Between yesterday’s submission and today’s, it seems like it’s pretty easy to have Trial of the Crusader bug out on you. Gnolie of <Eye Candy> on Executus got to the gunship battle before the massive area lag brought the server to the edge of disaster. All the NPCs on the ship disappeared, and the constant spam of Death and Decay and Consecrate caused the ship to look like it had become the victim of a surprise volcanic eruption. Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We’d love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next! Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word “Azeroth” in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing — use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, Val’kyr on mounts, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran.

World of WarCrafts spotlights art and creativity by WoW players, including fan art, cooking, comics, cosplay, music and fan fiction. Show us how you express yourself; contact our tips line (attention: World of WarCrafts) with your not-for-profit, WoW-inspired creations. Admit it: You thought murlocs were spineless little critters, didn’t you? Take a peek inside our gallery, below, and you’ll see that even this sweet little fellow boasts his share of backbone — literally. World of WarCrafts visited with Bradley Barger (aka Monmanteau of US Stormreaver), one of the winners of this year’s WoW Holiday Dessert Contest, for a taste of the inspiration behind his winning creation. What we discovered beneath this little guy’s skin (a backbone of steel!) was more spine than we ever expected from a murloc. The creation is based around a metal armature, which Bradley covered with cereal-based cake and butter cream, then finished with fondant for a smooth texture. The spines are made from colored sugar, melted and cut to shape. The pond water is fashioned from a high-temperature molten sugar mixture, poured it into a frame of fondant.

If you’re at all like me, and since you’re reading this site you probably are, there comes a point where you play so much WoW that you end up playing too much WoW. It’s that point where you’ve farmed 70 badges in a day and just stop all the sudden and think to yourself, “What the heck did I just do with the year the day?” And it’s at that point where you put the game down and stop playing for a bit. In my case it’s usually a couple of days, or in some more busy periods of my life it’s a couple of weeks (oddly, with my job here I find that I can’t play much during patch days, right around the time I want to jump in and run the new instances and what have you). I’m curious to know how long of a break you all take when you’ve played too much WoW, and when those breaks tend to come about. So answer away, and after a few days I’ll compile all the comments into some graphs, representing at least the portion of WoW.com visitors who responded to today’s breakfast topic. It should be interesting, even if it’s only a segment of the overall community. Have at it! When is it too much WoW?

Show us how you express yourself; contact our tips line (attention: World of WarCrafts) with your not-for-profit, WoW-inspired creations. It may be relatively quiet around here this week, but World of WarCrafts is still managing to keep the holiday spirit rolling. Allow us to pass along several submissions from crafty readers with a Christmas-y bent … First up, the Christmas tree ornaments (above) sent in by Faylinne from US Duskwood. Faylinne created these as a gift for Cyer of US Blade’s Edge, the friend she credits as inspiring her to play World of Warcraft. Sounds like great results from both sides of that particular equation. Join us after the break for a Horde cookie cutter and gingerbread cookies, plus a small gallery of sweets from a baker new to WoW-themed desserts. Next up, a mini-gallery of Horde holiday gingerbread cookies from Herzreh from Ysera. Herzreh fashioned an old cookie cutter into the Horde symbol to add a WoW twist to the usual tree cookies on this year’s holiday cookie tray. Nicely done!

Every Wednesday, Chase Christian of Encrypted Text invites you to enter the world of shadows, as we explore the secrets and mechanics of the Rogue class. In this special edition, we cover the top 10 changes of 2009. We’ve been through a lot in 2009. It seems like every time we get settled on a spec or playstyle, Blizzard flipped it around with the next content patch. With each raid dungeon released, the top DPS build seemed to bounce to a different tree every time. I would say that rogues are probably in the top 3 classes for ‘most change received’ in 2009, especially when talking about changes that redefine the class completely. While death knights will complain that all they saw was the nerf bat this year, rogues have matured as a class and are far more versatile than where we were in January. We exited last year with Mutilate reigning over Combat, daggers standing triumphant at their long-awaited return to a rogue’s hands. Early Naxxramas raids had me convinced that I had better start enjoying the Assassination tree, because a double Webbed Death rogue was a force to be reckoned with. Our PvP viability looked something like it always had: the

The random dungeon finder is not only great for gearing up alts and getting mains the necessary badges to fill out their gear — it’s an amazing tool which forces an increase in the WoW community’s collective knowledge about instances and game mechanics. And while some of these game mechanics will be a discussion for a future time (hint: tomorrow’s Breakfast Topic), today let’s focus on what instances you’ve had to “relearn,” more or less. Take Ahn’kahet: The Old Kingdom. Prior to the random heroic dungeons, I probably ran this place a grand total of five times. My warrior tank got the bracers on his fist run through it, and I did it on a few more alts just to get the Northrend Dungeon Hero achievement. Other than that, when it was the heroic daily I’d just skip it and find something else to do. Nothing annoyed me more than the Insanity that Hearld Volazj casts, and the trash pulls got on my nerves when the DPS couldn’t wait for the mobs to come to the tank, inevitably leading to a wipe. In short, it was my least favorite instance and I was able to just ignore it. From the best I can tell, before these past two

Frallanboy of <Harmony> on Frostwhisper-EU sent in this picture of his new pug, which he worked very hard to obtain. “During this PuGing I have met the biggest variety of people, from healing paladins with Val’anyr, to warlocks with full BoA gear. But the pug was so much worth it!” Unfortunately, Frallanboy seems to have wound up with the hyperactive kind of pug, and there’s no achievement out there that rewards you with free dog training lessons or puppy Valium.

Reader comments — ahh, yes, the juicy goodness following a meaty post. [1.Local] ducks past the swinging doors to see what readers have been chatting about in the back room over the past week. The hot topic at [1.Local]’s press time was an opinion piece from Adam Holisky mulling over the unfortunate high profile of inappropriate posts from disgruntled players on the Blizzard forums. “While it’s obvious that trollish parts of the community value and participating in internet yelling matches, the majority of the community does not care to hear it,” writes Adam. “We bring this issue up and to the forefront on popular WoW media because it’s imperative for the health of the community that this vocal minority does not control or continue to influence the quiet majority.” Urnias: Adam H. is exactly right. Forum posts like the one referenced are why I stopped trying to garner any useful information from that source. I got tired and angry of having to wade through 1) e-peen, 2) flame wars, 3) players who do zero research and 4) those who feel their drop in the bucket to Blizzard’s coffers entitles them to dictate game direction and

Last week, some PvP minded It came from the Bloggies got together for our first Battleground Bonanza. We split into groups according to our level brackets and had some Battleground fun. Mike Schramm lead the 20s group and I lead the 60s group. There were also teens and 50s groups. We had quite a bit of Achievement spam, daily BG quest completions and honor earning. And, as you can see from the pictures in the gallery, the requisite number of deaths. As the night wore on, the queue times became painful. So next time — and I think we had enough fun for there to be a next time — we’ll try for during the day on the weekend. Before we do that, however, we have the Elwynn Extravaganza this Saturday and a Feast of Winter Veil event to be announced soon.

This discussion over on WoW Ladies has me thinking that we probably need to do a post on something I don’t think we’ve ever covered before: screenshotting. Sure, they’re everywhere — almost everybody sees tons of screenshots every single day, and occasionally, you can even win some real-life loot for taking one. But I don’t know that we’ve ever actually covered the mechanics of how to take one. So let’s do that now. First and foremost, taking a screenshot is usually bound to your “Print Screen” key — whenever you’re playing the game, just hit that key on your keyboard, and a screenshot (in JPG format — it used to be saved in TGA, but Blizzard changed that a while ago) will show up in the /Screenshots folder inside the World of Warcraft installation on your hard drive. Of course, on a Mac keyboard, there is no Print Screen button, so I have mine bound to the “Home” button instead — you can rebind it to whatever you want in the options menu. And that’s just the basics — it gets more complicated from there. First thing you’ll probably want to do is pretty the screenshot up
