Around Azeroth: Baby, it's cold outside
Beta tester and frequent submitter Landon has sent us yet another great shot of the Storm Peaks area, which has been temporarily closed to beta testers. This particular shot is of the Thunderfall area, where storm giants and some humanoids (dwarves?) are fighting it out through eternity. The big question here is this: what caused a cold snap so severe that it froze the combatants in motion? An ice mage with too much +damage gear? Reverse spontaneous combustion? Until the zone is unfrozen for more beta testing (ha ha, it's a terrible pun), we won't know for sure. All I know is that I suddenly have a strong desire to reread Thud!
This image came to us straight from the Wrath of the Lich King beta -- and we'd love to have your beta screenshots, too! If you have anything our readers might like, beta or not, sharing it 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 strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. And here's a question: how is this one beta shot, one live shot cycle playing for you guys?

Glad I'm not the only one who instantly thought about Thud! when seeing that picture

Storm Giants? Fighting dwarves?? In a frozen land???
Scars of Velious anyone? I'm not sure if it's a tribute or a rip-off, but man this brings back some amazing memories. Thurgadin, Kael Drakkal, Velketor's Labyrinth...great times. Nothing has ever given me the feeling that EverQuest did when I first entered the world of MMOs.

My appreciation of you, Elizabeth, has jumped 15 notches. A jazz standard and Terry Pratchett in one column.

I haven't read "Thud!". It's there in the stack. Last weekend of summer coming? Guess I know what I'll be doing on the deck this weekend.
