"Secret vote" changes one of the worst NPC names
Xella found an extremely fascinating change in 2.3 over on LJ-- Warden Iolol is no longer known by that name. Instead, he is known as Warden Moi'bff Jill. He claims that a "secret vote" was passed around, and that his name was changed.
Secret vote? The only place I know of where Iolol's name got mentioned negatively was in our own "Forum Post of the Day" about worst NPC names, and the forum post that accompanied it. Of course, there could have also been a "secret vote" somewhere else, and I don't remember Iolol drawing all that much ire-- the most hated names, if I recall, were Nutral the flight master and Haris Pilton.
And of course "Moi'bff Jill" ("my best friend forever, Jill") isn't that great a name either. Although I guess going the way of Corki (who got shipped off to live with the Night Elves) wouldn't have been that much fun, either.

Living with night elves would be fine. Well, as long as the male population gets itself ganked by various marauding undead rogues.

No, it might be on the RP realms, but in the place where *cough*normal*cough* people play, there are no required naming schemes.

When I first saw that, I figured that it was a reference to a friend of the Blizzard staff. I hoped Jill doesn't play the game, not unless she looks like a Broken, and has the voice to match.

While I didn't think Iolol was exactly comedic genius, I really don't care for the new name. It doesn't look Kurenai at all. I'd like to see them change it to just a normal, Draenei name.

There was a cell phone commercial with a girl and here mom. I don't remember who it was for but the mom asked her she was texting all the time and the girl replied "my BFF Jill".

Corki is not living with the Night Elves. I'm almost positive that he was actually following me around yesterday stealing all my herb nodes. Still I suppose that's what I get for refusing to save him from being eaten, not getting the key and coating him in marinade.
I hate Corki.

Roll Horde. You can attack Corki, which will cause him to come out of the cage (why doesn't he just leave then??) so you can WTFPWNT him. He's got an ass ton of HP for his lvl, though. He thankfully swings like a girl.
