No Wolpertinger and Pink Elekk quests for Europe
Blizzard has confirmed that the absence of the
Catch the Wild Wolpertinger and
Pink Elekks on Parade quests on European realms is not a bug. These "get drunk and see creatures" quests were
removed to comply with "regional game rating requirements". We can surmise from this that at least one of the European countries is unwilling to allow virtual inebriation in a game partially targeted to teenagers.
We usually think that the U.S. is more prudish about these kinds of non-violent topics than Europe, but obviously that is not the case here. Personally, I think these quests are pretty innocuous and the near blindness you get when you get hammered in-game isn't exactly encouraging young drunkenness. But I do see how some would disagree with me.
We are researching this, but in the meantime, do you know which region(s) are causing the removal of these
Brewfest quests from Europe?
