The new expansion pack for World of Warcraft: Mist of Pandaria proves one thing: that the people of Azeroth are the worst explorers ever. They lost an entire continent. Sadly, this isn’t the first time. They’ve previously lost entire islands as well as co-habitated with an entire race living aboard a giant, invisible spaceship. They’ve even re-discovered a giant chunk of their own planet that’s floating around in space. Yet, they ignored an entire continent.
Everyone on Azeroth is an immortal magician. Some have even gone back in time. Many have fought Gods, even Elder Gods. Your typical character can swim to the bottom of the ocean, provided they have the right character class, potion, or spell to breathe underwater for that period of time. They can fly around on magical animals, or sail the skies in air ships. The only consequences for death is having to walk back to your own body. There’s an entire race of the undead and an alien race. There’s literally no explanation that can be used to justify ignorance of an entire unexplored continent, especially when every man, woman and child on the planet are all classifiable as, “adventurers.” “Mists,” is not an adequate excuse. You can’t just say it was misty and you couldn’t see it. Elves even have a racial trait that eliminates that problem. “Magic,” isn’t even a good excuse, as everyone is a fucking wizard.
