Blizzard has posted a fun new image on its World of Warcraft Facebook page. If pictures are worth a thousand words, then this one speaks for itself. Enjoy!

    You know when you play too much MMO's when your partners pants have become a rare drop.

    if this is legit.

     

    props to Blizzard for this.

    I would not be surprised if it is legit. They make some awesome models for conventions.

    Blizzard is trying. It is trying to lure me back to the game...

    No, I wont be fooled again Blizzard. 

    If you are a Star Wars fan, why not try the Star Wars The Old Republic?

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

    With Blizzard's habit of bringing things into the game that started out as a joke, i guess we'll eventually get taxi drivers as a class.

    is that Gorehowl? 

    I had fun once, it was terrible.

    I have zero interest in this expansion, but I gotta admit Blizz knows how to market their product. This is incredibly awesome.

    That popped into my head when I saw this. Someone mentioned that a raid-tier got destroyed just to make this. They aren't that far off.

    Definitely photo shopped.  You can tell because the lighting on the axe thing doesn't reflect any of the colors of the digital signs around it.  The reflections in the cab also don't make sense.

     

    Either way, definitely creative advertising.

    played this game once 6 years ago I left and im still surprised that such a horrible excuse for a game is alive im never going back .

    i am the immortal who will find perfect utopia at all cost .

    And this is where the money that is meant for development and game improvements get crapped down the drain.

    Played: UO, LotR, WoW, SWG, DDO, AoC, EVE, Warhammer, TF2, EQ2, SWTOR, TSW, CSS, KF, L4D, AoW, WoT

    Playing: The Secret World until Citadel of Sorcery goes into Alpha testing.

    Tired of: Linear quest games, dailies, and dumbed down games

    Anticipating:Citadel of Sorcery

    Lot of haters on this thread over a simple marketing ploy by a company that knows how to do it. Calm down, MMO snobs.  It's a cool gimmick.  Nothing more.
