Around Azeroth: Accidents will happen
I'm stepping away from the beta for the weekend to focus on some regular screenshots. Sparcle of <Myth Guard> on Farstriders (US-A) took this picture during a Midsummer Fire Festival mishap. "An errant firework started a grass fire in Goldshire," she wrote. "Luckily, Flame Warden Arugadh was at hand to direct the water bucket brigade and disaster was averted."
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 emailing 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.

You stopped a fire burning down Goldshire?!
I am disappoint.
Aruhgulah Jul 10th 2010 12:02PM
It was threatenin' t' burn down me drinkin' spot, what else could I do?
Maira Jul 10th 2010 10:09AM
Wouldn't someone with the [Hallowed] title be better for the job?
Dimilan Jul 10th 2010 10:11AM
Looks like a wardrobe malfunction.....
Sharvis Jul 10th 2010 10:17AM
I can see the dwarf saying, "AHHHH GODZILLA!" or maybe on a different note, the gnome echoing, "They're all gonna laugh at you." Crazy psycho dwarf...
Sharvis Jul 10th 2010 10:41AM
So uh, anyone notice that it's getting hot in here? No one? I'm starting to sweat here... oh god, ow ow ow, AHHH, IT BURNS!!! HELP ME....
(Editor's Note: Remember folks, next time that group member suddenly leaves due to they, their grandma or their cat catching on fire, there could be a very disturbed dwarf behind it all.)

Every once in a while I am reminded how ugly the alliance-side character models are. Uhg.
I hope the do some decent touching-up of that crap come cataclysm, because that's just...ew.
zdave Jul 10th 2010 10:36AM
right, because female trolls and orcs look so good, amiritgais?
Darky Jul 10th 2010 11:35AM
actually yes, a female orc rogue looks bad ass :D
Oni Stardust Jul 10th 2010 12:17PM
We have female Draenei, your point is invalid.
Alchemistmerlin Jul 10th 2010 12:59PM
This was not a comment on your crazy factionalist BS, it was a comment on how very old and out of date the character models in WoW are.

"This was not a comment on your crazy factionalist BS, it was a comment on how very old and out of date the character models in WoW are."
If that's the case then why comment on how ugly "alliance-side" models are as opposed to saying that "old" or "vanilla wow" models are ugly?
Alchemistmerlin Jul 10th 2010 2:53PM
1) The alliance models suffer from a significant amount of uncanny valley that the horde toons do not.
2) The horde toons being hideous isn't a surprise to me because I mostly play hordeside, so it isn't a reminder.
Oni Stardust Jul 10th 2010 3:18PM
I have no idea what you're saying in point 1, but point 2 is a decent enough reason to warrant an apology from me for being smug in my second comment (my first comment was just a joke). Sorry, it just looked like you were backpedaling and I failed my attempt to resist calling you out on it.
I blame too much time spent on the official forums with all the 13-year-old Horde players that think playing Horde somehow makes them superior and trash talk Alliance CONSTANTLY. I've become a little too quick to jump to Alliance defense. Sorry.

There, see? Blizzard support both homosexual and interracial partnerships.
Hih Jul 10th 2010 11:21AM
It looks to me like the gnome brought her ugly friend along to make herself look better by comparison.
Aruhgulah Jul 10th 2010 11:53AM
Watch it, laddie, or I'll bash yer face in with me mace.
...said "ugly dwarf" tankadin.

I thought you looked quite good, Arugadh. It was refreshing to see you wearing something that wasn't 95% steel.
Too bad about those fireworks. I warned folks that those ground flower kind could be dangerous. At least it gave the natives something to do besides dueling. Crazy Goldshirians.
We just do not have good luck going out to the pubs, do we?

Is that a naked blood elf in the smoke screen?
Kleptov Jul 10th 2010 3:11PM
I think that's just wishful thinking on your part.
