Thought I would start a new thread for us to post some of our WoW screenshots. Show folks how beautiful this game is. Here's one of my Warlock, Jyx on her fire horse. Zone is U'goro Crater. Pretty place.
And one more flying into a harbor.
Wow that looks neat, soooooo tempted to get started in this.. No won't...... can't....... must ...... resist.......
We're breaking him people!
I'll grab a few nice new ones on my undead priest in Outland this weekend.
Here's one of me approaching the Dark Portal (which gives you access to a new section of the game once you get high enough).
...and here's another as I go through it, I gives you an idea of the scale of things.
*starting to sweat*
Last one for now...this one has a bit of a sad story attached.
A little over a year ago, one of our guild mates passed away. It was quite a shock to us all so we did all that we could really do as a group: We went to a place called The Shrine of the Fallen Warrior and had a kind of in-game Memorial. It was a very moving experience. This was closer to the beginning and even more people showed up in time. I'm the kneeling Orc in the middle with no name over his head (this is before I made my priest).
I've heard stories like this before, very moving.
hey rico, I assume on your new rig you ca run with all the graphics maxed out, right?
Oh, those pictures look so cool. You guys are torturing me with all your talk and photos. Makes me want to play again so bad. I just don't have the money or time to right now.

That was very cool of you guys...
Hey - if anyone would like to give the game a try for FREE for 10 days let me know. I can email you an access key for you to try out the game for free. You will just download the game and play for free for 10 days. If you want to play beyond that, it's easy to just buy the game and keep playing. JOIN THE FUN!
Decorated in Undercity for Halloween....

Pretty sure that's Mark's Paladin.
Here is the Auction House in Orgrimmar littered with skeletons after a big zombie invasion yesterday. Some people are annoyed by this event but I'm loving it!
Yeah - this is part of the Halloween event and has been going on for a few days now. It's kind of fun at first, but when you get zombied and die for about the 100th time it becomes less fun. ;)
I agree and I won't say I was never a little annoyed.
However, I think that's kid of the point. It's a zombie invasion. Zombies aren't going to check if you're PvP flagged or not. Also Blizzard has mentioned that this is a one-time event for WotLK and will never occur again. I figure we should take advantage while it lasts!
The earliest time it happened to me was when they killed the low levels I was working on out in a little inn I was in. So I brought my level 70 there and killed them all! Hehe!
Other players are not too pleased with the scourge. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't in the main cities at the AH. I was checking mail and got whacked.
I'll run my mining operation but can't sell anything because the auctioneers are being killed. You can heal but it takes multiple times and the other to get healed is infect others ??? Maybe they're trying to encourage people to go out questing...I don't know but its getting WAY out of hand.
Why can't real life be THIS easy ! :roflmao
LOL. If I put as much effort into real investments as I do into the AH i'd be rich!
True 'dat!
If anyone has some cool looking interfaces, let's see em! I'll post mine later on tonight.
Scratch that, found one with interface!
Bought my Epic Flying mount today - finally. Cost a lot but it's very cool - and fast. Thanks for help with the gold Mark! :Bow:
Very swanky. I need to stop spending money leveling tailoring and get on my epic mount! I still need about 2.5K gold.

No problem - glad to help. You are so tiny on that thing - is the speed 280 ? Good color pick.
I assume the speed is the standard for epic flying mounts. Yeah, I liked the purple color too. Kind of different.

Except for those that Blizzard gives you, yes they are all 280%

Here's one of Theshat in Shadowform on his standard windrider above Blade's Edge Mountains.
So I spent some time in Northrend last night and got this pretty bad-ass looking mace as an early quest reward.
DANG! That is cool. What class is that character (love the name)?
He's my shadow priest, almost 20% of the way to level 71.
Here's the stats for [Medic's Morning Star]
http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=36881 (http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=36881)
It's literally the first quest reward you get when you walk into Borean Tundra.
I thought this was a-propos for these forums.
Great looking shots. Still have no idea whats going on.
Here's a pic of my Collector Edition Pet Frosty. I even made him bigger with a Pet Biscuit loot card - so he is double normal size.
Rolled myself a Tauren Warrior I'm trying to level 100% protection. Alternating between him and my priest who is 74 at the moment. Here's a shot with the Baby Blizzard Bear pet we all got as a gift for WoW's 4th anniversary. He's like my own little coke bear.
Not sure if I said, but I have a second WOW account going with the Recruit a friend offer. And today, I claimed my new mount. The Zhevra!
So I was waiting for a mob to respawn so I could take him out for a quest on my warrior. I figured I should take a seat and wait for him. I thought it was funny (espeically with the other guy I just took down laying on the floor, I think my warrior is a bit of a sociopath)
Lunar festival going in WOW again. Sort of like the Chinese New Year - lots of fireworks going off!
Cool...
I won't ruin it for people who haven't done the quest yet but here's (from left to right in the second shot) Thrall, Sylvanas Windrunner, me, and a Troll general who's name I can't remember.
AWESOME quest chain.
So here I am as of last night. Level 80, respecced discipline (so no more shadowform where you can't see what I look like) for a bit of instance healing on my epic flyer in Storm Peaks.
Just did this cool quest chain on Saturday. This is what makes WOW so much fun!
I know on Horde side that starts the Battle for Undercity...what do you do on Alliance?

Also Battled in Undercity. Here's another picture before we headed in:
Oh, right. The allies come into Sylvanas' throne room at the end. This is the other POV of my post about 5 posts back which is when I fought for the Undercity.
Rico, what's that buff timer mod you have sitting to the left of your minimap?
Also, here's a cool shot flying through Icecrown when the Alliance (left) and Horde (right) airships were crossing each other.
I think the Bufftimer is part of CTMOD that I use.
Hm it's nice to have it in a movable frame like that. Oh and BTW I couldn't wait for you to hit 80, I rolled a Human mage on Earthen Ring, his name is Stevn and he's level 12. Time to see how the other half lives. Also the XP buff from the fire festival makes leveling good and quick.
Cool. I'll look for him when I'm on some evening.
Very cool frozen solid battlefield where you do on of the Sons of Hodir Daily quests in the Storm Peaks. This, along with the cool ambient music makes for a very cool setting, Blizzard has gotten really good at this with the last expansion.
WOW! That's very cool. Do you need to be 80 to handle that daily?
I'm not 100% sure, there's a quest line in Storm Peaks that starts in the Goblin town of K3 that opens up the Sons of Hodir. The mobs are level 80 but at 79 I'm sure you could take them.
The important thing about them is when you get honored and exalted status you can but some pretty nice shoulder enchants (for you it would be the +14 and then +24 spell power ones).
Reading and looking at this threads makes me really want to join WOW.. well that and the fact that Felicia keeps bugging me about it.

Kenny - I can email you a trial code that would let you download and play the game for free for 10 days. Enough time to see if you like it or not. It doesn't need a super beefy computer either. And it's Mac friendly too.

Check your Yahoo email Kenny. You should have the code and info there to download the game and start your free trial. Make sure to let me know if you do this and your character info. I play on the Earthen Ring server, so try and make a character there to start. My main character is a gnome mage called Reico. I'd be happy to show you around and so on.
Hehe, ok if Kenny is joining then I really will play that level 14 human mage I rolled a week or so ago.
And i'm the opposite Kenny ha ha. Reading this is stopping me from joining it. I know i just know that as soon as i'd start i'd be glued to the screen and it's bad enough now with this forum, the rpg, Danger signs, news at then and waffle on. If i start doing anything else on a computer th divorce papers would be emailed to me. Lol.
I guess the thing is that the game is really good at giving you incremental rewards. If you don't watch yourself you can easily get into the "oh, one more quest, oh one more dungeon, oh one more battleground" mentality.
However, as with anything, in moderation it's a great time.
Hmmm i said the same thing at the beer festival last weekend. 6 hours later doh! Ha ha. Actually i need a better computer if i'm honest, mine struggles with ustream and even google earth so maybe when we can afford a nice new happy computer I'll be asking Rico for that code.
Yeah it's also a bit of a hack to get you playing on the US servers. We'd have to get you a US copy of the game. otherwise they'll stick you on the EU server list.
Oh really. Oh that's no good where's the fun in that. If i was to join i'd want to be waving at you guys. Boo to moody servers.
Oh it's doable, we'd just have to do a few little tricks.
Since I'm a tailor I whipped myself up a Magnificent Flying Carpet to ride around on.
Man - I love those! Wish you didn't have to be like 450 in tailoring to have one. Blizzard needs to let those be sellable.
Heh yeah, then again I believe it's the same for the engineering helicopter.
...or as I like to call it...the ROFLcopter.
There is a gold selling place, www.mmop.com (http://www.mmop.com) that has been putting "creative" messages in WOW lately. Look at this mess of dead bodies in Stormwind. Must have taken some time to leave this message.
Time to resurrect this thread. I won a cool Thunderhead Hippogryph non-combat pet in a draw from The Instance podcast. Redeemed it and snapped a screenshot, isn't he cute?
The code came from one of those trading card game loot cards.
Is anyone in or following the Catyclysm beta?
I'm following news, not in it at all.
No beta for me.
used to play got to expensive tho i do play runescape
No Beta key for me and I wouldn't use it if I had one. I want to see the new stuff when its done and polished.
LotRO was spoiled for me because I spent so much time hardcore beta testing it. It was then I decided to never beta again.
Do many of the Treks in Scifi listeners play on the same server? I am over on Cenarion Circle but many of my friends have quit so I am sort of looking for a new guild / group.
Apparently two pre-cataclysm events will be available after maintenance today! Operation Gnomeregan for Alliance and Zalzane's fall for Horde.
Rico, they're gonna take back your home! :)

WOO-HOO!
Just took back Echo Isles, pretty fun but some of the event waits were a bit long.
Aw cool, apparently in the last beta release they rolled out revised race intros for ALL races, updating the lore right to Cataclysm. Awesome.
go allience
Here's my mage Reico in Ironforge. Thought it was funny to see an in-game ad for the upcoming Blizzcon!
That was a mount giveaway that last year's Blizzcon attendees received in their gift bags. There were quite a few of them on my server last year.
Yeah a few AIE-ers have them, really like that mount :)
Also, it's official, patch 4.0.1 is dropping today. Hope you are ready for the big change to talents etc!
I've been gone from the game for so long I would hardly remember how to operate the keyboard. The same thing happened last time I quit for a while, it was like starting over from scratch except I had a max level toon to play. What woulnd up happening is I raised an alt that became my main and my poor lonely Warlock fell by the wayside. I don't think I ever even got my Lock to 80, I should finish him up. He has a cool name for a Warlock, I think: Zarathos.

Never has a game changed so much over the years. I don't care too much about it. I just want the Halloween festival in the game to start. My favorite in game event!
Yes, the headless horseman! That is a fun boss fight! Are they changing his drops this year? Everyone wanted his flying horse, I recall. So fun to see everyone flying around on broomsticks all month.
Halloween in WOW has begun again!
They just started in SWG today also. Fun Fun
Ah dangit, I shouldn't have clicked the link to this thread, but I did anyway...now my wish to return to Fantasy has intensified. :(
