-'''Captain Placeholder''' was originally created purely as a temporary measure in the beta version of the game, allowing players to instantly teleport from [[Menethil Harbor]] to [[Auberdine]], when some of the boat paths had yet to be implemented. His counterpart, [[Captain Noteo]] would take travelers from Auberdine to Menethil Harbor. After the retail launch a glitch in the normal operation of the Menethil Harbor-Auberdine boat path prompted Blizzard to reinstate Captain Placeholder until a fix could be included in an upcoming patch. Blizzard fixed the glitch in an April 2005 patch.

-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 petitioned Blizzard to bring him back in some form, and others created a song called the [[Lament of Captain Placeholder]].
