WoW: The weather on the island of Quel'Danas - Blizzard solves TBC mystery

August 12, 2022

The Alliance fighter Mizore complained bitterly in the WoW forum a few days ago about the fact that it is constantly raining on the Isle of Quel'Danas, which has been accessible in Burning Crusade Classic since May 11, 2022, and that across all layers.

Honestly, we lived on Quel'Danas Island for weeks at a time (just a little exaggerated), but no one in our bubble ever noticed this little detail. Blizzard could happily make it more common again for our actions to have a direct impact on the game world, small and large. Or what do you think?
