World of Warcraft

Weirdness in Terrokar Forest.

I’ve been in the water killing eels (“Rather be Fishin'” quest) and I notice that I’m getting only ~600-700 xp for the kills (levels 62-63 to my then level 63). I had been getting over 1000 xp for such kills just minutes before. And checking the log, I was getting rested bonus. I got this lowered xp for a couple critters other than the eels, too, I’m pretty sure.

After several kills (~20), my xp rate went back to the normal 1000. What’s up with that?

Also, the eels had a growl sound when they attacked. Then a couple times I heard the sound but there was no eel attacking me. The sound seemed close, but no eels other than the one at range that I was shooting.

Later, out of the water, long past that quest, hunting beasts in the forest, I heard that sound again. I heard it a second time when I was not fighting anything at all. Scared the bejeebers out of me. A loud growl right in my ear, but no monster attacking me. There was no message in the chat window (I thought maybe there was some world event happening). What’s up with that?

Did I experience a computer hiccup, or is there a reason my xp awards lowered for a while, and I sometimes heard a strange growl?
