Around Azeroth: G-g-g-ghost cow!
"While awaiting an audience with Garrosh Hellscream about excavation projects in the Vale and how we proud members of the Shado-Pan will not stand for the desecration of our sacred lands, I encountered something quite peculiar," writes submitter Shenwei of Revolution on Wyrmrest Accord (US-H). "Being a shaman, I am attuned rather well to both the elemental and spiritual planes, and if you look closely at this image of Garrosh giving an up-and-coming adventurer their next assignment, there is a ghostly tauren speaking to him in the background. Is this the beloved former chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof attempting to be an adviser from beyond the grave, or is it someone deciding to play a prank on the Warchief?"

Around Azeroth: Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Frequent submitter Arugadh of The Brotherhood of Iron on Wyrmrest Accord (US-A) has taken another hit for the team and returned to Gallywix's Pleasure Palace for some screenshots. She doesn't want to be there, she'd rather be pulling weeds on her farm for the four hundredth consecutive day, but duty calls. This time, she's visited his private sauna, which always makes me think of the Simpsons episode where someone tries to kill Homer by locking him in a steam room. Also, is that hookah wrapped around that entire end table? Want to see your own screenshot here? Send it to aroundazeroth@wowinsider.com.

Around Azeroth: How little we know
"I can be rather obtuse when it comes to seeing things in the game," writes submitter Gimmlette of Spectacular Death on Llane (US-A). "Something that everyone knows is there can be completely missed by me. I was heading over to Karazhan to do my weekly fail run (Seriously Attumen. Just give me the mount and I'll stop killing you once a week.) and I saw something in the tower. Flying in for a closer look, I was astonished to see these gryphons and another portal. Has this always been here? I wouldn't be surprised if it has. There's so much to look at in the game, but I've been coming to Karazhan every week for over six months and this is the first time I've noticed this. I did not see a wind rider, but the Horde could use this flight path, too. It reminds me of Blackrock Mountain where the entry to Blackwing Descent is on the terrace where the final battle with Nefarian occurs in Blackwing Lair. Still, we got all excited earlier in the year when it was noted the cobwebs had been removed from Karazhan. Could this be a precursor of something coming? If you want to check it out for yourself, it's about a quarter of the way down the tower from the top. There's not enough room in the space for a stone or a lot of people entering the portal."

Around Azeroth: You've changed, Harold
You're not the squirrel I married all those years ago. I know, I know, we all get older and our bodies change. But really, Harold, you've let yourself go. What happened to your soft fur? Your smooth skin? Remember back when you used to spend time with me in the evenings, instead of retreating inside that man-cave you carry on your back? I'm afraid that we've grown too far apart, Harold. I'm leaving you. Don't try to catch up with me, either, because I know you can't run as fast as you used to.

Around Azeroth: Preaching to the damned
"So my ministry to the poor, downtrodden critters of Azeroth continues just swimmingly ... almost," writes submitter Arugadh of The Brotherhood of Iron on Wyrmrest Accord (US-A). "I've found that once converted, my congregation of critters will follow me into the very depths of Icecrown itself, across forbidding mountains, through frozen seas, over tall spiky walls. But the devotion stops just short of actually helping me when I attempt to 'convert' one of the Scourge to the Light. Granted, said conversion usually means leaving said Scourge lying in massive heaps of dead bones all over the landscape, but you'd think that my newly-converted devoted congregation would be willing to put their faith into practice by helping. But no. They were content to watch, squawking their encouragement, then wandering off in search of fish when I tried to beg for help. Stupid flightless waterfowl. It was also my luckless discovery that CRZ phasing disperses my critter congregation, which means that any plans for leading a sheep/chicken/cat invasion of Stormwind are out of the question at the moment."

Around Azeroth: Evolution or devolution?
Did the filthy, savage race of trolls really evolve into the noble elves we see today? Or, through some unholy process, did the shamanistic, nature loving trolls somehow degenerate and become a gang of elitist magic junkies? Submitter Hallebruinja of Preemptive Retribution on Silver Hand (US-A), standing in the middle, represents an intermediate form. Want to see your own screenshot here?

Around Azeroth: Frozen in time
"While wandering the Timeless Isle and completing some errands for Wrathion, I came across this odd specimen," writes submitter Braedori Sunhawk, Horde Branch Manager of AAMS on Cenarion Circle (US-H). "I am sure the magisters of Silvermoon will be quite intrigued. We should decidedly investigate the long-term effects and possible ramifications of our ability to alter time, albeit in small segments." Want to see your own screenshot here?

Around Azeroth: So hoist up the John B's sail
"Spectacular Death likes to provide answers to the questions you didn't know needed to be asked," writes submitter Gimmlette. "This time, it's how many pirates will fit in the crow's nest in Booty Bay. Step one is to get everyone into a raid. Step two is to order them to take their summons and like it. Step three is to have everyone greet Dread Captain DeMeza. Our tests conclude that the crow's nest holds many more than the dozen we had online before our 'Raid Like a Pirate' event. Yes, there is a reason Ollivor is sitting on the top of the mast. Do you know what's inside a voidwalker? Now you know why all the rum is gone." Want to see your own screenshot here?

Around Azeroth: I'm not your personal taxi
"So what happened was ... I'm out leveling and my guildmate Roowen offers to join me," writes submitter Warriormama of Equinox on Llane (US-A), who does not know that for medical personnel, the phrase 'what happened was' is an indication that the story about to be told is an utter falsehood. "Since she can fly and I cannot, she starts shuttling me around from quest to quest to make traveling go a little faster. Next thing I know, I'm stranded on a tree branch far up and looking down over Townlong Steppes as she flies away." It might be time to consider paying for gas, Warriormama.

Around Azeroth: And you can send me dead pandas every morning
"I saw the picture submitted by Shadanah of Hyjal (US-H) today, and it immediately reminded me of a similar incident that occurred the other day," writes submitter Udaenor of The Expandables on Thunderlord (US-H). "I too was on my farm in Halfhill innocently going about my daily chores when I discovered a pandaren named Farmer Erryei of Destromath (US-H) lying in my field. As any concerned undead rogue would do when faced with a lone undefended individual of the same faction, I reached down to check for a pulse -- perhaps also for a bit of a taste, but I digress. I became concerned when I discovered that the pandaren had no pulse. I decided it was best to quickly 'dispose' of the body, as I had a questionable reputation with the local Halfhill constabulary. I had nothing to do with this body, guards. Really." Want to see your own screenshot here? Send it to aroundazeroth@wowinsider.com. We strongly prefer full-sized pictures with no UI or names showing.

Around Azeroth, Beta Edition: An office romance
"I spotted this pair of druids sharing a meal near my garrison in Shadowmoon Valley," writes beta tester Riyahnasheed. "I'm not certain if it's a pair of coworkers commiserating after a hard day's work, or a budding office romance. I suppose we will find out if a plate of spaghetti appears and a meatball starts being nudged back and forth in future patches. Just think -- we might see winged kittens out of this!

Around Azeroth: I still see dead people
"The link above is from over a year ago," writes submitter Shadanah of The Wolves of War on Hyjal (US-H), who has apparently had a very long summer that has destroyed his ability to measure the passage of time. "I returned to my farm, found a dead guy, prayed over him, and went on about my business. I came back home again, a year later, and I find this. Why do you do this to me, Blizzard?"

Around Azeroth, Beta Edition: The birds and the bees
Beta tester Zeebu might look fierce on the outside, but like all hunters, he's just a big cuddly pet lover/obsessive animal hoarder underneath it all. When he found Pepe hanging around his garrison while on a break from questing, he couldn't have been happier. Pepe may only be your friend for an hour, but the memories will last a lifetime.

Around Azeroth, Beta Edition: Animal attraction
What do wild animals think when they see a druid in feral form? Do they consider it an outsider, or do they welcome it into the fold? Beta tester Skamp of Thunder Cats on Borean Tundra (US-A) seems to have drawn the attention of this weird toucan-like bird, but so far it's holding off on attacking him. Good thing, too, because that sword-beak looks like it can do some serious damage. Want to see your own screenshot here? Send it to aroundazeroth@wowinsider.com.

Around Azeroth: Daniel waiting in the lion's den
"So I recently re-subbed to WoW after a yearlong break," writes today's anonymous submitter. "I was devastated to see that every time I run Durumu, half or more of the raid is dead after a maze. I'm starting to believe that I've had my lion's share of wipes in LFR right there." Want to see your own screenshot here? Send it to aroundazeroth@wowinsider.com.

Around Azeroth: Beasts of the southern wild
"A paladin's job is a thankless task," writes submitter Arugadh of The Brotherhood of Iron on Wyrmrest Accord (US-A). "We hafta get punched in the face, heal everyone else, and then protect the rest of ye from the big bad beasties. Well, heck with ye's. I'm gonna go minister to the little wee beasties, who at least be grateful fer the time I spend ministering to them." Sounds like a classic case of healer/tank burnout to me.

Around Azeroth: Where the red fern grows
"You just know it's one of those days when routine farm work ends up with a plainshawk scaring your core hound up a tree," writes submitter Raggy of Runetotem (EU-A). "I didn't even know core hounds could climb trees. Anyway, I obviously needed help getting my two-headed, lava-breathing monster dog down. Let's just say that I'm no longer on speaking terms with the Halfhill Fire Department." Want to see your own screenshot here? Send it to aroundazeroth@wowinsider.com.

Around Azeroth: Ceci n'est pas un mouton
"So while I was flying around Azshara, trying not to get run-over by the cool goblin rocketway and admiring all the tech stuff that a group of Goblin refugees managed to put in place to conquer Azshara in less than a year, while gnomes can't even take back their own city in over 11 years ... ahem. I digress," writes submitter Arugadh of The Brotherhood of Iron on Wyrmrest Accord (US-A), who has yet to accept that gnomes are just the worst. "Anyway,this is good ol' Sudsy Magee, in Bilgewater Harbor. A sensitive soul of a goblin, capturing the eternal essence of 'boar' for his admiring Horde of ladies. Unfortunately, his sensitivity doesn't extend to his fashion sense." Want to see your own screenshot here? Send it to aroundazeroth@wowinsider.com.

Around Azeroth: Feline enthusiasm
"Hi there! How are you? I see you're in Wintergrasp. Wanna play? I'll play with you. Gee, you're tall, but I can jump as high as you. You sure you don't want to play? I'll play. It'll be fun," writes submitter Gimmlette. " Spectacular Death and their horde sister guild, Deathtacular (both on Llane), ran a joint event in Wintergrasp to get the achievement Wintergrasp Ranger. Some SD members hopped on their horde toons and we took turns killing each other at the locations required for the achievement. Lostclaw, from SD, really got into the spirit of things, getting up in my face all the time. Dawwwww ... look at that face. How could anyone lay the smack down on that? Yeah, well, shortly after this, I whacked him with my shield. It's probably indicative of the guild mindset when we had a bunch of people having a great time killing each other."

Around Azeroth, Beta Edition: The truth beneath the rose
Did someone leave their old-school video games together in a box for too long? Because it looks like Final Fantasy's Malboro has mated with Legend of Zelda's Deku Baba to produce ... whatever the heck this is. If that yellow fog beneath its feet inflicts status ailments, I'm getting the heck out of this questing area and never coming back. Too many bad memories ... so much money spent on Remedies ... never enough time to cast Esuna on everyone. (Thanks to beta tester Eddie for the screenshot!) Want to see your own screenshot here?
