While a PTR usually focuses on new content, Patch 9.1.5 testing has been the subject of widespread attention after revealing changes to some
very old and sometimes obscure
parts of the game. Following
Blizzard's statement on updating references within World of Warcraft
, which called the updates part of a company-wide effort to update parts of the game which were outdated and inconsistent with their values, we took a deeper look at the PTR to find out what else has changed throughout the game.
Blizzard
Goofy jokes and occasional mature innuendos are part of WoW, and probably always will be. Still, we want to remain mindful of whether certain elements of that world are welcoming to all players. In short, we want our jokes to be inclusive and not punch down.
Den of Mortal Delights - Black Temple (Burning Crusade)
Players were quick to check out the Black Temple's Den of Mortal Delights after our report that
Karazhan had been updated
to include male versions of many mob types, finding many of the same changes present inside Illidan's fortress on Outland. On live servers, the harem is almost entirely populated by female courtesans and concubines, but many of these now include male versions and several of the NPCs have been renamed to appear somewhat less licentious. While changes do not eradicate the theme entirely, it does change the atmosphere - no longer are the women all working courtesans enthralling the few men found within the area.
Acolyte du temple
is now the gender neutral
Temple Acolyte
.
Client séduisant
is now the gender netural
Charming Patron
.
Hôte fervent
were previously one of the only male models in the Den, is now
Ardent Host
.
Régisseur dévoué
, one of the other male models, are now called
Devoted Steward
.
Some of the demons located within the Den and on the way to Mother Shaahraz have also been renamed, though rather than aiming for inclusivity, the changes appear to be for the sake of consistency - now referring to all Succubus as Priestess and the Shivara as Mistress.
Prêtresse du délice
is now
Priestess of Delight
.
Prêtresse du tourment
is now
Priestess of Torment
.
Maîtresse du malheur
is now
Mistress of Woe
.
Maîtresse de la démence
is now
Mistress of Torment
.
Clark the Paladin also
shared a video on the forums
clearing through the Den on the PTR, in which you can see many of the adjusted mobs.
Sons of Hodir - The Storm Peaks (Wrath of the Lich King)
Unlike the Black Temple or Karazhan, the all-male faction of Ice isn't being made more diverse by replacing the quartermaster with a female or being renamed to the Sons and Daughters of Hodir, but many of the quests that players may remember grinding day in and out to unlock exalted
shoulder enchants
have been renamed to avoid various sexual innuendos. Turns out, the Sons of Hodir have a pretty bawdy sense of humor!
L’appel de Hodir
is now
Hodir's Call
.

Placing Hodir's Helm

is now

.
The sole NPC change,
Jorcuttar
has also been renamed
Jorcuttar
in line with the quest above.
Eredath - Argus (Legion)
It should come as no surprise that several item, quest, and NPC references across Argus have been changed, following the renaming of the Draenei capital
Mac'Aree to Eredath
in order to disassociate from
former employee Jesse McCree
.
Érédath, joyau d’Argus
is now
Eredath, Jewel of Argus
.
Les Collines mauves d’Érédath
, along with its various
pages
and
chapters
, all now refer to Eredath.
Argus catch up gear catch up gear, such as
Plastron de cherche-lumière d’Érédath
and
Redoute de vigilant d’Érédath
, are all named for Eredath.
The Argus follower equipment,
Ensemble d’armure d’Érédath
, also now refers to Eredath.
Other References and Innuendos
While they don't fall into the common sections outlined above, we've found several other individual item, quest, and NPC references which have been changed across the game. While some of these are expected changes which remove
references to former employees
, others adjust innuendos along the same lines as the
Big Love Rocket being renamed X-45 Heartbreaker
.

, “Grand Duke Jiang goes fishing - a willing person takes the bait" (姜太公釣魚 - 願者上鉤), which expresses a uniquely patient method of fishing by hanging a straight hook three feet above the water with no bait. Like fish rising to his line, it refers to a victim willfully allowing themselves be caught in a trap.
He is also credited with writing
The Six Secret Strategic Teachings
(太公六韜 / 太公六韬), which is counted alongside Sun Tzu's
The Art of War
as one of ancient
China's Seven Military Classics
