  • Bee-ware or Bee Prepared!

    Location: Warsong Hold, Borean Tundra – Vengeance Landing, Howling Fjord – Grol’dom Farm, the Barrens This oddity comes in via email from Umjin who simply asks “What’s the deal with the bees?” Included were several pictures of what you see here, drawings of bees on the sandbags of the Horde airships that transport people to…

  • Anchors (and Logic) Away!

    Location: Ratchet, The Barrens Faction: Neutral Now this isn’t the first time I’ve spoken about the wonderful Goblins.  I’ve spoken about their efficient use of amazing machines with the Venture Company in comparison to say Orcs.  But despite what the Goblins have in technical abilities, I often have to wonder about their choices in aesthetics. …

  • We Dug Too Deep, Too Greedily…

    Location: Splintertree Post, Ashenvale Faction: Horde Far to the back of the horribly designed Splintertree Post (Come on, would it be that hard to consolidate the entire place in a sensible fashion?  You got some of it in the walls, some of it outside of the walls, and even more of it on the other…

  • Love the Goblins, Hate the Needles

    Location: Booty Bay, Stranglethorn Vale Faction: Neutral Now, don’t get me wrong. I like Booty Bay.  Yes, I know, I spent hours slaughtering their Bruisers and leaders to get a fancy looking hat, but in the end, I really do enjoy their city.  It’s a one of a kind place.  Look at almost every other…

  • The Azerothian Patient

    Location: Southbreak Shore, Tanaris Faction: Neutral One fine day, I got very bored and decided to see what the little stretch of land at the far south end of Tanaris was.  You know, the one that’s south of pirates, south of Uldum and on the otherside of the mountains with no actual means to enter…

  • Demons Need Love Too

    Location: Felfire Hill, Ashenvale Faction: Neutral If you ever needed a reason to actually read some of those quest items you randomly pick up through the game, this is a good one.  I decided to flip through a copy of “Diabolical Plans” that drop off various demons in Ashenvale and found it to have an…

  • Omigawd! Girl Talk in the Barrens!

    Location: The Gold Road, The Barrens Faction: Neutral (But they might hit you if your alliance) Just a bit south from the Crossroads (So Alliance, take in the sights before going on a muderous rampage), there’s a tent on the east side of the road.  Inside are two female Horde Guards chatting away.  They never…

  • Cenarius Gonna Sue Somebody!

    Location: Stonetalon Peak, Stonetalon Mountains Faction: Neutral (Can only be seen from the sky) I noticed this one on a fly by on the way to Ashenvale, and had to drop some additional coin to come back and confirm it (and snap a photo).  But the Cenarion Circle is apparently extremely protective of the environment. …

  • Orcs are Horrible Engineers

    Location: Warsong Lumber Camp, Ashenvale and Windshear Crag, Stonetalon Mountains Faction: Neutral (Easier if your Horde) While I have little to no doubt in the aptitude of the average Orc to smelt ore, crush stone to powder, or assemble small mechanical squirrels – one need only to venture to the Warsong lumber yards in Eastern…

  • A Thousand Is Exaggerating

    Location: Shimmering Flats, Thousand Needles Faction: Neutral I really think the Shimmering Flats need to be separated from Thousand Needles.  It does not make sense to have an entire zone named after a very visual motif such as dozens (Not thousands, but I’m going to assume that Tauren struggle with counting.  They are very nature…
