Around Azeroth: The eyes have it
After four years of WoW, it's rare that someone discovers a hidden secret in Azeroth. But Adda of Tarren Mill-EU seems to have done just that. While traveling through Duskwood, Adda spied a pair of blinking, glowing eyes in the bushes. On further examination, Adda discovered that the eyes didn't belong to any of the local fauna, as she previously thought. They were just ... disembodied eyes. I checked this out on my troll shammy, and sure enough, there are eyes in the bushes. It seems that a couple of other people have spotted them, as evidenced in this entertaining video. The exact spot is (26.93, 38.60), just northeast of the Raven Hill Cemetery. Go check them out!
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.

I was under the impression that those were everywhere in Duskwood. They're everywhere in the Undead starting area, too.

GJ at finding something thats been around in plenty of areas since the beginning of WoW
alexx Mar 29th 2009 5:25AM
yup those are pretty much all over the place ^^
Xavs Mar 28th 2009 10:07AM
They are all over Duskwood.
And Tirisfal Glades.
And that place North of Gilneas (can't remember the name).
And I believe the Plaguelands too.
Those things are really all over the place.

As mrpoplike2 said, these are not "a hidden secret in Azeroth" at all. Maybe if you play horde you would have never known about them, but they are all over the place; not just at 26.93, 38.60.
atomicstrawberry Mar 28th 2009 10:48AM
Even Horde players should have seen them. I remember noticing them in the spider area in Stonetalon Mountains ages ago, for example.
Kylenne Mar 28th 2009 11:34AM
Tirisfal has them too. As do the Plaguelands.
T Mar 28th 2009 10:08AM
You're just now noticing the eyes in Duskwood? Or is it that slow of a news day? The reason no one has said anything about it is because it's common knowledge.
To save you the hassle of tomorrow's Around Azeroth:
Yes, we know that there are trees in Ashenvale.

lmao :')

If you didn't see this before you gotta stop playing your Nelf Female.

@T
I literally laughed out loud at work when i read this.

I just noticed them myself the other day; not EVERYONE knows about them. :P But it would be possible to go a long time without seeing them, because they blink. So, theoretically, they just might not flash 'on' when you have your view pointed at them.
Rabbit Mar 28th 2009 10:47AM
Not usually one to pile on, but oh man...like Edanas, I laughed out loud.
Huma Mar 28th 2009 10:58AM
This isn't a secret dude, and its not the only pair of eyes. You can find them in almost every bush is Duskwood and Trsifal Glades, anywhere creepy and spooky for that matter.
In other words, OLD.

I was glanced at the picture and was hoping for something interesting, like using a Cursed Offspring of Har'koa alongside the regular, old glowing eyes in the darker bushes around Azeroth.
Shame, to be honest. Around Azeroth used to have good submissions.
Wulfkin Mar 28th 2009 11:18AM
Im Horde and the first place I noticed them *was* Duskwood. Thought it was a cool feature of the zone until i noticed them cropping up elsewhere.
Its a conspiracy!
flawless Mar 28th 2009 11:21AM
It's a conspiracy alright - someones replacing the decent submissions to AA.
Keyra Mar 28th 2009 11:23AM
It would appear that there are a lot of people online today who have a turd floating in their Cheerios.
Good grief, people! Lighten up! Okay, so YOU'VE seen it a million times - does that mean EVERYONE IN THE GAME has? Um...no.
I THINK I may have seen it...once...but does it matter whether I get the chance to see it again as a nice screenshot that someone took the time to frame nicely and send it in for everyone's enjoyment?
I liked looking at the picture. Other people like looking at it. Therefore, it was worth it that it was posted. And maybe, just maybe, there are others who aren't being so critical of every little thing posted on WoW Insider these past few days who haven't yet seen this in-game and now know where they can find it. One person already commented as much.
Ergo, the bi**h-about-everything-on-WI club has failed. Again. Big surprise.
