We posted about
Blizzard's Warcraft anniversary minisite a while back, and since then, they've been busy, filling it up with even more content. The community interviews and the new Blizzcast haven't yet appeared, but there are many, many pictures on the Battlecry mosaic submissions section. Pages and pages of fans showing their support for the Horde or the Alliance. It's quite a sight to see, actually -- the pictures range from the straightforward to the silly to the very involved (one couple's posed up with their t-shirts and Frostmourne and logo and everything). There's quite a few whole-guild pics too. There's 43 pages total, so it's a lot to look through, but it's definitely worth a browse.
Ancilorn reminds us, also, that
this is a contest -- as more and more pictures from each faction roll in, we'll have access to some mosaic art using these actual pictures, the first piece of which was just revealed today. They've featured some of their favorite pictures
over on the Facebook page as well. This is turning out to be a pretty cool idea, and as I said in the original post, I bet we'll be seeing these pictures in lots of other places in the future.

I thought it was a great idea for Blizzard to connect with their players more. I knew as soon as this came out I had to be in it. After checking the site recently I found my picture in the first piece. ROCK ON BLIZZARD!

As far as I know it that picture went live yesterday. At least that's my Blue Tracker feed said.

I'm definitely going to have to upload a picture this weekend. I think this is a great idea. Also, it's nice to see some Alliance peeps up there. :]

So at first I assumed that you *had* to have that specific print-out of your faction symbol to submit, but I see plenty of people with their own versions of the symbol.
Would something like the Jinx shirts with the crests on them be valid to submit as a photo?

I was kind of wary of the idea on first hearing about it but after checking out the site I think it really turned out pretty good.

Yea so it proves 1 thing. The alliance consists of 7-10 Year olds or Chimos
Also Horde chicks are hotter.
