Around Azeroth: No gnomes go to heaven
"Have you checked the Dalaran fountain lately?" said the blood elf death knight. "There's actually a hole in the bottom of the pool now. You can't see it, but if you keep swimming downward you'll stumble upon it. And if you go all the way to the bottom of the hole and fight a shark, you'll get an achievement and a rideable murloc mount!" Sadly, the realization that it was April Fool's Day came far too late for Endario and the valiant level 1 gnome (and one dwarf) alts of <La Familia de Stonewall> on Proudmoore. The blood elf simply looked on and laughed, before resuming his 18-hour search for a VoA group that wasn't full on death knights.

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.

April fools?

Sad though it is, I would actually like to see this implemented. I hate having to ride around on a giant chicken, the very least Blizz could do would be to let me customise it. Maybe give if firey wings and a helmet. And a rocket booster.

I was going to cast 'Water Breathing' on them. But it was funnier not to.

A new sport has arisen among the vertically-challenged Alliance - synchronized drowning!

This was the end celebration of a Level 1 Hogger run our guild family (www.thestonewallfamily.com) did last night.
Great job guys on making WowInsider!!!

Actually, we created the characters last night, marched (mostly nekkid) through Kharanos, Ironforge, the Tram, Stormwind, and Goldshire, to seek out that notorious elite boss Hogger and exact our vengeance. Unfortunately, some 80 draenei mage jerk named approximately Kätîè one-shotted him as we approached, so we had to wait for a repop. And some other jerky level 6 human paladin also interfered. But we succeeded in vanquishing that deadly foe. Where do you go when you do that? Disney^H^H^H^H^H^HDalaran! The lot of us frolicked in the fountain, until something terrible happened. It's unclear what the causes were. PTSD? Whisperings from Yog-Saron? Alcohol may have been involved. (Did someone say mojojito?)

Should have known something was up when you were all drowning in the fountain. But in spite of your little corpses, I still got my final coin for the achievement. :)
