China Uses WoW Map in Military Documentary

Posted 23rd Jan 2008 02:11 PM by Maticus

China Military TV Channel broadcast a documentary last week, about last year’s war exercises. During an illustration featuring maps of operations, an image that was meant to represent Iran, Iraq and Turkey was shown. Anyone who plays WoW would have had a twinge of recognition on seeing the image; It bears a remarkable resemblance to the Arathi Highlands. 

On comparing images, there’s no doubt the makers of the program were “inspired” by the WoW map. Hey, there’s over 10 million of us WoW players now, someone was bound to notice.

[QUOTE=Clavina;4087262]  The little unshaded bit is supposed to be Syria and yellow bit of Iraq is almost the right shape/size but Turkey and Iran are seriously warped!

I think that is supposed to get fixed in the next Middle East patch 6.6.5
