the Night elf Fan art is Just... Awesome...Really !! kinda wished the image size is Larger tho =\

[Seriousdoom]

wow, love the 2nd garrosh picture.

thats how hes supposed to look instead of the DERP he is now.

[Littleraven]

somebody needs to put that mural in print....im not even joking right now.....i want that on my wall so bad haha

[Adalwolf]

i like the level 20 guild with 4 members, i think the proper word for that would be Descending.

It's not level 20, it's level 1 with 20 archievement points. Following your logic, the guild with 308 members would be level 140 and the one below would be level 200.

[Myzou]

No doubt. I was only joking because they made it seem as though they just wanted to recruit straight from the playerbase.

In what way? Quality Assurance has no impact on designing. They simply say what the encounter is like, and the developers decide what to do.

[blackangel209]

I love how one of the guilds has 0 members.

[furydeath]

Work for blizz?

OOOOO

This is a temporary, entry-level position that is paid by the hour.

oohh

[Thallidomaniac]

"Hardcore PvP Tol Barad everyday breh"
haha so bogan Blizzard.

The art looks fantastic - love the troll head!

Exactly. I think being denied access to TB for days, weeks, or even months at a time because you have unlucky RNG doesn't make for "Hardcore".

[Yossarian]

is that last troll Britney Spears in disguise?

You can buy a print from the artist's deviant art page.

I just covered the trilogy less then a month ago so a lot is fresh in my mind, the third tier is a bit confusing as I don't understand why both alli and villan would be displayed like that. Azshara is a given, and the far left is too druidic to be anyone besides Malfurion, so I'm going with what you said. I was a little surprised Deathwing / Demonsoul was not included too.

The beginning and end gets a little sidetracked doesn't it though? I mean if the focus is of the War trilogy then the four elemental lords are out of place? As well at the end with - I would have never guessed - Dath'remar, that's out of place too right? Oh what do I care, its freaking awesome all the same.

If the Old God is intended to be a specific one, it's probably N'zoth. And that might be Azshara instead of Vashj, given Azshara's importance to naga.

[Ultimanium]

The guild-finder looks pretty good, but I wish the Availability options were a little more fleshed out; even as something along the lines of checkboxes for days of the week and morning/afternoon/evening/night timeslots would suffice.

[Callypso]

First thing I thought when I saw the guild finder option:

"What about all those guilds that have raid days both during weekdays and weekends?!?"

Seriously, was it that much effort to make checkboxes for each day?

[Yougra]

Why would you make a picture like that second last fan art, and not include every Alliance race? Human, Dwarf, Night Elf, Worgen... eh, Draenei and Gnomes are buttholes.

[SDP]

A new Guild Finder button will now appear on your Micro Menu if you're either a guild leader or currently unguilded.

Is this a joke? Something like old chat channel for recruiting where only unguilded characters were allowed to enter.
I can't ask an officer to change something in the form while I'm not online. I still have to post in chat channels cause of the fact that 90% of our recruits for the last months were people from "invite-as-much-as-possible" guilds. And I don't expect this situation to change soon.
I was waiting Guild Finder. But after this news I can't find much use for it. Nothing will change really

[cyan421]

The ascended, lol.

[Arrowstormen]

If anyone can name every character in the mural, let me know. Is the Red Mage on the right Rhonin?

First Part: (from left to right): Therazane the Stonemother, Ragnaros the Firelord, Neptulon the Tidehunter and Al'Akir the Windlord. it displays the ancient times were the Old Gods ruled the world.

Second Part: to the sides stands what is supposed to be titans, that recreates Azeroth after they have imprisoned the Old Gods. they also create the big waterpool in the middle, also known as The Well of Eternity.

Third Part: Queen Azshara in her Night Elf form in the middle, with her nightelf servants around her, likely her handmaidens to the right, and Highborne to the left. in the front of her lies her city, the night elves capital in War of the Ancients, named Zin-Azshari. she probaly also looks at the Well of Eternity over it.

Fourth Part: the last and final battle in War of the Ancients. the orc is Brox with his magical ax, the water beneath them are the Well of Eternity, the hand is Sargeras hand that tries to get out of a portal, and the mage is likely Rhonin, but could be Krasus. however, Krasus was riding on Alextrasa, and since the dragon dont look much more special than an ordinary dragon, its unlikely.

Fifth Part: the naga-looking thing is Azshara, under the waters of the Well of Eternity. to the right is Illidan putting water from the Well of Eternity down in a lake atop of Mount Hyjal, intending to make its as a new well, but gets stopped before it can be fully finished. the left is the Highborne, now the high elves, sailed to Eastern Kingdoms, and have settled down in "Quel-Thalas". the High Elf is holding another vial from the Well of Eternity, also from Illidan. he made 7 of those.
in the middle stands the dragons, who make Nordrassil, the world tree, atop of the new Well of Eternity to hold back its energies. Norzdormu, Alextrasa and Ysera, while making the tree, also gives the night elves some blessings through it. the two silohoutes(spelling?) that stands at the tree is Malfurion Stormrage and Tyrande Whisperwind.

[penguinsane]

Damn - and there's the downside to not being in a super high-end raiding guild. I want to work for Blizzard! :C
