It's Hallow's End in Azeroth, and one of the many delightful if temporary additions to the game during the holiday is the flying brooms. But, as Kelriia Frettlar found out recently, those wishing to fly in Outland must do so with a caveat: only in fair weather.It's a tiny detail, and one that no one would really notice, but it's an excellent one. If it is raining in Outland, as is often the case in Zangarmarsh, the Flying Broom will stop working, giving the error message "the weather isn't right for that." I am entirely enchanted with this entire concept. While I cannot test it myself (alas I only got a standard non-flying broom during my battles with the Headless Horseman) it's enough to know that Blizzard put this detail into the game. Once again I am tickled pink by the sense of humor displayed by the dev team.
I recently found a turkey model while I was wondering through the WoW Model viewer that when it is killed, turns into a cooked turkey on a plate. Although I am not sure exactly how long it's been in the MPQ files, it makes me look forward to what November might have in store for us.

Perhaps a test of the mount lockout they're going to be using for WotLK?

I have yet to experience this. I may fly over to Zangarmarsh and see what the weather is like...

The turkey has been there for at least 2 years... possibly longer.

it was a tad annoying when using the ErrorMonster addon though
i had all my error text turned off and couldn't figure out at first why i couldnt mount up and fly away. i had to turn the addon off for a second to find out why :P

I am a victim of that.
first I noticed the error message regarding "the weather isn't right for that."
so, I headed back to elemental platau to mount up and started flying toward Zangarmarsh. Let's say I ended the experiment with calling out help in guild chat asking for ressers to fly up to a high mountain that I could not get back to..

The turkey has been in since the very beginning. I have no idea why they haven't used it yet...

I was afk while flying from nagrand to blades edge mountin on my brook, I came back to find myself dead on the top of a mushroom in zangamarsh verry confused.
Figured out the broom thing and laughed.

Yep, this happened to me. I flew from Shattrath north, and when I zoned in to Zangarmarsh, the broom stopped working and I fell to my death on top of a high mushroom where I couldn't reach my body after corpse running... A bit annoying :P

I did try this, and it was raining, and to my dismay I was not kicked off of my broom.
