Around Azeroth: The blackout
When Lurial of <The Dottagers> on Turalyon-EU ran out of her pre-paid game time, she was booted off the game during the middle of an Eye of Eternity run. After a frantic renewal of her subscription, she logged back in to find this scene in Dalaran. Apparently Lurial wasn't the only person not to pay a subscription -- it seems that the good leaders of the Kirin Tor have forgotten to pay the electric bill again, with dire consequences for the city's residents. I guess the streetlights are battery-powered. Either that or Lurial caught them in the process of moving the city again. (Actually, it's just a graphics bug, but it's quite a nice one.)
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, double-mounts, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran.Filed under: Screenshots, Around Azeroth, Galleries

That happened to me once when I got DC'd from inside an instance. It's a bug where the game thinks you are in the instance still AND your hearth location at the same time. When logging in the game showed the Naxx loading screen, said I was in Naxx but all I saw was Dalaran that looked very similar to the above location. Unable to move or cast or anything, but a summon back to the instance cleared it up.

I've got several times the lost of floar, when I AltTAB out of WoW in Windows 7 with an HD4830, some times (more than I like actually) the floar textures are missing, is like I was flying all time.
