Blue sky, white clouds and green grass, players "replicate" WinXP classic wallpaper Bliss in "World of Warcraft: the Age of Dragons"
CTOnews.com, January 9 (Xinhua)-- A nostalgic World of Warcraft player struggled to find a scene in the O'Nehara Plain in the expansion "Dragonflight" and finally found a scene "replicating" the blue sky, white clouds and green grass scene of the WinXP system classic wallpaper "Bliss".
He said he looked for multiple angles on the Ohn'ahran in World of Warcraft: the Age of Dragons and finally found a scene very close to Bliss at coordinates X55.7 and Y60.8. He then uploaded the picture to the r/wow sub-section of the Reddit community and garnered more than 2100 support on his first day of launch.
CTOnews.com Lecture: the O'Enhara Plain is named after O'Nehara, the god of the wilderness who holds the power of the wind. The terrain of the awakening coast gradually rises to this lush meadow, and the breeze and running water nourish the rich hills and plains. The topography of this area is very obvious, ranging from high mountains to fountains spewing steam. (the above information is from the World of Warcraft website.)
Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft game stopped supporting the WinXP platform in 2017, but many World of Warcraft players still like the WinXP platform very much.
CTOnews.com learned that the "Bliss" wallpaper in the WinXP system was photographed by photographer Charles O'Rear in a wine country in California in early 1996, five years before the launch of Windows XP. After O'Rear sold the photo as a photo library, Microsoft acquired full rights to the photo in 2000 and gave it the iconic name "Bliss", which is still in use today.
