So. With the latest WoW patch, Blizzard saw fit to "update" the voices of certain NPCs. They changed Sylvanas' and Varimathras' at least.
AND IT IS TERRIBLE. Sylv sounds LIKE A MANA-DRUGGED SIN'DOREI MAGE! I CANNOT TAKE THAT VOICE SERIOUSLY! And Varimathras does not have that smooth, low, oh-so-evil speech; he sounds kind of like Arthas' actor, trying to pitch his voice low.
I am perhaps more upset than I should be.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BLIZZARD?!
Perhaps it is a mistake, though I doubt it.
