Stealthing around is one of the coolest things about being a rogue in Warcraft, so that’s where the rogue album begins — slipping into a crowded tavern, not being seen by anyone
Back in the day, I remember having to apply poisons and sharpening stones to my daggers as a Warcraft rogue. So, I thought that would make for a nice moment on the rogue album.
“Slice and Dice” is for everyone who loves hating being swarmed by murlocs in World of Warcraft.
Also, if you ever wanted to hear the murlocs sing their mrrrgle-grrrrgle song, this is your chance.
“Three Copper and a Candy” is about pick-pocketing.
Sometimes, with my rogue, I just like to stealth around and pick pockets. You never get anything really good, but the things you get add so much depth and flavor to the world.
One of the coolest ways to play Warcraft is to be a rogue with a cat druid friend who’s willing to stealth around with you.
The Defias quest chain in Westfall is one of the best things in all of Warcraft. I played through it sooooo many times back in the day, and that means collecting a lot of red bandanas.
Remember waiting and waiting for the Defias messenger to respawn? And then someone else would kill him immediately, and you’d have to lurk around waiting for him to spawn again…
Remember how you used to need either a special key or a rogue with you to break into some of the dungeons in Warcraft? Well, “Listen to the Lock” is about a rogue lock-picking their way into the Deadmines.
If you’re duoing the Deadmines as a rogue with a cat druid, you can just stealth through the caves, past any groups of Defias that you don’t absolutely have to kill.
“A Pirate’s Death for Them” is the point in the album where our rogue and cat druid reach the pirate ship deep in the Deadmines.
And I couldn’t resist parodying “A pirate’s life for me” with “A pirate’s death for them!”
One of the cool things about rogues is they can dual-wield — two weapons!
Seriously, why waste time on a shield or off-hand when you could just wield a second blade? Always more sharp things.
Cookie the murloc chef in the Deadmines sometimes dropped a Siamese cat. My rogue carried that cat around in her backpack all the way until they converted pets to battle pets.
You know how the final boss in the Deadmines used to be Van Cleef, but since Cataclysm it’s been Van Cleef’s daughter?
Well, “The Captain’s Hat” is where our rogue takes down the head of the Red Bandanas and realizes… dun dun duuuuun, he’s their father!
The Warcraft guild I was in back in the day used a loot distribution system called Suicide Kings that involved rolling either need or greed on an object, long before that cute little UI was worked directly into the game.
