You’ll be hearing a lot about WoW’s five years today. We’ve done some hard work in pulling up some interesting things to show you all, and are going to start giving away some cool stuff too . So for today’s Around Azeroth we wanted to do something a little unique. Instead of your typical awesome screenshot, we went with your untypically awesome alpha shot. Back from when WoW was version 0.01 and stuff like that. In the above screenshot you can see some of the early looking models. I don’t think they look particularly bad. 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@gmail.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: Five years later…

Hey guys heres a great article all about Breakfast Topic: Five years

Click here to learn how to level fast

Today is November 23rd, and that means it’s the fifth anniversary of the release of World of Warcraft . That’s a long time! Especially in the high-risk world of MMOs, where a bad launch can mean your whole game is doomed , or a sudden change in gameplay can make your whole audience rear up on its hind legs at you. Thankfully, Blizzard has made WoW a living, breathing document, a world that constantly changes and evolves to match its players, which is what makes it so accessible. Throughout dozens of patches , tiers upon tiers of raid bosses , waves of dailies, faction grinds and honor grinds , legendaries and greens, WoW has managed to keep growing and growing along with its subscriber count . And of course, you’ve been there, too. Maybe not for the whole five years like some of us, but everyone’s experienced the game in their own way. So what about you? How long have you been with the game? What’s your favorite memory of “growing up” in WoW ? Will you keep playing for another five years? Happy anniversary, everybody. Here’s to five more!

Breakfast Topic: Five years

Here is a great article I came across when googling here it is

For some reason, crafting has always been a big part of massively multiplayer games. Maybe it’s their quality as loot-collecting simulators, but from the very early graphical MMOs, players have almost always been able to create and modify and trade and sell items of their own. Though we don’t talk about it as a mechanic much (you press a button and get what you crafted, what’s the big deal), it’s certainly one of the main reasons people play World of Warcraft , and the crafting system has come to not only fuel the economy , but has ended up becoming one of the best ways to show off and present your customized character. So our question today is: what’s your favorite or most important crafting item? I’m in the middle of leveling my paladin, and he’s just now reaching the highest reaches of Engineering, which is a skill I’ve never leveled up before, but have always wanted to. I haven’t gotten together the gold for epic flying yet (well on my way at level 73), but I did make normal flying machine as soon as I could. And my big goal with this character, other than getting him raiding ASAP, is to make the Mekgineer’s Chopper — ever since we first saw it in the early days of Wrath , I’ve planned to get a character up high enough to make it. I know, I know, I can buy it, but for me it’s a crafting thing — I want to go out, find what I need to find, and craft it with my own virtual hands. Any other crafted items that have you wanting to make something for yourself?
