Chinese Players Vote on Who Will Die in Midnight

Posted 2026/04/01 at 1:00 PM by Archimtiros

a new community eventDisclaimer: The Chinese Operations team genuinely has no knowledge or control over upcoming lore; this event is just for fun!not

With absolutely nothing at stake, this is just a fun community event, though participants do have the chance of winning a physical Lion's Crown Ring of Stormwind, seen above. Unfortunately, you must have a NetEase account to participate, so the rest of us just get to watch and make our own predictions on who will named most likely to die in Midnight.

The Participants

Turalyon - "I've seen dads get ganked by their kids before, but you're built different."

Khadgar - "Looks like your staff is finally on the loot table."

Alleria Windrunner - "Status MIA, which basically translates to _____"

Xal'atath - "You don't really want me dead, my dear mortal."

Arator - "Fix that yee-yee ass haircut or we're vote-kicking you."

Lor'themar - "So you really just pulled the 'retiring to my hometown to get married' death card, huh?"

Sire Denathrius - "An intriguing hypothetical."

Iridikron - "Damn bro, who even are you again?"

Grand Magister Rommath - "You two just don't have that Koltira & Thassarian chemistry. Probably 'cause you're both still breathing."

Magister Umbric - "You two just don't have that Koltira & Thassarian chemistry. Probably 'cause you're both still breathing."
Rommath and Umbric share a statement, because of course they do.

Vereesa Windrunner - "You're way too normal to live, sis. Like, dangerously normal."

Sylvanas Windrunner - "How many extra lives do you even have left, Dark Lady?"

Bubbles Jr - "Azure Staring-eye Fish, I ain't waitin' for you."
This doesn't translate particularly well, but Chinese internet culture loves altering the tones of words to make absurd puns, so this is a phonetic play on a very famous Chinese pop song, Blue and White Porcelain by Jay Chou; reversing the original poetic message into a very unromantic line about a weird-looking fish.

Loa of Zul'Aman - "Eat, sleep, can't fight trolls anymore... guess we'll just farm you guys instead."
This refers to an old Chinese meme in which players would "eat, sleep, and fight trolls again" - a major enemy throughout much of World of Warcraft's early expansions.

Thrall - "You actually gonna log on for the second half of Midnight?"

Lady Liadrin - "This whole 'becoming one with the Light' gig is starting to sound a little sus..."
