Around Azeroth: Nightswimming

While doing a quest in Storm Peaks that involves being transformed into a female Vrykul, Agrogorath of <Imperium> on Khadgar took a little time to go swimming. And ... that's about all I can think of for this picture, although it is quite pretty. Hmm. Well, to pass the time, here are some suprisingly depressing headers from the voluminous Around Azeroth Spam Folder:
- People who respect themselves always buy decent watches.
- Women don't love you for who you are, they love you for what you have.
- God is missing.
- Sometimes our watches live longer than their owners.
- What are we going to do in this market?
- ALHAJI FAROUQ SICK OF CANCER.
Do you have any unusual World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? 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. Please include the word "Azeroth" in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran.

When you transform into the Vrykul for this quest you can mount and keep the form but it doesn't scale with your mount! so if you are riding the gyrocopter it looks like the blades are cutting your head, and you are reeallyy oversized on the epic flying mounts... it looks like an adult on those tetter totters in playgrounds.

I was doing that last night. When druids hit flightform the Vrykul just swims through the air.

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
I'm not sure all these people understand.
It's not like years ago,
The fear of getting caught,
Of recklessness and water.
They cannot see me naked.
These things, they go away,
Replaced by everyday.

Favorite R.E.M. song ever.

Nightswimming, remembering that night
September's coming soon
I'm pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming

It was fun the first few times, but now it's just boring to swim over an area. I'm a Druid so every time I fly over there in Swift Flight Form, it looks like I'm swimming as a big blue person.

What If I have a really cool, high quality picture of Ninja Turtles in Dalaran? Would you add it to the respective "voluminous Around Azeroth Spam Folder"??

OMG I made like 20 SS of that place! wanted to send it here, but I read wow insider primarily at work, soo.. Yah :)
Well I love to fly there, it looks like a "Superwoman" only blue, its great, especially when you straif and do crazy stuff sooo funny.
That’s it I am sending all the other cool screenshots today!
Well at list one of them. Not of that place because I guess that place is covered but I have plenty of others.
P.S. Elizabeth do you select SS of the day from the stuff that sent to you ON that day (or that night) or you look over from a week? How does it work? Or it’s a secret that if you tell me you might have to kill me?

This reminds me that I've always wanted Blizz to incorporate non-mounted, "Superman"-style flying into the game somehow. I realize it'll probably never be a permanent thing, or even something that's only available to one class (like a Druid's forms).
But it would be cool to be able to "fly" (and at high speeds, at least 200%), in maybe a certain zone, or dungeon. The anti-gravity fight in Sunwell was cool, but that was just one room.
Think of how cool it would be to fly--especially with a new animation, not the swimming one--over the landscape or through an "open air" or high-ceiling dungeon.
Maybe even a 10-minute elixir or something? Or a "Use:" item that has a long cooldown?
We can always dream. ;)
