Around Azeroth Beta Edition: And I will hug him and squeeze him and name him George

"Wandering the wilds of Pandaria, I stumbled across these fat little silkworms," writes beta tester and squishable pet enthusiast Bethany. "When I saw they were beasts, I couldn't contain myself. I had to see if they were tameable, and sure enough they were! So, I am happy to have my own wonderful silkworm companion following me around, gobbling up everything in site. Maybe some day he will be a beautiful butterfly." Well, if you want a beautiful butterfly, there are plenty of those out there to tame. That thing you've got there looks poisonous.

Around Azeroth Beta Edition: Welcome to the jungle

by Elizabeth Wachowski RSS on May 5th 2012 (11 days ago)

Image
"I was mindlessly running around the Jade Forest the other day, killing random creatures in an attempt to get the hang of my premade draenei monk," writes beta tester Myriana of Staghelm (US-A). "I was in the middle of attacking a talbuk when suddenly she was swimming through air! This lasted for about 20 minutes before I disconnected and logged back in to my poor monk falling to her death." My guess? The pandaren really don't like it when other races co-opt their culture and become monks, so they use their powers to levitate them and then drop them to their doom.

Around Azeroth Beta Edition: Prince of snakes

by Elizabeth Wachowski RSS on May 4th 2012 (12 days ago)

Image
Hey, Anduin Wrynn is the Heir of Slytherin! And he used his dagger and serpents to brutally murder those pandaren lying face-down behind him. I didn't see that plot twist coming. Submitter Michael snapped this shot of the Prince of Stormwind hanging out in Pandaria, where he's apparently decided to learn the ways of the locals and become a neutral quest giver. His dad must just hate that he's talking to Hordies.

Around Azeroth: The ethereal being from the wrong side of the tracks

by Elizabeth Wachowski RSS on May 3rd 2012 (13 days ago)

Image
"They were really quite different," writes submitter Sarabande of Elements on Aggramar (US-A). "She was of the arcane, ensconced in the ivory towers of Azeroth amongst dusty books, scrying glasses and magi. He was of the shadow, lurking in the dank, cobwebbed cellars beneath the inn, smelling of brimstone, or following his warlock as she practiced her dark arts. And yet ... there was something."

Around Azeroth: Spread your wings and dance

by Elizabeth Wachowski RSS on May 2nd 2012 (14 days ago)

Image
Submitter Kyx of Fury of the Storm on Zangarmarsh (US-H) took a break from studying for finals to send in this picture of a rare female orc rogue sighting in the wild. "I always knew that female orcs had the best dance of all time (Editor's note: OF ALL TIME!), but throw in a set of legendary daggers, and you've got yourself a party," she writes. "Just watch the hands, mister."

Around Azeroth Beta Edition: Science fiction double feature

by Elizabeth Wachowski RSS on May 1st 2012 (15 days ago)

Image
This is the last Enormous Monster beta screenshot for a while, I promise. Submitter Riyahnasheed of Epic on Azuremyst (US-A) and his long-suffering fiancée Zulron set up this druid-related Mystery Science Theater 3000 knockoff after noticing how much an owlbeast fighting a giant moth looks like a trashy horror movie. I truly wish that we could have an MST3K accompaniment for World of Warcraft. It could make pointless grinding and long raids bearable, just like the Twilight movies are only remotely tolerable while listening to the Rifftrax and drinking heavily.

Around Azeroth: Deep impact

by Elizabeth Wachowski RSS on Apr 30th 2012 (16 days ago)

Image
Did Tinkerbell try to get through a force field? Submitter Kaelstra sent in this screenshot of an unidentified object hitting a magical barrier inscribed with runes before exploding into a cloud of pink motes. It also vaguely resembles the Mass Effect 3 title screen. I'm not sure where this is from, although the runes make me suspect that it's related to Malygos or Coldarra. Can anyone place it?

Around Azeroth Beta Edition: An expensive place of worship

by Elizabeth Wachowski RSS on Apr 29th 2012 (17 days ago)

Image
The opening storyline in the Jade Forest features plenty of fighting over territory and loyalty in the new land of Pandaria. But no one seems to be interested in the most valuable commodity in the Jade Forest -- the jade itself. You would think that the goblins, at least, would be smart enough to strip the temples and statues down and sell the valuable mineral back in the old world, but no, they're too busy running errands for monkey people and kung fu bears. What's the Azerothian equivalent of $3,000 an ounce? (Thanks to Foofy of Baelgun [US-A] for this Temple of the Jade Serpent screenshot!)

Around Azeroth Beta Edition: CSI Pandaria

by Elizabeth Wachowski RSS on Apr 28th 2012 (18 days ago)

Image
Submitter Leviathan of Darksorrow (EU-H) was exploring the Krasarang Wilds when he came upon the skeletons of these seven dwarves. Snow White was never accused of any wrongdoing, but rumors persist that she was the beneficiary of seven substantial life insurance payouts and has been seen riding a brand-new motorcycle through the Valley of the Four Winds, leaving a trail of empty Milwaukee's Best cans in her wake.

Around Azeroth Beta Edition: The Darkshore missile crisis

by Elizabeth Wachowski RSS on Apr 27th 2012 (19 days ago)

Image
"On my way from Moonglade to Teldrassil, my attention wandered away from WoW," writes beta tester Celsia of Eldre'Thalas (US-A). "Imagine my surprise when I looked back and all these Horde ships were just hanging out off the coast of Darkshore! It looks like the night elves, with some Stormwind ships in tow, are fighting off an attack from the Horde. I don't know what's going on, since the boats aren't populated with NPCs yet ... but it leaves me a little apprehensive."
