Nope, those are NPC goblin harvesters. Those buzz-saws of theirs are quite nasty if you're up against one.

On that note, MORE PICS!

Who says night elves are wimps? Certainly not this big bastard outside of Darnassus (night elf capital)

Moonrise over Darkshore:

Random shot in Darnassus:

Outside the Temple of the Moon:

Hippogryph ride over the Darkmoon lighthouse:

Still more coming.

I like the moon over Darkshore.

These are some kick ass graphics for an internet RPG.

Dude, I feel like a heroin addict having a bag of china white waved around in front of my nose. The old Thirdfain, who spent 3 years as a hardcore Everquest addict, is screaming for me to buy a copy of this game and spend the rest of my days frolicking through these beautiful environments. Damn you!

It's a nice place, and leveling isn't bad for the game as is. One month of semi regular play( about an hour each evening...give or take depending on if I'm just money building or actuaql questing) and I've gotten to 45 with my rogue.

That and the enviroments are nice for the most part. Though facing off three head death lizards are not fun.

I still have about another 400 screenshots (literally.) I'll try to get in some of the more interesteing enviroments, ie the area around Ironforge (steam tanks, yum!) and some rather big raid pics.

Right now I'm working on a night elf hunter, after 2 aborted characters, one an undead mage and the other an orc warrior. Mage just has an insanely hard time leveling around 20ish, and I got bored with him. Warrior...heh. 3 out of 4 attacks miss, no matter how high you pump your stats. Useless class IMO. Something needs to be done to fix it. But the hunter is nice, fantastic ranged damaged, plus you get a pet to hold your target's attention while you pummel it with arrows or bullets.

Really? I've got a trusty retailer with a release date to 11th February. I guess the date will depend on the countries then...
