Around Azeroth: This ain't a starting zone, this is genocide

Viradu of Ragnaros was simply trying to start a hunter alt when he stumbled across evidence of a horrifying crime. Five different orcs, each of a different class, were lying dead on the ground of Durotar. The corpses had been arranged in identical positions and dumped in a straight line. The Pween Scene Investigators were called, and after intensive testing on the bodies, they determined that the orcs had been dead for two to four hours and tasted delicious with hot sauce. Authorities have not identified a suspect, but believe that the murderer may suffer from a serious mental condition known as "altaholism."
Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@gmail.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, gold seller ads, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran.

For a brief period of time, I played Everquest (until I got tired of swimming for an hour to level my "swimming skill"). This reminds me of those hilarious moments when someone would purposely die in the same place 20 or 30 times, amassing a huge pile of identical corpses.

How are the gold sellers killing them selves in side a town?

@ Warren:
Goldspammers like to use teleport hacks. They port high up in the air, then fall to their doom and die.

Now that is a cool screenshots. But I'm intrigued how it happened. Jumping of a cliff? Alliance? Gold spammers hacking again?

Attacking a boar and letting it kill you, perhaps.
If the picture was taken next to where new characters start, it's as simple as pulling some sort of nearby mob and letting it kill you where you want the body to be placed.

"Looks like these guys were" (puts on mimiron's flight goggles) . . . " feeling a little green."

It looks like this starting zone comes *sunglasses* with an ending.

I am glad someone got the joke. I was afraid I was starting to look stupid. On my first post no less.

Same thing happened about a month on Magtheridon-US alliance side.

Probably the goldsellers testing out something. don't think anyone could've missed the adverts outside the AH's... Gits

Do your part!
The only good orc is a dead orc!
Become a citizen, serve in the Alliance Vanguard!

Downrated for paraphrasing Starship Troopers? What's this world coming to?
Warren Jul 8th 2009 1:10PM
Starship troopers FTW!

(In homage to the article title)
"As they pull you out of the healer's tent.
You ask for the latest BG
With your silicone tusks and your shoes made of husks
Dressed like a priest you was
Chris Metzen's freak you was
Crawling down the desert on your hands and knee
Im sure you're not protected, for its plain to see
The ally dogs are gankers and they hide behind trees
Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal ..."

(will they come? )
Can't keep the zone serene
(will they come? )
Oh 80, come unto me
(will they come? )
Well, they've come, been and gone.
Come out of the valley, baby
You'll catch your death in the fog
Young girl, they call them the ally dogs
Young girl, they call them the ally dogs

Well done! All hail the Thin White Orc!

Prolly just rolled the toons, had them killed by a boar one at a time, took a screenshot and photoshopped it. Pretty easy with that sand pattern as a background!
Aggrajag Jul 8th 2009 10:46AM
Why does it have to be fake?
Jacob Thompson Jul 14th 2009 7:29AM
Your mum's photoshopped!
