Highlord Bolvar Fordragon, bodyguard to the King of Stormwind, was not previously known to be suicidal -- but today in Stormwind Keep a shocking sight was unfolded before the eyes of all citizens on their way to greet the child-king, Anduin Wrynn. As seen here, Bolvar repeatedly used his own sword to slice his head off!Mysterious Mysteries questioned King Wrynn, as he stood there, seemingly oblivious to the horror taking place right beside him. His only reply was to gaze at us meaningfully, and confess in a whisper: "I see dead people."
Lady Katrana Prestor, who is actually the dragon Onyxia in disguise, agreed with the King on this matter. "Obviously you are too stupid to see the obvious. Bolvar here may be slicing his head off, but do you see any blood? I didn't think so. Now... go die in a fire."
It is a mysterious mystery indeed: Why does Mister Fordragon repeatedly kill himself without success? Why does he allow Onyxia to keep coming back and standing next to him? The draenei emissary to the court of Stormwind, mister Taluun, had this to say: "This is but one of the Light's miracles, my son. The blessings of the Naaru prevent the great ones of the world from perishing -- as you can see, this powerful blade passes right through him."
One careful listener, however, was able to get close enough to Highlord Bolvar's mad whisperings as he muttered words to himself before each slice: "She just won't leave me alone... she keeps coming back... they cut off her head a thousand times and she's still here! Aaaargh!"
Gift of the Naaru? or curse of agony? It is for you to decide!

he's been doing that for a long long while... way before BC... but yea, looks extremely weird. there is also another npc that sits down with his sword and looks like he's stabbing himself.

I have a Night Elf hunter and when he uses a dagger in his off hand he smacks the bad guy with the pommel rather than using the sharp bit on the end.
It does decent damage and all, but imagine how much more it would do if he actually stabbed somebody with it.

I don't think any of my characters don't decapitate themselves when they dance with weapons out.

My mage impales her head on both sides with her spiky shoulderpads everytime she sighs, waves or raises her arms for any reason. A bit disconcerting, really...

Any time a male night elf dies, and is laying dead, his sword or dagger is sticking right through his head. Dunno about 1h maces...

He's just doing the unarmed battle stance animation, but he has his weapons out. I've seen this many times.

Weird moments.
My alliance lock on a pvp server was once attacked in Theramore by this guy from the training grounds in front of the keep. I was told he was bugged and it never happened again.
Also there's this angry guy outside a tower, perhaps a boy who will attack you as you head towards Tirisfal from Southshore. If you kill him it's a DK. He used to have the tag "civillian" but not anymore. His was my mage's 3rd DK.
If I'm mining a node under water, the pick sort of swings sideways.
Sometimes mobs will lag or something and can be seen in one place but can invisibly hit you. You have to keep hitting it but you get no health displays until the mob does a death animation and then you can't loot it as you are too far away. In short, the picture of the mob is different from the action.
Daryl.
