The Twisted Nether folks have been a huge part of the
WoW community for a while now -- I finally got to meet both Fimlys and Nibuca in person at the last BlizzCon, and of course
we've mentioned them and their work here on the site before. They've recently announced another big project, in coordination with Stompalina over at
Rawrcast and our own Eddie "Brigwyn" Carrington, author of the
Scattered Shots column and curator of
The Hunting Lodge, and it sounds exciting.
Azeroth United is an "Internet media community" centered around
World of Warcraft, so it'll be a hub for sharing news and support around not just bloggers, but all
WoW-related fansites and online resources.
It sounds like their first project will be
a large-scale charity drive, much like
the Children's Week auction that Brigwyn put together earlier this year. More news on that, we're told, is coming soon, and we'll keep our ears open to see what they're up to. We've seen
the power of the Warcraft community before, both in making a difference with donations and and uniting under a common flag, so a project like this is sure to be fun to watch. Stay tuned for more when we hear it.
