Do you have any unusual World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? Because we'd love to see it on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. We prefer full screen shots without the UI showing. And please, no more sunsets. No, really. Ok, only if it's a sunrise in new Patch 2.4 lands. We'll take those anytime.

Great shot... it actually brings back a haunting WoW-related memory for me...
So, back in mid-December, on the last day of the raiding week, we're working on Kael, and on our second last attempt of the evening we finally get him to P5. Everything is going well, but at about 15% with a phoenix up, the raid leader calls for a burn on Kael. Unfortunately, his HP did not decrease as fast the RL expected, and due to an overabundance of phoenixs when we landed from a gravity lapse, we wiped (wiping on P5 - I know, shameful, but cut us some slack for our first go ^^).
So, on our last attempt of the evening, everything is going BETTER than the previous attempt... on that go we were entering P5 with about 20 people up. This time we had all 25, and no phoenixs alive when he started his little phase-shift. So he grows huge, floats up, lands... and then nothing. Minutes go by, and nothing. We wait for about half an hour (20 mins after the raid should've ended), and nothing. So in the end we all hearthed out of there to end the encounter. Very disheartening; there is no doubt in our minds that he would've died if not for bugging out.
But to give the story a happy ending, 2 days later (as we are on an Oceanic server our maintenance happens on a Tuesday night, so we can't schedule raids then) we went back to TK, burnt through the first few bosses, and ended up getting KT within our first few attempts. It was a great relief. =)
