Around Azeroth: The story of T
Submitter Riege of <Death by Design> on Proudmoore writes, “With all of the ’srs bzns’ going on with Cataclysm and people reminiscing over areas that will be forever changed, it’s nice to occasionally reflect upon something totally absurd and silly. Thus I present the following. You know blood elves absolutely must keep up with the [...]
Around Azeroth: The first circle
My son, you’ve seen the temporary fire and the eternal fire; you have reached the place past which my powers cannot see. I’ve brought you here through intellect and art; from now on, let your pleasure be your guide; you’re past the steep [...]
Around Azeroth: The championship factory
In a secret basketball shrine deep beneath Cameron Indoor Stadium, Mike Krzyzewski uses his laser beam to turn another leper gnome into a forward for the Duke Blue Devils. Sadly, the gamma radiation wears off before any of the experimental subjects can obtain success in the NBA. (This screenshot brought to you by Aelyras of [...]
Around Azeroth Beta Edition: What big teeth you have
Despite two straight days of killing orcs, Marston of Moonrunner was not able to raise enough money to pay for a face transplant. So Marston had to settle for a discount Halloween mask of Venom from Spider-Man. It’s probably for the best — do you really want a face transplant performed in a barber shop?

Around Azeroth Beta Edition: Oh, the humanity!
The goblin engineers run a pretty competent zeppelin service, with only the occasional incident of dropping everyone through the floor of the ship to their watery graves. And I’ve never seen a gnomish mechanostrider waiting for a tow truck on the side of the road. But something about this new engineering mount has me worried. [...]
Around Azeroth Beta Edition: Certainly not a trap
Hey, it’s the Giant Mexican Nerdcatching Clam of southern Kalimdor! This wily carnivore lures its lonely prey to the bottom of the ocean through text messages and late-night phone calls. Then, when the intended victim reaches for the present left by his “secret admirer,” the clam slams shut, trapping the unfortunate singleton inside for a [...]
Around Azeroth Beta Edition: Lost in space
Sorry, folks, universe is closed. Moose out front should’ve told you. Beta tester Toranus of <Northrend Travel Agency> on Doomhammer (US-A) was just trying to pay a visit to the Caverns of Time, but ended up stuck in the luminiferous aether of the Twisting Nether. Toranus had to wait for a janitor with a pole [...]
Breakfast Topic: Are there atheists in Azeroth?
This Breakfast Topic has been brought to you by Seed, the Aol guest writer program that brings your words to WoW.com.
Atheism is a rejection in the belief of deities. In the real world, that is easy enough to understand. There are many religions practiced on Earth, and most of them (if not all) worship at [...]
Around Azeroth Beta Edition: I’m going down by the river where it’s warm and green
Not everything is going to be burned to a crisp when Deathwing nukes Azeroth. Some areas, such as the godforsaken quillboar-hole known as the southern Barrens, will be given new life. Naliaah of <Cryptìc> on Thrall (US-H) sent in this picture of a beautiful glowing green watering hole in the new … wait, glowing? Someone [...]
Around Azeroth Beta Edition: Lessons unlearned
We all know that the first rule of raiding is “Don’t stand in things.” (The second rule is “Don’t tick off the tank unless you want to find yourself fleeing for the entrance at a high speed.”) Across the multiverse, hundreds of overcaffienated raid leaders are clawing at their computer screens, screaming at Hampster of [...]
