Continuing on with the ceiling tour — did you know the Violet Citadel has this crazy ornate wallpaper on the ceiling? For some reason, whoever built the upper balconies decided to wallpaper the ceiling below. It’s been there since Wrath (you can see it in both versions of Dalaran), but I don’t think I’ve ever noticed it until now. I need to make it a point to look up more often!

In this week's leveling stream, the crew heads to Mythic Vault of the Wardens and Violet Hold in preparation for an eventual Return to Karazhan.

Last week we talked about time investment in RP – exactly how much time is required for “effective” RP.

I think my favorite part about the Xavius encounter in Emerald Nightmare is the distinct lack of…anything. That blank, gray nothing is somehow more terrifying than any hyper-rendered environment we’ve been plunked into over the years. I particularly like how the ceiling is just a vague criss-cross of something that might be branches, or vines, or any number of wholly unpleasant things. It’s just blank enough for your brain to self-insert all kinds of horrible things that might be lurking just out of view.

Both the Sundering and the Shattering were large-scale natural disasters for the shell that surrounds Azeroth’s world-soul.

I’m not sure who they’ve got over at Blizzard working on plant models — but whoever they are, they managed to one-up the gorgeousness of Draenor’s plant life from last expansion. I didn’t think that was possible. We’ve come a very, very long way from the trees of vanilla — anyone remember those? They were just a series of flat panes that looked really, really fake when you got up close. I don’t know where we’re going next expansion, but I’m hoping wherever it is, it’s got a lot of plants.
