This is what The Wizard of Oz might have looked like if Dorothy had downed a couple of shots of Jack Daniels before following the yellow brick road. The pink elekk roaming the left side of the screenshot are a nice touch. (Thanks to Shofie of Raids Without Pants on Steamwheedle Cartel [US-A] for this …. HA! She’s wearing pants in her Armory profile! I finally caught one of them wearing pants! Will she get /gkicked now?)

The World of Warcraft is an expansive universe. You’re playing the game, you’re fighting the bosses, you know the how — but do you know the why? Each week, Matthew Rossi and Anne Stickney make sure you Know Your Lore by covering the history of the story behind World of Warcraft.
Once upon a time, there was a little planet called Azeroth. A shining jewel of the universe, this little planet was chosen by the Titans, blessed by their presence and organized into a perfect representation of order and beauty. But that order and perfection wasn’t to last. At some undefined point in the little planet’s future, malevolent proponents of chaos, creatures simply called Old Gods, visited Azeroth’s surface and quickly decided to ruin the harmonic vision of the Titans with their own brutal, corrupt, and chaotic one.
The Titans realized something had happened and returned to find the world they had so carefully balanced in a state of utter chaos. They immediately launched an assault on the Old Gods, but they discovered something strange. The Old Gods had fully integrated themselves with the matrix of the little planet, placing a strange malaise on the inhabitants. If the Old Gods died, so too would Azeroth — and so the Titans imprisoned the Old Gods deep beneath the earth where they could do no further damage. They set to work repairing the planet, leaving various safeguards behind to watch over the world. Satisfied, they left — and they haven’t been seen on Azeroth since.
Today’s Know Your Lore is a Tinfoil Hat edition, meaning the following is a look into what has gone before with pure speculation on why it happened. The events presented are events that happened in Azeroth’s history, but the conclusions are merely theories and shouldn’t be taken as fact.

Kidsake really did something amazing with this machinima. He managed to tell a haunting, interesting story without breaking out into obvious narrative. And while I’m obviously a lavish Johnny Cash fan, I think I can say without bias that the music was a perfect choice for the video’s themes.

The time to strike at the head of the beast will soon be upon us! Focus your anger and hatred on his minions! Wait, no, don’t, because they’re making American Gods into a TV show on HBO. Is there no end in sight for awesome genre TV? I sure hope not.
Yous95 asked:
I was reading Wow Archivist about Patch 0.10, where it mentioned, among all the other changes, that dwarf mages were removed from the game. It got me wondering: If people had leveled a dwarf mage during the time, and then patch 0.10 hit, what happened to their characters? Were they just deleted and had the people lost all the time and effort they put in? Did it automatically switch class/race? Also, do you think Blizzard would be able to suddenly remove a race-class combo without serious repercussions at this stage in the game?
Well, there’s a very simple answer for this one. Patch 0.10 was a pre-release patch, patched in during WoW‘s beta testing phase. Like most beta tests, characters leveled were wiped forever when the retail game went live.
For strictly the beta, though, you could continue to play your dwarf mage even after the race/class option was removed. You just couldn’t make a new one. According to comments on the Archivist post, dwarf mages were eventually race-changed to gnomes near the end of the beta.

It’s another Monday morning, which means it’s time for another short edition of The Queue. Weekend recovery is always rough, because there’s something about Sunday that drives the inquisitiveness out of all of you. I dread Super Bowl Sunday.
Doge asked:
Whenever I find a keystone in archaeology, I hear a certain many-toothed abomination say something. No text or anything, just the sound. Any idea why? It’s quite disconcerting. Are my pursuits in archaeology making me fall under the sway of the Old Gods? Or is it just a bug?
