lishesquex: (WoW - fly away)

I went to see "Whip It!" with Jackie and Rianna today.  I really liked it (and not just because I'd do about 50% of the cast).  Lots of girl power and all that.  Afterwards, we made up roller derby names for ourselves.  Jackie is "Jackie O'Nasty" (although I'm rather partial to "Smacky Jackie"), Rianna is "Sock 'em Full of Ri" and I'm "Lickya Lish".

Over the past week, I've been flying around Azeroth hitting up the candy buckets for Hallow's End, and getting the World Explorer achievement for Lish.  Much of it involved riding to the forgotten corners of the most desolate and hard to navigate landscapes in WoW.  And so, ladies and gentlemen, I bring you...



First off, we have the Western Plaguelands.  Note the unhealthy yellowish tinge to the atmosphere.  Nasty.


And Desolace.  Miles upon miles of boring, mostly-empty, grey-ish desert.  This picture is actually rather scenic.


Feralas.  How I hate Feralas.  Full of stupid un-navigatible terrain and cliffs from which you fall off and die.  It's also unbearably long, so riding from one end to the other takes an eon and a half.


I will give you 100g if you can guess where this screencap was taken.  One guess per person.


Bloodmyst Isle.  Again, a rather scenic picture for the zone.  Not a bad zone to quest in, really, but the constant reddish tinge can get depressing. 


Deadwind Pass.  Going through there used to be terrifying when I was a level 20-something. It still gives me the creeps sometimes if I've got the sound high enough to hear there eerie music and ambience.  It's worse when you can see dead bodies hanging off the trees.


Azshara!  I actually love how this zone looks.  The autumn theme is really pretty.  But apparently, some people hate how brown-looking it is.  Pfft, whatever.  I do hate how the zone is laid out though.  Many times I've fallen off the cliffs trying to look for Thorium.



So there you have it.  My journey through the not-so-pretty corners of Azeroth.  Other zones that were awful (to traverse through, quest in, or look at for long periods of time), that should get a (dis)honorable mention are: Eastern Plaguelands, Silithus, Dustwallow Marsh, Darkshore, Ashenvale and the Barrens.

Here's one last screencap:






[Edit: OMG, I'm totally changing my roller derby name to 'Wicked Licious'.]
