A day or two after the new Wardrobe system was released, Kaelinda got a message from one of her Mage friends, a Troll named Kikimaia who was living in Orgrimmar:
Hey Miz Kae, I thought you should know dat I been seein’ some strange folks standin’ around in Orgrimmar. Dey’re wearin’ placards and givin’ out pamphlets. Dis makes me uneasy, mon, becoz de last time I saw strange folks wit placards, it was right before de Cataclysm. What’s more worrisome is dat dese “Doomsayers” seem ta be inspirin’ some kinda suicide cult. I’m no Soothsayer, but I tink dere be dark days ahead.
The Demon Invasions may yet be a few weeks off, but the pre-expansion Event has already begun!
Apparently the Doomsayers hand out twelve different types of pamphlets and there’s a Feat of Strength for getting them all — hence the craziness. I’d like to get the Feat of Strength, but I don’t need it RIGHT NAO!!! I think I’ll just send an alt to camp out by one of the Doomsayers and log in at the beginning and end of each play session to pick up a pamphlet. I’m sure that if I’m patient and don’t forget about it, I’ll manage to collect all 12 pamphlets by the time the Legion comes.
When Kaelinda told the rest of the guild about the message, the Underpowered Death Knight volunteered to keep an eye on the Doomsayers. She is, after all, very good at being Patient…

Aw, drat. It has to be 15 minutes logged-in time before you can get another pamphlet. I grabbed a pamphlet, logged out, went and did other stuff for over half an hour, and when I came back, I couldn’t get another pamphlet. I had to sit there logged in for 15 minutes. I presume that it also resets when the daily quests do, because it would seem reasonable to be encouraging the players to visit the Doomsayer every day to see if there’s something new. But now I understand the motivation for using the death workaround better…
Nope, logging in again in the morning (after the time when dailies reset) didn’t do the trick. I still had to sit there for 15 minutes before I could get another pamphlet.
It is odd and wonderful to see these groups of players (on our realm at the Cathedral in SW) party up and simply get nekkid, fly up and drop to die — and then have a healer rez them. It IS a suicide cult!
I’m hoping our guild has an event to do it; getting the team back together.
Haha, that would be a fun thing to do as a guild!
Jeez, thank you. I’ve been so busy fiddling with everyone’s bank and clothes I completely missed this. I guess I need to head into the big city lol.
You’re welcome! I’m not sure if the Doomsayers are in all the old world capitals or just in Orgrimmar and Stormwind. I don’t think I’ve seen any in Thunder Bluff yet…
I wasn’t even aware of this. Guess I know what Tum will be doing for the near future.
I refuse to do the suicide thing, so I’m going to have to manage it by logging in, then going off to do something else in the house for 15 minutes (cooking, laundry, homework) before I actually sit down to play the game.
I only learned about the suicide thing after 8 pamphlets. Not my cup of tea either.
[…] the same as the pamphlets the Doomsayers had been handing out before the Legion Invasions began, a year ago. The Underpowered Death Knight decided to wait around and see how many different pamphlets she […]
