The Shimmering Flats are based southeast of the Thousand Needles (Horde territory). There, a group of goblins builds rocketcars and races them against the same contraptions as the gnomes. I didn't take pictures of that, since I was busy at...
The Rustmaul Dig Site. What was I doing there? Another interesting story.
Seems the fat, ugly Dwarves recently discovered that the Titans had a hand in their creation. Dwarves being dwarves, they've started digging up Kalimdor to try and find clues as to their lineage. Possibly to find out why the Titans made them so fat and ugly.
Anyways, our beloved Warchief Thrall sent out a war party to kill the dwarves. We can't let them dig up our lands, after all. Regrettably, just as they engaged the dwarves, the greedy diggers accidently dug straight into a nest of insectoids called Sillithid. Those are the multi-legged critters you see there.
The orcs managed to escape, but the dwarves weren't so lucky. Naturally, we couldn't let this insult stand, so the remains of the war party sent me and my good friend Keo there to exact terrible revenge on the Sillithid.
After killing tons of the worthless Hive Drones above, we had to go deeper, to find the powerful Invaders and Searchers. What did we find but the Sillithid Nest itself.
That's the entrance. Mmmm. Notice the pulsating, fleshy lights that lit our way. Delicious.
Another look at their honeycomb-like structures.
Not pictured are the tons of Sillithid we had to fight our way through to get here. Killing them all left me sort of too busy to take shots.
Regardless, we fought our way through until we reached...
The Hive Central. Not too scary...until you look a little to your right.
Those are cocooned Sillithid infants. Purely visible through those transparent shells. Pretty gross just seeing them in screenshots, but what you don't see is their cocoons dripping embryonic fluids and them occasionally TWITCHING AS THEY STARE AT YOU!
Good God!
But that's a little intense. So here's me preparing to go onto a hostile planet with this teleporter, as built by the goblin engineer standing beside me.
Beam me up, Scooty.

You really do love this game, do you?
It's very fun, there are people who want to know about it and I enjoyed taking pictures of it.
If you don't like it, I'm not going to fly over to Germany and force you to read it.
It was more a case of stating the obvious.

Lemme see what I can dig up out of my archives here...
Here's a dragon I stumbled across while rolling through the Alterac Mountains.
It followed a quest I did in which there is a pretty good story...
Alterac is right above the Hillsbrad Foothills, which is currently a contested zone on Azeroth. The Alliance set up a little place named Southshore...on the south shore. Good. The Forsaken have taken control of a place called Tarren Mill. There's also the town of Hillsbrad, which has a lot of Horde quests that involve killing humans and their pets. At the behest of a long-dead novice in Tarren Mill, I sought out the rod of his long-dead master, Helcular, whom had been lynched by the humans of Southshore and left for dead. I found the rod in the hands of one of the cave yeti that lived nearby. After obtaining the rod, I had to charge it with three seperate magical pyres that were held by the yeti. Afterwards, the novice told me to take revenge. I took the charged rod and slammed it into the grave of Helcular. The dead master animated and suddenly rose a huge army of skeletons and proceeded to rampage through Southshore, killing everyone. Regrettably, I only lasted long enough to see him and his undead puppets kill a human warlock and a dwarf before a Southshore guard jumped me.
Spoiled for those who care enough about it.
Here's an interesting one...does this look familiar?
Hint: If you want to challenge yourself as a Warcraft nut, don't look at the zone name in the upper right corner. Or the text in the lower right.
No? How about...now?
You can probably figure it out now.
Also, unlike any other MMOG I've seen, languages are actual languages, and not random gibberish like "pgxxaogajgagj faugagjgag."
You notice it a lot when you're fighting different races. When you fight dwarves, they'll shout stuff in Dwarvish, which sounds Scandanavian. Stuff like: "Kyld skalf schein!"
Meanwhile, if you listen to Orcish, it sounds a lot like: "Kek azz gorak." You get the idea.
By the way: "kek" is Orcish for "lol"

Fah! I knew it before looking at the monument, AND without looking at the zone title 
They have many many more hives in Southern Kalimdor.

Actually Grom wasn't killed.
He died from the massive explosion from Mannoraths death taxing his own fortitude.

Which killed him.

Another interesting, if worthless, tidbit: When you say "lol" or "haha" or "hehe" your character does a laughing animation.Also, unlike any other MMOG I've seen, languages are actual languages, and not random gibberish like "pgxxaogajgagj faugagjgag."

SWG is actually the same way. Saying "lol" makes you look like a retard because you look like you're laughing way too hard at something that isn't all that funny.
And wookies go Rawwrara orraaaar ara raroaarawa if you can't understand Shyriwook as opposed to just going zdsf jzdf ejgeijrgojaer grgaejgdfgdfg.

Can you learn other languages? Like EQ does? Uses talents or skills (the ones that don't come naturally to you)?
