China Military TV Channel broadcasted a military documentary about war exercises that took place around the world last year. One of the maps they used showed Turkey, Iraq and Iran (from left to right on the map below).

Now compare it to Arathi Highlands as seen in WoW:

Did they really think this would go unnoticed with so many WoW players around the world?

    Just thought I'd point out that Turkey has quite a large coast on the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea. A quick google search for a map of Turkey would point that out, so all those mountains... are really just symbols for waves in the water... right?

    What was China thinking? Pulling all the wow users to watch more military tv?
