    Question The red star is no more, now there is a blue moon in its place

    Anyone else note this? Very peculiar. I have one player acting all special about it, saying my eyes are yet to open lol
    I'm just happy to be mystified by something in WoW for the first time in several years. Does it have something to do with Tyrande? Or...

    Illidan and Sargeras finally made up and decided to open nether version of Blue Oyster together.

    I'm in Stormwind right now and I still see the Red star next to the moon.
    Still there in Tanaris too.

    There are a few skybox backgrounds missing the red star - this was a bug in the Beta that's apparently gone unfixed into the pre-patch. But canonically speaking the red star is still present, and it appears in the majority of skybox textures.

    Azeroth always had two moons and one of them is blue. For some time in vanilla it was linked to the Dragon in Azshara if I remember correctly.

    I hate to break it to you, but that blue moon has been there since late Cata. In fact, it was originally in Vanilla, but due to technical issues it was temporary removed, but made a return shortly before MoP.

    Yeah, I was doing some Googling. I wonder why it is showing up for some of us and not for others...

    The blue moon has been a thing since vanilla, was removed for a bit after the cata revamp, or around that time anyways, and brought back after because it was brought up to the devs. Or some other kind of wacky shenanigans. It still doesn't appear when it should, not that it matters much, it's just something pretty to look at.

    Im going to assume the blue moon appears when you're chromie leveling.
    as to not spoil what happens in legion before people get to know what actually happens.

    Hmm, my toon hasn't talked to Chromie yet about leveling. But eh. I figure yeah, it's a spoiler kind of thing for Legion. That makes total sense.
