Around Azeroth: You got bones in your closet
Blood elf hunter Akussa of Draka (US-H) writes, "I was exploring the nooks and crannies of Vashj'ir several nights ago. As I was swimming around the Abandoned Reef in the Abyssal Depths, idly looking for Ghostcrawler, curiosity grabbed me and I started playing with my Eagle Eye spell to see what was over the side of Vashj'ir as it vanishes into the dark, foreboding depths. Normally attempting to swim down there would kill you, but I was able to chain hop my Eagle Eye around, and while doing so I happened upon this small graveyard of skeletons and their bizarre little glowing pearl. I spent a good while looking around, fascinated by what it could possibly be and why a dev put it way out in the middle of nowhere."

It's the little things like that, that makes wow the huge and interactive world that it is :)

Awesome things like this are what makes WoW a great game

Nice hidden treasures in WoW
Maybe a tribute to the Kraayt Dragons in SWG with the pearl next to it also?

I want that pearl! Gimmie!!

Didn't I read somewhere that Vashj'ir was originally going to be much bigger but they decided to scale it back? I wonder if these are relics from those scrapped plans.
I saw those, too, while looking for ghostcrawler. I completely forgot about my Eagle Eye. Tried to see how far I could swim to them. Barely made it back alive. ;)

had it been orange, i'd say he just found a dragonball :D

It's probably not, but I'm going to take it as a Sphere reference just because I liked the book.

A lot of Vashj'ir creeps me out and I dislike swimming down to the very bottom, but I might just suck it up long enough to use Far Sight and have a look myself :) Cool picture.

You've got ghosts in your town. Ain't no doubt, yeah, they're gonna come out. They're waitin' for the sun to go down.

I know drowning damage is pretty intense but I wonder if you had like 2-3 druids or priests if you could hot each other enough to make it down to the bones or other such underwater areas easier... just a thought :)

Or have a warlock cast Unending Breath on you! Even nicer if they have the glyph :)

I've found this before. A glowing, swirling orb at the bottom of a body of water...sounds familiar, doesn't it? It'll definitely come in handy when Deathwing uses the Black Materia to summon Meteor on Stormwind.

That is an awesome shot. *adds to growing computer wallpaper folder*
Akussa Jun 16th 2011 10:51PM
Hey hey! You used my screenshot. That's awesome! I saw someone mention that they'd like to use it for a wallpaper. The original is 1920x1200 in size so if you're interested I'll be happy to share it through photobucket or something.

How do you chain hop Eagle Eye around?
I can do it just fine on a Shaman with Far Sight, but Eagle Eye doesn't seem to work that way, it cancels out. Is there a special macro?
