Around Azeroth: You've got to start somewhere

Dec 5th, 2008

And you thought your boss was bad. Vloeken, of <Exiles of Azeroth> on Kirin Tor, gets in some quality bootlicking and groveling time as he's knighted by the Lich King in Acheron Hold. Rest easy, Vloeken. In twenty-five levels you'll get to fulfill every downtrodden worker's dream: killing your boss and stealing all his ill-gotten gains from his corpse. (Note to my editors: I do not plan on raiding you anytime soon.)

Around Azeroth: Partial eclipse of the heart

Dec 3rd, 2008

Nothing weird or wild to see here, folks. Just a pretty little shot of Tinyus of <Guns for Hire> on Gorgonnash back in 2007, taking his ram for a spin in Blackrock Mountain. Azeroth misses you guys, you know. When you left to go to Outland, it was heartbroken! And now you're hanging around with that cheap floozy, Northrend. No wonder it's spending all its time with those bad boy Death Knights now -- it just wants to get your attention.

Around Azeroth: Bibliophilia

Dec 1st, 2008

This picture might look like the inside of a kaleidoscope, but according to Jumzuu of Blade's Edge-EU, it's actually the inside of the inscription trainer's house in Dalaran. "From the outside, it's a normal size building, but inside... it's roomy!" he writes. "It's hard to show both in the same picture." This is also what my fantasy apartment looks like. One question -- exactly how do they access the books on the top shelf with no ladder?

Around Azeroth: Into the mystic

Nov 30th, 2008

Frequent submitter Ben has sent us this lovely screenshot of ... of ... I'm not exactly sure what this is of. It appears to be a picture of someone flying a drake down a laundry chute decorated with runes. The drake also seems to be suffering from an acute case of Lightning Wing and Green Flatulence. I'm not too far into the Wrath content though, having devoted a lot of my time lately to getting the Ambassador title, so maybe this is one of those things that everyone knows about but me.

Around Azeroth: Freefalling

Nov 29th, 2008

When King Mrgl-Mrgl asked Faelthas of Bael'Gun to don a murloc suit and kill the Winterfin murloc leader under the pretext of surrender, he forgot to give Faelthas one vital piece of information. In a related matter, the first test of the Winterfin Caverns trebuchet was a smashing success.

Around Azeroth: The ice queen

Nov 28th, 2008

Now that Thanksgiving is over, we can look forward to endless Christmas jingles and store decorations involving snow, snow, snow. Frost mage Ororo of Kargath is getting into the winter spirit with her own personal blizzard in the icy land of Dun Morogh. But what of those of us who live in warmer climes, like Durotar or Los Angeles? Are we always to be left out of the fun? Well, we may not have a white Christmas, but we'll be laughing in our tank tops when February rolls around and Ororo is burning her staff for firewood.

Around Azeroth: The keep at the end of the world

Nov 26th, 2008

This beautiful shot of Icecrown Citadel at night was taken in Dalaran by Althera of <Asylum> on Aerie Peak. Arthas certainly has better taste in housing than Illidan, doesn't he? But that spire looks pretty unstable. The Dalaran mages could probably take the whole thing down with one well-aimed Pyroblast. Unfortunately, they're too busy giving random level 74s directions to the profession trainers and hiding books in inconvenient places to give it a shot.

Around Azeroth: A little priest

Nov 25th, 2008

Who said that dwarf priests have to be all sweetness and light? Lightbright of <Night Renegades> on Bael'gun is looking decidedly demonic in this shot from Stratholme. I'm not too sure what spells and buffs he's sporting -- my own attempts at priesthood died out at 21 -- but to a layperson, he appears to have a cloud of levitation, an exploding halo, and a hydrocephalic demon head floating above him. Maybe he's just trying to blend in with all the new Death Knights stepping into Northrend?

Around Azeroth: I think we're alone now

Nov 24th, 2008

With so much new content to explore, Mendalieth of <Unseen> and Zebadez of <Embrace of Power> from Burning Steppes-EU may have found the rarest sight in Wrath of the Lich King -- nothing. It's neither zen nor Photoshop powers, though. According to Mendalieth, they've simply situated themself high up in one of those weird albino trees in Crystalsong Forest for a little quality time against the pure white bark. Ah, blood elf love. Imagine how depressed they'll be when they take off their helmets and discover they're both male.

Around Azeroth: The birds

Nov 23rd, 2008

As you can see, Foxyshazam of <Sin> on Icecrown has decided to get his Albino Drake the easy way. He states that this gryphon mount for an Icecrown quest bugged out on him, creating a veritable army of angry armored birds under his command. If I were Alliance on Icecrown, I might want to invest in some engineering goggles to prevent a sudden attack of mysteriously pecked-out eyes.

Around Azeroth: Throwdown at the hootenanny

Nov 19th, 2008

Well, swing your partner off to the side/Grab that kodo and ride, man, ride
It's your fault the tank just died/Get out of the instance

Through the valley, through the gate/Forward march to meet your fate
Saurfang's daughter is your date/At her dad's insistence

(Thanks to Chris for the shot!)

Around Azeroth: Fairy lights

Nov 1st, 2008

Pop quiz, hotshots! What's going on in this picture, submitted by Ben?
  1. A mage is demonstrating the new Arcane Barrage spell from Wrath.
  2. The ghostly spirits of all those who have fallen into the Ironforge lava are coming back for vengeance.
  3. A male and a female gas cloud are totally hooking up right in the middle of town where everyone can see them.
  4. Someone put a Torch of Retribution up to an ogre's behind after the yearly Bean Dip Tasting Festival.

Around Azeroth: Burning frustration

Oct 21st, 2008

It may not seem like much, but this picture is representative of about ten similar shots I've gotten in the past two days. All of them feature multiple Headless Horseman corpses, large groups of frustrated people, and comments along the lines of "AIIEEEEE why won't the STUPID PET drop to get the STUPID ACHIEVEMENT for the STUPID DRAKE." After summoning in his whole guild and still failing to get the drop, Caegal of Genjuros-EU expresses his frustration in the only way available to in-game avatars.

Around Azeroth: Down in the underground

Oct 1st, 2008

We at Around Azeroth do not support exploring the game map beyond the boundaries set by Blizzard, except of course when it results in a really cool screenshot. (As someone who used to lead tour groups into the Caverns of Time pre-BC, and who still possesses a screenshot map of Shadowmoon Valley with developer's notes scrawled across it, I really have very little room to criticize here.)

Lymara of <Critical Mass> on Bronzebeard-EU decided to make a solo expedition to Old Ironforge. But a draenei girl can't be down there alone, especially in such a pretty dress, so she brought along two guard dogs: her Grimtotem Spirit Guide and what seems to be a Worg Pup. Hopefully these beasties are enough to protect her from harm, or at least from lascivious Dark Iron dwarves.

Around Azeroth: This little light of mine

Sep 8th, 2008

We've all heard that shadow priests melt faces in PvP, but this is the first instance I've seen of holy priests burning your heart out from the inside in PvE. According to Taighan of Suramar, her husband Shadovare respecced from shadow to holy to help his wife out in the lower level instances. Taighan notes that this picture is of him Holy Novaing a large group inside the Stockades. For some reason, the neat rows of Defias, the sparkling lights, and the illusion of light bars across the screen remind me of Guitar Hero. Hmm ... mixing Guitar Hero and WoW -- Activision Blizzard's plan for world domination?
