WoW Insider reported on a really neat death knight bug. Their video shows it all, but to sum up if a death knight duels someone in Ratchet or Booty Bay and then death grips their opponent while on a moving boat, but the opponent is on the dock, then the opponent will go flying off across the continent.
I’m sure the first reaction of most death knights is: zomg must try! However DeathKnight.info has the same story, but with warnings from Blizzard GMs to not attempt to do the bug.
As is typical for tech support communications to end users the GMs don’t say why we shouldn’t do the trick. It appears characters are getting stuck (bad for the player) and GMs have to get them out (annoying for the GMs). I wouldn’t think the bug does anything negative to the servers, but I’m no expert. I can see there being a negative side affect if every death knight starts doing this, however. Still, flying through mountains is neat to see.
So I wonder, knowing how the bug works and that GMs are asking people not to do it again, how many people would want to still try it at least once?

Chalk me up as one who’d like to try at least once. Course, with my luck, by the time I have to play, they’ll have hotfixed it out of the game.

I knew DKs were overpowered, but pulling people through the world? Sheesh.

That is without a doubt, the coolest bug ever.
I conned a buddy of mine into duelling in Booty Bay and there was that stunned silence on Vent followed by a mystified “What the f…?”
Funny as hell.
