Dear AskAlgorithm:
I find that I am slightly disappointed with the Northrend continent. I expected a lot more “frozen tundra, arctic excursion” type zones, and instead I’m given a desert wasteland, and hot springs in Borean Tundra, and a pleasant meadow with a little bit of snow in Howling Fjord.
Do you think there is a greenhouse gas problem going on? Have the gnomes finally gone too far and are causing global warming?

First of all, the very idea that gnomes could EVER go too far is preposterous. Absolutely ridiculous. If anything, the gnomes haven’t gone far enough with their mechanical pursuits! Technology can help the environment. Look at Hybrid cars!

Azeroth’s temperature (apparently) doesn’t seem to change drastically over the course of the year. You’ll notice that Azshara continues its 24/7 display of fall foliage with no sign of winter. Stranglethorn Vale contains, year round, the highest ball-sweat-per-capita. The trolls are oh-so-very proud.
