Normalcy in Goldshire

I believe I've mentioned a few times that I have some low level toons on Retail WoW's Moon Guard server. For the most part I've done some basic questing with them, mainly clearing the Starting Area and the adjacent First Zone. In the case of  questing close to Stormwind, that means interacting with quest NPCs in Goldshire.

So, when I logged into one of said toons that I'd last parked at the Lion's Pride Inn, I actually got a whisper directed at me. 

In Retail, by default if you get a whisper it pops up in a separate Chat Tab, so I didn't notice it at first while I waited for my PC to catch up with all the toons in the immediate area.* But when I did, I got an existential sense of dread. After all, the last time this happened I got some pretty explicit queries**, but I figured I ought to at least look at what was said.

That was... normal.

It was unusual in that it was an actual normal whisper. So I replied:

I think the person misunderstood that I actually was parked there due to quest turn-ins, but it could be worse.

At least somebody was looking out for the lowbies on Moon Guard...

*I've discovered that it takes about 5 seconds or so for all the toons in an area to appear on my screen when I've logged into Retail. I get the impression that the engine is polling the server for everyone in the area, and that it's not exactly a very swift response. My current internet connection is 600/600 mb, so there's plenty of bandwidth for items as simple as that, so I suspect the engine for this is a wee bit unoptimized, especially since Classic WoW does not have those problems.

**No, not the ones I actually posted here on the blog. The ones not published here were a wee bit more direct and rated "M for Mature".

EtA: Added an extra "*" to clarify a statement about toons appearing after a login.
