    He's Baaaaack....

    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.

    http://www.wowpedia.org/Captain_Placeholder

    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 )
    Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
    So I chose the path of the Ebon Blade, and not a day passes where i've regretted it.
    I am eternal, I am unyielding, I am UNDYING.
    I am Zethras, and my blood will be the end of you.

    It's really old...TB had him in a vid once, when goblins had their little cars as mounts.

    Do we see a dwarf shaman holding the planet together, while hoards of elementals, faceless ones, old god tentacles, and deathwing try and smash it to pieces.

    No, we see Thrall.

    He wasn't an Alpha thing either, he was there for a good portion of the Vanilla era after launch because they were having trouble fixing the crashes that occured when using the boat from Menethil to Auberdine.
