"Inside our hearts dear Placeholder will always be alive!"
Captain Placeholder was originally created purely as a temporary measure, allowing players to travel from Menethil Harbor to Auberdine while a glitch in the boat system was being addressed. Captain Placeholder quickly became quite popular among players due to his ability to instantly transport players to the other continent at their own leisure, instead of waiting for the boat to arrive. He was a popular source of jokes for players, so when Blizzard removed him, some "fans" of the NPC created the Lament of Captain Placeholder.
