The community still slumbers as the buildup to the expansion and the Sunwell Plateau continues to mount. This week though Blizzard decided to give a small treat in the form of a World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King bestiary. We’ve got two new monsters to look at and a slew more coming in the upcoming months.
The first one is the Nerubian Vizier. I love the word vizier because no matter the story whenever you hear “vizier” you know that person is evil and most than likely has a plan to conquer the entire world. I’m pretty sure every book or video game should automatically spoiler vizier just to not give away the fact the person is evil. The Nerubian Vizier isn’t exactly good to begin with though. It has apparently already turned evil, if you can say that.
It appears the Nerubians are back and they’re fighting the Scourge. These Viziers are half-humanoid and half-spider meaning that they’re really cool looking and the concept art backs this up. I’m guessing these two legged six armed creepy walky will be inside of the Nerubian themed instances and will be casting spells your way soon.
The other monster we’re introduced to is the Plague Eruptor. Looks like an undead Draenei crossed with an abomination but who am I to judge. From the description it appears that the monster’s goal is to walk around spreading the plague from its rotting skin. Lovely!
You can read about these over at Wrath of the Lich King Bestiary.
Last Tuesday it was announced by Blizzard that WoW has reached over 10 million subscribers worldwide. That’s a massive number for an online video game to reach and is massively record breaking (for a North American developed game). In the years that WoW has been up it has been one wild ride and the rollercoaster keeps on climbing.
The Blizzard highlights this week are very light. There has been very few posts by Blizzard and the majority of them have been in moderating and not news.
That’s about it for this week’s news and headlines. Check in next Tuesday morning for more here at WoW at TenTonHammer. |
