Around Azeroth: The inappropriately used throne

Posted on Jan 21, 2010 under screenshots | No Comment

Filed under: , ,

Sometimes we get submissions to Around Azeroth that are not screenshots, but are nevertheless difficult to pass up. I could not in good conscience let this effort by Longrangedps of Ner’zhul go unrewarded. He writes that he took this picture at Blizzcon, adding, “Totally worth a full day of walking around with a newspaper, an extra pair of shorts, and toilet paper.”

Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We’d love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!

Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word “Azeroth” in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing — use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, Val’kyr on mounts, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran. Older screenshots can be found here.

Around Azeroth: The king of the Melpomene

Posted on Jan 21, 2010 under screenshots | No Comment

Filed under: , ,

Valafar of <Sanguine Brood> on Exodar couldn’t wait for Carnival to get some beaded trinkets this year. Donning a glittery costume, complete with angry-drama-guy mask, he headed out to the Eye of Eternity for the weekly raid quest and walked away with five Emblems of Frost and Emblems of Triumph. And unlike at Mardi Gras, he didn’t even have to take his top off to get them.

Around Azeroth: An army of one

Posted on Jan 21, 2010 under screenshots | No Comment

Filed under: , ,

We’ve gotten several submissions this weekend of the newest gold seller tactic. Dead body graffiti is apparently old school now — the latest trend is armies of identical gold sellers, spelling out the name of a site, marching in formation around Stormwind/Orgrimmar. Ben of Quel’thalas-EU sent in this particular screenshot, but they’ve also been spotted on Sargeras-EU and Daggerspine-EU.

Around Azeroth: Good, bad, I’m the cow with the gun

Posted on Jan 21, 2010 under screenshots | No Comment

Filed under: , ,

Pokwan of Shadow Council writes in that he’s “one young tauren warrior who’s had enough of dwarven scum invading Mulgore to dig carelessly into the Earth Mother.” Most people just confine themselves to doing a couple of those annoying starting level quests. Violence is never the answer, Pokwan! Wait. In Azeroth, it’s actually always the answer. Never mind.

Around Azeroth: Let us prey

Posted on Jan 21, 2010 under screenshots | No Comment

Filed under: , ,

Attention worshippers: your god is vastly inferior to the insect god. With eight legs, it can light fires, smite unbelievers, and deliver commandments with maximum efficiency. It also has the ability to paralyze and devour competing deities, which your run-of-the-mill supreme being lacks. All bow to the insect god! (Thanks to Krem for this Old Kingdom screenshot.)

Around Azeroth: Magical thinking

Posted on Jan 16, 2010 under screenshots | No Comment

Filed under: , ,

Looking at this picture, one can only presume that flight-form druids are like ants — they can carry many times their own weight in food. Druidess Hernia of <Mumra> on Skullcrusher-EU has captured a wild zhevra, which she will now bring to her nest, devour, and regurgitate to feed her family of little moonkins.

Around Azeroth: An untenable situation

Posted on Jan 16, 2010 under screenshots | No Comment

Filed under: , ,

Bored in Nagrand (the zone), Bigtallyho of <Cataclysm> on Nagrand (the server) decided to engage in a little recreational Lost One-tossing. However, his arm grew weak over time, and he could no long hurl them all the way over the fire. They stuck there, impaled on the firewood. And that’s how draeneikabobs were discovered. Mmm … corrupted.

Around Azeroth: Waistline envy

Posted on Jan 16, 2010 under screenshots | No Comment

Filed under: , ,

In the news today: A study from Oxford University reports that fat stored in the buttocks and thighs is healthier than fat stored in the abdomen, since the lower body fat produces several disease-fighting hormones. Perhaps this helps explain why the curvier Lady Sylvanas has managed to live so long, while regular skinny undead seem to die at an alarmingly fast rate. Erogüro of <Queens of the Pwn Age> on Suramar paused to admire the Lady’s trim waistline during a recent Halls of Reflection run.

Around Azeroth: Waiting in vain

Posted on Jan 16, 2010 under screenshots | No Comment

Filed under: , ,

Disappointed with the content in Wrath of the Lich King, Cygnus of <Tetractys of the Decad> on Drenden has decided to be first in line to greet Deathwing at Grim Batol. He sent in the following poem/rant/Unabomber-esque screed about tanking in WotLK:

  • Cygnus is waiting. Cygnus is a protection warrior that, like many heroes, was promised glory in the frozen north. Cygnus arrived in the freezing wastes to find no glory, but only that all the crowd control is now solely his job. Cygnus looked up to a sky with no sun, only to see a drake he had to ride, depriving him from his sword. Cygnus loved to learn new abilities during his training, and felt miserable when he was ordered to ride and charge with a lance. Cygnus hates being cold. Cygnus has had it with the Lich King. Cygnus is in Wetlands until the voices in his head stop calling for a “taunt”. Cygnus is now at the doors of Grim Batol, where the sun shines, and a new promise of glory will be made. Cygnus is waiting.

Around Azeroth: Throwing specialization

Posted on Jan 16, 2010 under screenshots | No Comment

Filed under: , ,

Hell hath no fury like an undead woman scorned, as Flówers of Kilrogg-EU recently learned. She’s been having an illicit affair with a Forsaken rogue. Unfortunately, the happy couple was caught in the act by his wife, who happened to also be a particularly skilled rogue. Flówers had no choice but to grab her clothes off the floor and run from the furious fan of knives. But she might have been in too much of a hurry — as you can see, she accidentally took her paramour’s shoulders and chestpiece!
