Take The Escapist's World of Warcraft Anniversary Quiz(zes)!



World of Warcraft turns five today, and so in celebration we're bringing you a pair of quizzes about life and adventuring in Azeroth - with a pair of badges at stake, too!

Hey, everybody - Funk here. I've Cycloned Escapist Senior Editor Susan Arendt to take over the quiz this week in honor of World of Warcraft's fifth birthday. We've got a pair of quizzes for you today, and you know the drill:

Casual questers in Azeroth might want to try their hand at the "Normal" quiz, but if you've been waiting for a real challenge, set the difficulty to Heroic by taking on our "Impossible" quiz, a quiz that will separate the merely Epic from the truly Legendary. Trust me: Getting 100% on your first go won't be easy, as these questions pull from all five years of World of Warcraft.

On the other hand, you can try as many times as you like and take as long as you want in order to get the special badges awarded for getting all 10 questions right, but dilly-dallying will be reflected in your position on our leaderboards.

If you're all buffed up and ready to go, then good luck - for the Alliance! (Okay, okay, for the Horde, too.)

(Take the Normal WoW quiz. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/quizzes/view/42])
(Take the Impossible WoW quiz. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/quizzes/view/43])

Got a quiz of your own you'd like to submit? Send it to [email protected]. If we use it, you'll receive a special badge! Please be sure to put "Quiz" as the subject and include your forum name with your submission.

Wow kudos to the folks that set up the quiz. You're not telling which answers are wrong and you're shuffling the questions? This hunter is pleased.

Holy crap Funk, 0:20 on the normal!?

That's just mean :(

Currently second. Now for the impossible one...

Bah, only 70%. Oh well. That Void Zone question really threw me. I call them Stupid Holes anyway.

Hah, now 100%, only took me 6 tries and five minutes.

Wow, best I've ever done in these quizzes. At the time of writing, third at the normal, and ninth at the impossible one.

Also, 20 seconds? Hot damn. Did you pop a haste potion or something?

I think Funk cheated, though I did pip your time by about 5 second's. However, the impossible quiz elludes me because of my inability to finish leveling through Northrend.

I think only one of those questions was specific to new Northrend content, maybe two?

Just guess until you get them right :p

I'm almost disappointed with myself that I did that well, considering I haven't been playing in a few months.

I lost it on the Thorim question though - the answer to that question is something of a running joke among the people I raid with.

This is she. [http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Aggramar&n=Zappewpew]

I logged off in DPS gear though, she's primarily a tank and she's about a tiers worth better than that.

Also note the last log in date :p I quit mid August.

Yes, but i'm lazy. And I like my current badge's, so holding second spot on the normal quiz is enough for my ego today. Unless someone dares beat me.

Why was your main a DK?
Because I liked the playstyle. I loved tanking without a shield and without looking at a furry bear arse. I loved Death Grip. I loved Icy Touch. I loved Howling Blast. I loved Frost Strike. I loved the Rune/Runic Power system. I had a Warlock for TBC and a Rogue for Vanilla. I've got an 80 Retridin as well, but she's barely worth talking about since I levelled her for the sole purpose of node grinding for my main's professions.

Anyway, gotta go, will be late for my lecture at this rate.

Toughest one for me was the easter egg in Stranglethorn. D: I got the rest right each time, I just couldn't nail that one question. ><

I'm 8th atm on both of them, but I bet by the end of the day I get knocked off my high chair ;P

10/10 on the Normal Quiz and 3/10 on the Impossible Quiz.

By far one of the best games ever.
