NXE Avatars receive new formal wear
Like most foppish gamers, we've been politely castigating Microsoft for the improvident dearth of formal Avatar clothing -- so much so that we're inclined to use the words "castigating" and "improvident" in a single sentence. How are we meant to enjoy the NXE when our on-screen representation fails to capture our posh, everyday attire? To think, there are brutish button mashers who venture online wearing naught but jeans and a body rag! To that we say, "Hmph! And good day!"Thankfully, Microsoft has now recognized the erudite e-citizens of Xbox Live, releasing a new set of Avatar clothes: Gentlemen Blue Tuxedo Black Tuxedo Shirt with Cummerbund Black Trilby Bowler Hat Noble Women Elegant Ball Gown Little Black Dress Formal Trouser Suit Elegant Watch Red '60s Shades Strappy High Heels Platform Shoes You'll find them in the Avatar Customization menu, most likely next to some uncultured "threads."

We've talked about 2 manning Karazhan, Shaman-tanking Karazhan, and Paladining Karazhan.

It all started, Don Claus of the Stormwardens guild on the US Dragonmaw server tells us, with a pretty simple comment: "I'd love to see Tankin tank Prince in a dress." The Stormwardens decided to take it one step further and just slap suits on everyone. What followed is a story of a group revellers seeking to join the fabulous night life of Karazhan.
