Around Azeroth: Love in the time of ninjas

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@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, Val'kyr on mounts, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran. Older screenshots can be found here.

i hadnt noticed that. Perfect placement.
Almost as if he were saying "Kiss the Girl" right before the ninja jumped and ruined the moment.

Now, is the title a reference to "Love in the Time of Science" or to "Love in the Time of Cholera"?

Has to be the second since the first is a reference to the second as well. I like that book...

A sceenshot featuring nothing but blood elves from Wyrmrest Accord? I'm shocked. SHOCKED. ... Do people play other races there? Or on Moon Guard for that matter?

I thought he was overreacting, so I checked out wowcensus: http://www.warcraftrealms.com/census.php?serverid=841&factionid=2&minlevel=10&maxlevel=80&servertypeid=-1
48% of all horde on that server are Belfs. My. God.

Actually, thanks to Old Horde-centric players getting to Wyrmrest first, most RP is completely Kalimdor based. But, like all servers, we still have elves. Thankfully, most of the elf RP is -good- RP (If you stay the -hell- away from certain parts of SMC).
Jagged Fang Clan, for one thing, is a pretty kickass Orc-only guild. If you're a tauren, there's the Gromkosh Loktra, or the Earthspear Tribe, based around Mulgore, Durotar, Barrens, and Thousand Needles and Stonetalon (shameless plug for mah guildies in ES!).

In my 6 months of off-and-on playing on Moon Guard, I've never seen any non-blood elves RPing (I've seen non b-elf RSP tags, but I've never heard any of them actually say anything), and I've never seen any RP about anything other than relationship drama (Does X love me? I'm so Y about X *cry*. I can't love X because Y. etc.)
I know it's not /all/ like that (I RP a couple Taurens and an Orc for example), but that's been my general experience. Granted, I've never been to a scheduled RP event either.

@Tyler : Actually the screenshot was taken on Sentinels. The male character has since been moved to WA.
I never understood the antibelf people. I tend to play alliance, but what exactly is WRONG with playing a belf? If the RP is bad in belfland, the player behind said belf could play anything. It's not our faults people play as half elf half tubesteaks :(

Actually, hon, that screen shot wasn't even taken on Wyrmrest Accord. The guy who took it is in on Wyrmrest Accord, but that Screen shot is his from another server. ;)

Just wanted to come in and say how awesome the Gabriel Garcia Marquez reference is. Even more awesome is that several readers beat me to the reference within the first ten comments. Wow.com editors and readership, you are some educated mofos! I love this place...

"educated mofos"

Eleph Jan 21st 2010 1:50PM
Ha! I should've said something about how I knew someone would have that reaction. I'll be more specific next time. :P

A ninja, in a pirate town?
Are we about to see "Blind 2: Ninja's always win!" ?

Yay for the Keepers! Been with the guild for nearly a year now. ^.^; *hugs to Wra.*
