Around Azeroth: Boom, like that

by Elizabeth Wachowski Jan 25th 2011 at 10:00AM

Extra-furry worgen druid Cazic of Wyrmrest Accord (US-A) writes, "I was fresh out of a battleground when my friend started talking about a fireworks show going on in the Cathedral District. 'Fireworks?' I asked myself. 'But it's not the Fourth of July.' So I flew as fast as my little gryphon could go when BAM, fireworks started flying. Oohs and ahhs could be seen, the chat box flooding with emote after emote. I figure that if Wyrmrest Accord is awesome enough to have events like this on a regular basis, they should get a little love, don't you?"

I saw this and instantly thought of the ending of mario kart.

Also WRA is an amazing server, If all my friends weren't on a different server and i wasnt in a different time zone I would totally reroll on there (and not just have an alt there).

It's not a spontaneous firework display - it is currently Chinese New Year, isn't it?

WrA has a couple people who organize fireworks shows privately. Saw one on my first night of re-rolling there and made a point to thank the organizer (donated some gold to his fireworks fund too).

And they do it all year long, so while not "spontaneous" it doesn't really have anything to do with Lunar Festival/Chinese New Year

Really? That's very cool! Also, forgot to say that that is a lovely screenshot - very Disney.

Indeed. A guild called "Order of Creation" does these shows often.

Do you laugh or sigh at the thought that fireworks only happen on the Fourth of July.

Killik Jan 25th 2011 10:54AM

Definitely - fireworks only happen on the 5th November!

I didn't notice it was supposed to be fireworks. I instantly thought of the onyxia wipe video's 'moar dots. moar dots.'

I attended the last two nights these fireworks have been in the sky. I was immensely impressed the first time, and the second time was still amazing.

Horde-side, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't do anything like this. Both Alliance and Horde are active with their RP, sure, but when it comes to events like THIS... methinks we (Alliance) win the day -- or night, all depending on one's perspective.

I can't help but wonder if the guild who does all this is recruiting...
