Why put it there? For exactly this reason - so if there ever is a glitch of some kind, then there's something more interesting to see/explore besides glitchy clipped textures. Personally I love little hidden things like this that "should" never be seen.
All the more if it's a memorial; it doesn't need to be in any place that players will ever see for devs to appreciate it.

If you rotate this "WKM" 180deg it still will be readable as "WKM"... Weird.
Roy Aug 18th 2011 11:01AM
But the K would be upside down.
BlackTiger Aug 18th 2011 12:40PM
rotate twice - horizontaly then vertically

To get to this you might fall underneath Orgrimmar, but then you actually fly upwards inside one of the natural stone pillars, so at the risk of being called a pedant; it's not actually underneath Orgrimmar.
Just sayin'

It stands for Wanna Kill Myself (for playing Horde)
Dude Aug 18th 2011 12:07PM
It's where they keep Orgrimmar's DJ locked up to run the Horde's WKM radio station.
Markhan Aug 18th 2011 1:02PM
Stands for "Warlocks Kill Mages".

It's Aramaic!
It reads, "Here may be found the last words of Joseph of Arimathea: 'He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Holy Grail in the Castle of.....Aaauuugggh.'"

He must have died while carving it.

I used to go to this place quite a bit but they have changed the waterfall in Org from how you get to it (which was near the portals) so I thought it was in-accessible now 0.o
Its actually inside the weird shape rock which has a bigger rock sitting on top of it, right in front of you if standing on the Undercity/STV zep tower =p Tis pretty cool inside tbh ^^

WKM is the intials for one of the game developers that died before the game was released.
Agony Aug 18th 2011 8:28PM
Source? Or speculation?
scartian.wow Aug 18th 2011 10:56PM
Do a google search.
Agony Aug 19th 2011 6:55PM
Did a google search. Found a whole bunch of stuff that linked it to Michel Koiter, despite the fact that "WKM" is nowhere near even REMOTELY close to "MK". So, like I said, source or speculation?

Blizzard designers also left a tribute to fallen comrade. In the Barrens, atop a hill just southwest of Crossroads sits a small shrine. Here, you�ll find a memorial dedicated to an Orc with the initials �M-K.� In the real world, M K was Michel Koiter, a Blizzard illustrator who passed away during production of World of Warcraft.
To reach the memorial, follow a ridge to the southeast and half-way up the hill you�ll find the base of a mound. Go up the short trail to reach the shrine. As a little bonus, if you visit the memorial in spirit form you�ll find a spirit healer named Koiter.

It's the OCLC code for my library.
