Shifting Perspectives: Flight form, not just for flying anymore
You veritable shape-shifter you, you've leveled, quested, and hit at least 68. As you know, you now get the express privilege of one of the coolest things in the game, Druid Flight Form. Sure, for the first while, simply soaring over Outlands is teh coolest, but after a while, you start to wonder if there is something more that flight form is good for besides high altitude tourism. Don't even get me started on how cool the Swift Flight Form is once you hit level 70.Flight form does have distinct advantages over regular flying mounts, and rather than bore you with that, since you probably already know about them, consider these interesting uses for your newly acquired and admittedly overpowered form. Feel free to /evillaugh at this point.
Around Azeroth: Flying over Shattrath
Sure, once you get a flying mount, these previously unusual overhead angles of locations in Outland become old news -- completely boring and uninteresting. But try to remember for a moment the excitement of you first took off on that flying mount and started zooming around Outland, taking screenshots of absolutely everything. That's what this screenshot, sent to us by Addie, is all about.Do you have a unique shot of Azeroth or Outland that you'd like to show off to the rest of the world?

Around Azeroth: Ca-caw.
Imagine this: you're a Druid who's just finished his or her flight form quest. What do you do?! Well, according to the screenshots that land in my mailbox, you start looking for amusing places to take screenshots of yourself -- as shown in this shot by Satarus of Khaz Modan. I can agree with the feeling: ca-caw!Do you have a unique shot of Azeroth or Outland that you'd like to show off to the rest of the world? Tell us about it by e-mailing aroundazeroth@gmail.com!

Around Azeroth: Super elf!
I'm really not convinced that it's a bird or a plane. In fact, it looks an awful lot like a blood elf. But a flying blood elf? Kurthon of Aggramar explains that the shot isn't any kind of hack, but instead the combination of the quest item Sunfury Disguise and Druid's Flight Form. The result?

Model grabs from the 2.1 PTR patch (Updated with Tier 6!)
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gaming_news/Brand_new_WoW_models_from_the_2_1_PTR_patch'; MMO-Champion has already started cracking open the Public Test Realm patch with a model viewer, and he's found some pretty cool stuff, including new weapons models (some of which still look unfinished), what appear to be bosses from the Black Temple (or possibly new models from the other opened areas), and even Illidan and the Druid epic flight form. If you're worried about spoilers, don't-- I'm going out of my way here to keep them from you, but definitely don't click on any of those links, because there are definitely spoilers ahoy.And don't click on the "Continue reading" link below either, because I've put a few of the more pertinent snaps after the jump, along with a little healthy speculation about where and what they're for. MMO-Champion promises more, so check over there to see what else he's put up.
WoW Moviewatch: Druid Epic Flight Form
Those folks over at Dementia Myndflame are at it again. Myndflame, for those not in the know, are the folks behind Zinwrath, Illegal Danish, and the upcoming Illegal Danish: Escape From Orgrimmar. They've put out some of the funniest WoW Machinima that I've seen yet, and continue the tradition with this quick spoof ad for what the upcoming Druid epic flight form might be like. We all know that Bliz should nerf druids, and this little video just takes it to the next step.Thanks to Clint Hackleman, Dementia Myndflame's Lead Producer, for the submission!
