When The Last Titan drops...

and we go back to Northrend, I wonder what the new capital will be for the expansion. I doubt they'll go with Dalaran again, so operating on the assumption that we'll be using an existing location, I think that the likely options will be...

Grizzlemaw - now ruled over by Furbolgs that are finally purified

Zul'Drak/Gundrak - Could easily see surviving Drakkari finally banding together to rebuild, and maybe opening up to the other factions to ensure survival/out of desperation. I like to think it would be a coalition of living and undead trolls

Wintergrasp - Finally find some greater use for it

Moa'ki Harbor - According to Exploring Northrend, the largest Tuskarr settlement since losing Kaskala

Kaskala - Finally reclaimed

Pal'ea - According to Exploring Northrend, has been reclaimed by the Tuskarr and is currently expanding

Isle of Conquest

Strand of the Ancients

Azjol-Nerub - Not too sure about this one considering what's going on in tWW, but I feel like it's a fair possibility

Coldarra/the Nexus

Crystalsong Forest - Unlikely, but I could see them rebuilding in the Highborne Ruins, especially if they go with a Dalaran connection and the elven factions. Doubt it though, considering the expansion before this will be so Elf-focused

Didn't consider any Storm Peaks locations, considering that it seems we'll be fighting the Titans who will be based out of Ulduar, or Icecrown locations, considering I doubt that anybody would choose that. Sholazar also has Titan connections and also no locations that seem like they would fit for a capital city.

The Firehose of Honor in Wintergrasp

I mentioned in a previous post about gearing up my hunter, that week of work for welfare epics, using honor gained in Wintergrasp.  That didn’t get him all the possible gear and upgrades, but it came pretty close, boosting him up past 4,400 in gear score for a modestly diligent effort. Waiting for another Wintergrasp Wrath of the Lich King was a long time ago.  We’re coming up on the 15th…

Determined to crush four assignments and turn in the one I fucking somehow forgot to turn in then I will play the world of the warcraft. I will play as a fresh mage, with the sexy sexy money reserves of my GGMILF mage

Return to the world of Azeroth....in Morrowind, for today we're showcasing World of Morrocraft's beta release for the continent of Northrend!

A project two years in the making, World of Morrocraft aims to bring the realms of Azeroth to the game-world of Morrowind, largely using Morrowind assets to provide a new interpretation on the classic locations and environments found in World of Warcraft.

Tel Shadow's ambitious personal project, this beta release includes a mostly exterior complete continent of Northrend, covering the regional zones of the Borean Tundra, Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills, Crystalsong Forest, Icecrown, Storm Peaks, Sholazar Basin, and Lake Wintergrasp.

But this release is still exteriors only, no NPCs or enemies have been included yet, though NPCing and creatures might be included in the next update along with the zones Zul'Drak and Howling Fjord.

As a note, it needs to be emphasized that this is an interpretation of Northrend, not a 1:1 remaking of Northrend from World of Warcraft. Some things are different, like the city of Dalaran isn't floating in this version (due to performance issues), so keep in mind it won't look exactly the same (nor could it while primarily using Morrowind assets).

But either way, this is a really impressive project, with tons of verticality, and while there's not much gameplay just yet, the landscapes are a visual delight that manages to capture some of that nostalgic MMO magic!

Armor Piercing Questions.

Continuation of here "I mean, regrettably, yes. I don't think there any many in our line of work who have managed to avoid combat their whole lives." He raised his drink as if in toast. "And thankfully, Azeroth never seems to run out of enemies in which to test weaponcraft and spells upon, well, I suppose you'd know. What with the.." He gestured to them, as in the entirety of them. "I believe it's called the hunger, right? Even if you wanted a life of peace, you have to go out your way to satiate those needs." He tried to phrase delicately. "As to my armor, I adopted it from my time in Wintergrasp. I found I enjoyed being recognized on sight of my armor and cowl alone, and found no reason to change the cut. Merely upgrade the materials as new better means were made. Thought, the utility belt is forsaken military surplus. I don't think alot of people give their armorsmiths enough credit." He said sagely. "What of you Miss Sweetshriek, any particular preferences in armor and attire?" He said as he finished off his first venom and placed the glass on the counter, signaling for another.

"yall dumb as fuck, the new northrend book says fighting still is going on in wintergrasp. lmao." the Exploring books are dogshit that are like someone just flying over the zones in-game and writing what they see, the Kalimdor one is straight up describing Cata-era storylines that are resolved in questing. if they do one for Kul Tiras it'll claim that the majority of Drustvar is in the hands of the coven still, the books are worthless.

When in Wintergrasp, Why not Visit the Vault of Archavon?

We had done the Headless Horseman for the day and run another battle for Wintergrasp, which we had won, having dodged the Horde pre-made group again, and were looking for something to do.  We had a short group, so we were not going to be able to face any heroics ourselves and we never fill out the group with rando DPS.  We tend to be slow in instances, our runs interrupted by things like the need…

I miss Wintergrasp.

the sombre trumpets heard throughout the wrath of the lich king expansion (most notably Wintergrasp, Dalaran and Ulduar) are unmatched by any other piece of music ive heard in the game
