Reader comments — ahh, yes, the juicy goodness following a meaty post. [1.Local] ducks past the swinging doors to see what readers have been chatting about in the back room over the past week . You know, Archdruid Fandouche Toolhelm Fandral Staghelm sure does ask for a lot of Morrowgrain … So what’s up with that ? Shade : He constructed a World Tree without the blessing of the dragon flights, causing a tree that is warped and corrupted enough that it’s being invaded by harpies, grell and grelkin, and corrupting the furbolgs that are supposed to be living happily on it. A tree that invites the invasion of satyr — and the satyr are referenced in the War of the Ancients trilogy as being products of Sargeras, warping some dude with a god complex. Silithus ? He defended Silithus once, yes — and watched his son ripped apart before his eyes in the process. That broke him. He shattered the Sceptre of the Shifting Sands , the key to opening the Gates of Ahn’Qiraj , when the dragon flights asked him to keep guard over it in the event that the Qiraj returned. He said he was done with the dragon flights and done with protecting the place. His last words upon leaving the scene were as follows: “My son’s soul will find no comfort in this hollow victory, dragon. I will have him back. Though it takes millennia, I will have my son back!” You want to know what he’s doing with the morrowgrain? He’s trying to find a way to use it to bring his son back from the dead. He may have been a “leader” at some point, but after the War of the Shifting Sands , everything — and I mean everything — that man does is somehow related to his son’s death. … well, at least, that’s what I’m putting my money on.

World of Warcraft and Philosophy got released a little while back — it’s a book by Luke Cuddy and John Nordlinger that examines WoW-related topics like roleplaying and the Corrupted Blood plague , and ties them into philsophical ideas and thinking. TechFlash has now posted an interview with Nordlinger , and it’s a good read as well. Nordlinger says that one reason they chose to talk about World of Warcraft in this way is that it’s so incredibly big — when you have 12 million (give or take a few at this point) people playing a game with a GDP larger than some smaller nations, you’re going to touch on all sorts of interesting ethical, moral, and other philosophical ideas. He says the book has been pretty popular, and a few universities are currently considering teaching courses based on the material, not only because it’s interesting, but thinking about the game in this way helps improve abstract thinking in general. And perhaps most interesting, he says that reading the book could help players better make ethical and moral decisions in the game. Just ninja-ing the mount from an Onyxia raid might not mean much to you, but when you look at the bigger picture, and what those actions mean for ethics in general, Nordlinger says the book might help players “make more aware decisions, if not different decisions.” Of course, in practice, trying to explain higher philosophy to ninjas might not have the desired effect, but it does seem true that exploring the higher meanings of this game and the intents of the people playing it might put a little more meaning into the pixels as well.

Has this feature suddenly been turned into Around Arkham Asylum? Not quite, although I might be game for an Around Rapture feature sometime in mid-February. This max-distance shot of the mage quarters in Stormwind, submitted by Wrezolution of Twilight’s Hammer-EU, is indeed startlingly reminiscent of something you’d see while dressed in a cape and hanging upside-down from a gargoyle. Watch out when you glide kick, though — it’s a heck of a long way to the ground here. 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 .

Check out this really cool article all about Pilgrim’s Bounty ends today

Click here to learn the secrets of making gold in WoW
Pilgrim’s Bounty ends tonight at 1 minute before midnight, server time. That means today is the last day to do the following: Get really frustrated fighting people for wild turkeys . Hit people in the head with cranberries. Crash the opposing faction’s dinner parties. Coerce a druid for a chance at the Raven Lord while wearing Puritan attire . Go from 0 to 350+ in Cooking quickly, easily, cheaply . Even if you aren’t interested in chasing turkeys and looking like a Mayflower reject, I highly recommend taking advantage of leveling Cooking. To get the Winter Veil Gourmet during the Feast of Winter Veil , you’ll need 325 cooking. And of course there are all of those yummy food buffs. For a complete list of Pilgrim’s Bounty achievements, please see our OverAchiever Guide . Have fun with your last minute, food-related fun!

Our podcast (which is nominated for a Podcast Award , by the way — this is the last time we’ll ask you to vote for us over there, since voting ends on November 30th) is headed back to the virtual airwaves as usual, and this week we’re bringing two new voices into the mix. We’ll welcome not only C. Christian Moore , informally known as Colby, to the show (he’s the new author of our PvP Blood Sport column), but also Kelly Aarons, informally known as Cadistra, both of WoW Eh and our brand new comic here on WoW.com . Should be a lot of fun — they’ll chat with Turpster and I about the biggest stories of the past week, including Pilgrim’s Bounty and some superfast cooking leveling, the game’s 5th anniversary and what things were like back when it all began , and this GDKP system everyone’s using , as well as other player-created looting systems. Sounds like a full show (and that doesn’t even include answering your emails and our other silliness). It all kicks off at 3:30pm Eastern/8:30pm GMT this afternoon over on our Ustream page (or on your iPhone or iPod touch , or just after the break if you want to do it that way) and if you are listening live, don’t forget to show up a little early for the pre-show, and stay a little later for the aftershow. Hope to see you this afternoon!
