The Classifieds: David Arkenstone plays a Renaissance fair

The Classifieds brings you weekly news from around the WoW community, including our famous Random Acts of Uberness shout-outs to players who make your WoW sessions memorable.

Renowned instrumental musician David Arkenstone, one of the composers for the WoW and Cataclysm soundtracks, greeted WoW fans at a Renaissance fair in Texas this past weekend with several musical selections from the game.

Arkenstone couldn't resist firing up the crowd with his favorite pirate themes and a foot-tapping version of Bloodsail. Once our WoW-playing contingent made known its enthusiasm for his inn music, he came back at a later show with a surprisingly lyrical rendition of Stonefire (what most players think of as "the" inn song) and Gypsy Rendezvous, the theme from the Argent Tournament.

Arkenstone's not officially on tour, so we can't offer any specific dates and places you might catch him near you, but we'll keep you posted with anything else around the country as it pops up!



Random Acts of Uberness

It's when another player lights up your night with precise play, a wicked sense of humor or unexpected generosity that your login becomes something to remember. Share your Random Acts of Uberness with theclassifieds@wowinsider.com. Keep things brief (150 words or less, please), and be sure to list everyone's character names and home realms or battlegroup. Don't be afraid of sending an entry more than once if it doesn't appear; sometimes internet dragons eat email, and we'd hate to let that keep deserving players from getting their due.

Sizedup Cho'gall, in a random dungeon, and not having met me before, gave me a ring we both needed, just because my equipment was crappy. In the following hour and a half (or more) and despite my -extreme- underperformance (due to equipment), he requeued with me, and gave me advise on how to use correctly my rogue. I think he deserves the nomination, I was having a horrible time in random, everybody kicking me due to my awful WotLK gear and being slaugthered in any cata leveling zone, and that just made my night.

We are a small Level 11 Frostmane Guild and are looking to expand our ranks! In the level 85-game we could use a little bit of everything (we currently have no Rogues that play) and we would love to be able to raid more often than we currently do.
