The World of Warcraft Two-Sided World Map 24″ X 32″

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

More than just a map, this giant lay of the land is a work of art. At 24″ x 32″, this two-sided map makes a great wall hanging in any room. On one face, the map shows all flight paths, including the Horde, Alliance, Neutral and Druid-only travel points. On the flip side is an unfettered map of Azeroth displaying a beautifully rendered view of the topography of the islands. In the World of Warcraft, knowing where you are and where you’re going is a matter of life and death.

Customer Review: HMMMMM?
It is a map Of the OG WOW….But it does look too much like a com. map and not an awesome laminated double sided map of Azeroth!Look at the curser for gods sake!!

World of WarCrafts: Sweet but not spineless

Filed under: Fan stuff, Features, Interviews, World of WarCrafts

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.

Continue past the break for an interview with Bradley on how he cooked up this sweet success.

World of Warcraft Series 1 Thargas Anvilmar Dwarf Warrior Action Figure

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

America

Customer Review: Great decoration for fans of WoW
The great detail on this character is a great addition to my desk. The character is slightly posable, but because of the armor and the way he holds his mace, there’s not much freedom of movement. Be careful removing the smaller mace handle pieces from the package. I managed to break mine right out of the package, but some Krazy Glue fixed it right up.

Customer Review: great piece
I am 32 years old and just received the Series 1 for Christmas from my In-Laws. I must say that this is definitely one of the more durable pieces of the set and the Weapon he holds stays firmly in place unlike the Warlock from the series.

The Colosseum: Bearzerk, rogue of Mannoroth

Filed under: PvP, Interviews, Wrath of the Lich King, The Colosseum, Achievements

The Colosseum takes us inside the world of the Gladiator (Relentless, Furious, Deadly, Brutal, Vengeful, Merciless, and otherwise), to interview some of the top Arena fighters on the battlegroups. Our goal is to bring a better understanding of the strategy, makeup, and work that goes into dueling it out for fame, fortune, and Frostwyrms. We’re especially focused on the people who play these games, to further shed light on the world of the PvP player. If you’d like to be interviewed for The Colosseum, please feel free to contact us — be sure to include your armory as a link!

Gladiator Bearzerk of US-Mannoroth won’t be wearing his gladiator title much longer — he’ll be upgrading to Relentless Gladiator! Our rogue interviewee today is team captain of a rogue-mage-priest composition named A B C that was able to go on a victory streak and get the coveted title on the last day of the season.

Read on after the break to see what Bearzerk had to say!

Blizzard developers to speak at GDC 2010

Filed under: Blizzard, Interviews

Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco, CA. WoWs former Lead Producer Jeff Kaplan, a.k.a. Tigole, presented the keynote speech at last year’s GDC, and this year two top developers will be on tap to give horribly esoteric panels.

Brian Schwab, Blizzard’s Senior AI/Gameplay Engineer, will be presenting a lecture on AI architecture …

“AI programmers rarely use a pure architecture such as a State Machine, Planner, or Behavior Tree in isolation. Rather, several symbiotic architectures are mashed together, resulting in an overall architecture that is unique and powerful in its own way. This lecture is designed as a series of three mini-lectures where you will hear about several mashed up AI architectures along with intriguing lessons and insights.”

… and Erin Catto, Blizzard’s Principle Software Engineer, will be presenting a workshop on physics engines.

“This one-day tutorial continues the 10-year tradition of the Math for Programmers and Physics for Programmers tutorials by bringing together some of the best presenters in gaming physics. Over the course of a day they will get programmers up to speed in the latest techniques and deepen their knowledge in the topic of physical simulation.”

More information, including panel times and availability, can be seen on BlizzPlanet’s writeup of the announcement. This is basically total nerd talk — it’s very unlikely that we’ll have any new WoW-related info from these panels, unlike Kaplan’s keynote, but anything is possible. We’ll keep you posted.

A chat with Check Six, WoW Arena team

Filed under: Odds and ends, Interviews, Arena, Rumors

The official Microsoft Sync blog (apparently the blog isn’t official — they fooled me) has posted a video interview (which you can see above) with Check Six, one of the high level World of Warcraft Arena teams showing up in tournaments lately. The video is somewhat tame, but that actually works in its favor — this high-level Arena play can be complicated and hard to follow, and so simplifying it a little bit actually makes it more palatable. You high level Arena players won’t get to hear their opinions on the latest builds or balance tweaks, unfortunately (for that, you can check out our Coliseum column), but the rest of us can at least put some faces to one of these team names floating around, and hear a little bit more about how these guys run these tournaments.

They’ve been playing together for about two or three months, and they practice quite a bit: together, they do about ten or twelve hours a week, but I’d assume they play outside of the team as well. They say that WoW has a pretty “easy skill cap to reach,” but after that, it’s a matter of getting the right team members together, because they say teamwork is more important in Arenas than even a game like Counter-Strike (”CS”). And they kind of surprised me with how young they are — it’s a big deal to go running around the world and playing in tournaments when you’re probably dealing with school and an early career at the same time. It’s not the most well produced Arena interview you’ll ever see, but I liked the frank look at the guys and what they’re like away from their computers.
