Placeholder (now Cap'n Placeholder) returns in the Cataclysm beta as a level 95 elite, Horde-aligned character. He is seen dancing on the Goblin Rocketway, and appears to serve no purpose.
Alliance, you may begin weeping now.
(Yes, I know it says "beta", i'm posting this in the hopes blizzard leaves him where is he this time )
