Who is wkm in wow

Please note that the information in the video above is now out of date. Once one of the most famous secrets in World of Warcraft, you may already be familiar with the candlelit nameplate that reads WKM.

Nestled inside one of the stone pillars overlooking The Drag, this famous exploration has been hiding in plain sight over the bustling city of Orgrimmar since the Cataclysm.

Originally a rather complex exploration to complete, the discovery of new terrain clip method has made it far more accessible. Using the method detailed in the video above, any explorer with a flying mount and quick reflexes is now free to visit this memorial for themselves. Flying up it will lead you into the secret room which holds a piece of exploration history. Once inside the area is relatively unassuming. A simple stone room decorated with only a candle and a metal placard reading WKM, this might normally have been dismissed as a scrapped part of the city.

However, the mystery surrounding the three letters was a major point of discussion among the exploration community for years. Originally, the main theory surrounding the letters was that they were were a tribute to the late Michel Koiter. A Blizzard artist who passed away during the development of Vanilla WoW and who had several other tributes hidden throughout the game. With no definitive answers and the date since the creation of the monument drifting further away, it seemed unlikely that the community would ever learn the true meaning of WKM.

With that, a ten year mystery was brought to a close. The letters serve as a virtual memorial to honor the father of the developer who rebuilt the city, and the nature of the room itself has shifted from one of mystery to one of reverence. I know what WKM stands for. The room started off as a special secret place that was made just for the entertainment of the artist but then was closed off and made into a personal memorial for a beloved father. Rest in peace dad.

SO who is WKM? Found a wee tomb in org in a rock. It's the new memoriam for a WoW developer who died before the game was released. Here some screenshots of the old memoriam: There was a spirit healer that was visible even if you weren't dead named after him Here you can see the WM written on his virtual gravestone. Last edited by Xel; at AM. Nice find. Cant find the entrance. Well, I mounted through the roof of a nearby building to get in, but how are you :supposed: to get in there?

The flat portion of the rock looks like it has a doorway that can open up or phase out somehow. Is there a way to legitimately walk into it? I'm very interested in getting in there too; would anyone be able to provide a step-by-step guide on how to get into it? Originally Posted by Viper23rd. I managed to get in by flying underneath Orgrimmar, using the Halls of Legends seat bug. I will post a video how to get in shortly.
