Orgrimmar Spider Bug

Unread post by Acherontia »

So apparently Stonetalon bugged out again and once more decided it's in the middle of everywhere, or something (TBC Stonetalon boat rides, anyone?)

Today I logged in to Org to find tons of Orgrimmar Guards shouting FOR THE WARCHIEF! The subject of their rage, I found, wasn't a Death Knight or an Alliance player, but rather a rather harmless-looking level 26 Deepmoss Webspinner. This little guy was on evade, and despite tons of attempts to kill or tame it, it steadfastly stood its ground just outside Gamon's hut. Not sure why, or how, it got there (it's far too low-level to be kited) but hey! Here's some pics for you:

This 'bug' with spiders that drop down on players from a height is also discussed in this thread.

I don't know how it's actually done, just the result. That said, I saw some of the Deadwind spiders hanging out in Stonard yesterday, too!

One day I saw a Deadwind Widow at the Booty Bay inn. I logged in the next day, and it was still there! I didn't think spiders had hearthstones, so I googled the bug. Apparently if you kite these for a while, they become permanently attached. They stay where the person logs out, and start following the person around again when they log in, that's why the spider was at the inn. But when I read about the bug, people said it was already fixed. You couldn't kite the spiders and have them follow you anymore. I'm wondering if the kiting bug may have been fixed, but if someone with the spider *already* following them still has the spider. I'm sure a lot of people would find this very cool, so they wouldn't even ask a GM to try to remove the spider. I was pretty happy when the spider checked out of the Booty Bay inn, though, I'm arachniphobic!
