Around Azeroth Beta Edition: Therewolves
I'm not sure whether it's just the vagaries of beta, the (now-fixed) disabling of new worgen character creation or if the Horde is just more popular, but we've received about ten goblin screenshots for every worgen one from Cataclysm. But Kittens of <The Den> on Earthen Ring (EU-A) managed to snag a good action shot of a wolf-person in combat with a dead-person. If only there were some sort of annoying, inescapable teenage cultural phenomenon, or possibly an excellent premium cable show, that featured a similar conflict!

The Undead doesn't sparkle.
And doesn't suck.
Well, doesn't suck for merely existing, let me put it that way.
And it looks like the Worgen is tossing a fireball, pretty sure the wolves of, uh, that thing can't do that.

Young pup. It is a reference to "Young Frankenstein." A classic Mel Brooks movie. "Walk this way..." (hunches over)

@Noyou I was referring to "annoying, inescapable teenage cultural phenomenon" :)

"Why are you saying that?"

Haven't been on this site in weeks. Young Frankenstein did the trick.

I enjoyed the Young Frankenstein reference in the title myself.

Well, i think more people play goblins atm because all of the customization features of the worgen are disabled.. Im in the beta, and i know i don't want to spend too much time on a new worgen toon only to have to restart when they finally get the new facial features and such up and running. All of the worgen looking exactly the same really diminishes the experience of the worgen :/

Especially since after last patch, all worgen ears are missing and we walk around with holes in our heads, and they implemented some sort of disgusting sniffing/snorting idle sound that plays EVERY time you move your worgen D:
I was excited about taking my worgen to Badlands after it had opened up this week, but had to quit playing after ten minutes because the constant worgen snort was just too annoying (and I really dislike playing with all sounds off).
That said, I loved the worgen starting zone more than the goblin one :)

That truly sucks. If that's the case then I will be a sad puppy. I have been putting off adding a druid to my collection since they announced Worgen would be the new race with druids. I also need to play with sounds on. The sniffing would maybe even be more annoying than the constant Tauren scratching. Could always make a day-glow Troll druid :) Decisions...

Hehe :)
Well I'm pretty sure the sound as it is now must be bugged.. it's literally after every move you make and quite loud, I can't imagine that is how they designed it. No worries, we beta testers will complain enough so it doesn't make it live ;)

I don't know whether to say "Down boy", or say something about dogbones.

I agree. Then we could create a series of movies about it, perhaps starring Kate Beckinsale.
I could also see this becoming a popular setting for roleplaying games. It would be a World containing a fair amount of Darkness.

They're Crinos Gauro come on get it right. See they're on two legs not just giant dire wolves like int that movie that shall not be named.

It's Garou, get it right.

True Blood is an excellent show. It's really too bad that the Tweelight movies are big right now. Whenever I try to get someone to watch this legitimately good show I get "Eww is that like Twilight?"
Killik Aug 15th 2010 12:17PM
Ohhh. True Blood. I thought they mean the Vampire Diaries!
