Welcome new followers! This is a collage of the sort of content you'll find here. I love gaming and particularly virtual photography. I often do this in Alpha and Beta versions, so with Midnight coming in a few months, fingers crossed I will be invited back in for that too! 😜 #WoW #Warcraft

A collage of many different screenshots of World of Warcraft including outdoor environments, indoor and in cave environments, important characters and small details such as food and architecture.

The closest I could get towards the Isle of Fangs before being ever so politely booted out. 😊 #Midnight #MidnightAlpha #WoW #Warcraft

A closer look at the Isle of Fangs with the stone temple depicting a snake like Loa.

After questing in Zul'Aman for days now I will say that as an Alliance player I found it really interesting. I didn't think I would be as engaged as I have been having so little troll lore knowledge or understanding prior to going in, but it's been great. #WoW #Midnight #Warcraft

A view over the clouds towards the Isle of Fangs. I can't wait to explore it. #Midnight #MidnightAlpha #WoW #Warcraft

An island in the distance with tall sharp mountains, dark clouds over head and a mist sounding it's base. You can just make out some tall pine-like trees and a troll-style stone temple with a snake-like head at the top.

The glittery appearance of the Pangolil when I saw him and how it was captured. #WoW #Midnight #MidnightAlpha

I've just caught my second pet that didn't require a battle. On seeing the glittery Pangolil it had an interaction 'hand' which when clicked, popped a little cage over him and he was caught. Note, like the Akil Fledgling I caught, it cannot battle. #WoW #Midnight #MidnightAlpha

My warlock character kneeling down in front of my pet, a rust colour Pangolil.

Let's just say it's not wise to upset your tribe (and don't worry, he's not dead, but he does have a bit of a chest pain) 😱 #WoW #Warcraft #Midnight #MidnightAlpha

I love the aesthetics in Maisara Caverns. #Midnight #MidnightAlpha #WoW #Warcraft

A large stone structure with a troll-style carved skull with bright green spell like animations coming from it's mouth periodically. There is a deep and bright blue glow coming from a burning urn at the base.

I ran through Maisara Caverns earlier which I quite enjoyed. Of all the mobs in there this guy has to be my favourite. He looks incredible and has very long grey hair down his back. #WoW #Warcraft #Midnight #MidnightAlpha

A tall floating troll being with a bar chest, pale bronze arm guards and shoulders and a troll-style head dress with green feathers. He has grey skin and long tusks as well as glowing yellow eyes. He lower half is a long kilt/half robe of blue with troll skulls hanging either side. He is casting void like spells, his name above his head is Risen Soulrender

Midnight hunter pet models added to the database tonight.

(A thread - I'll add one panel per post!)

First up, the gorgeous, ethereal new EVERSONG MANA WYRMS.

A stunning update, and a call-back to the wyrm in the BC trailer, which was a lot fancier than the game model ended up being.

Model shots of 6 mana wyrm colours coming in WoW: Midnight. Essentially, flyng ethereal serpents or eels with translucent back halves and beaky, scaled faces. Colours: blue, green, purple, red-gold, dark purple, gold.

I will say that the model chosen for Shadra is my favourite style in WoW. When I'm not playing a lock, I love my hunter and she has a stable of spider companions. I've loved this look since the original style in Blade's Edge Mountains in BC.

Spoilers re Shadra. 🕷️

Halazzi, Loa of the Hunt, speaking to Shadra. Halazzi says "Already your webs spin. I expect no less. Welcome to Aul'Aman, Shadra. Shadra replies "They will never see us coming, Halazzi. This will be fun"

While everyone else has been testing new content, I have been traveling all over Azeroth looking for new #WoW profession recipes for housing decor... and I found a whole lot. Here's all the decor crafting recipes that we've found in the Midnight alpha so far.

All of the housing decor you can craft with professions in Midnight (that we've found so far)

Player Housing is coming in Midnight, and with it the chance to collect decor to adorn your new home. Decor is found all over the world: from vendors, from

As more vendors sell decor items than before, plus the opportunity to now decorate outside our homes, I have been enjoying spending a little more time in my Azeroth home. I can't wait to get my hands on more plants. A veggie patch would be nice! 🥕 #Midnight #MidnightAlpha #WoW

A view from my player housing roof showing a large waterfall coming into a small creek running past my home. The grass and trees are lush green, there is a small blue-shingled pergola and table in the foreground.

A side view of my player house with a well, gryphon roost, wheelbarrow and lamp on a pole. It is located in a lush green area full of trees.

An outside shot of my player house, it has a blue shingled room and rustic wooden beams. It has a tower and in the garden a small fountain and pergola.

A gorgeous new corpsefly look in the 11.2.7 database. Sadly, not currently used by a wild creature.

It was created for a new Turbulent Timeways mount, but since wild & mount corpseflies share a model it's readily available for both.

🤞 a wild one will be added!

Each account can have one home in each faction zone, so two homes 🥰

As I normally play Alliance, I hadn't given much thought to building a Horde home, but having looked closer at the zone I can see quite a few spots that I wouldn't mind calling my second home away from home. #WoWs #Warcraft #Midnight #MidnightAlpha

An overview shot of an area in the Horde Player Housing zone with large rust-coloured cliffs and outcrops and a long waterfall. There are torches highlighting the night sky on pathways and white-barked trees scattered alongside the waterway.

The Commons, Horde Player Housing zone. I will say the zone has more to offer than I originally thought, especially in terms of remote housing plots should that be your choice. #WoW #Warcraft #Midnight #MidnightAlpha

An overview shot of The Commons, with huts of various sizes lit by torchlight and built among tall rust-coloured rocky outcrops. In the distance is a forest of tall trees and a large mountain.

Both factions have a hidden dive bar where Tortollans are sharing a drink or three. I think I prefer the Horde bar myself, there is more of a bar feel to it and appears a little more extensive. 🍸🐢 #WoW #Midnight #MidnightAlpha

A Tortollan undersea bar, built in an upside down timber ships hull. There are troll or tiki like wooden masks on the wall and central pillar and a bar in on the left with visible bottles.

An as yet unpopulated underwater bar in a sandy cave. There are multiple bottles in a rustic bar area and large shells and starfish.

I want to take a moment to appreciate this little area in the Horde Player Housing zone. There are many spaces for RP or simply enjoying the view, but Sorchsong Isle is just lovely. I'm sure Zin'nin will happily take care of your drinks. 🍹 #WoW #Midnight #MidnightAlpha

Troll Bartender Zin'nin, dressed in tropical attire of a summer shirt and red shorts. He has a floral lei around his neck, and tends the bar with drinks and hollowed out pineapple drinks.

A beach wedding area with two vertical rows of seats in the sand lit by torchlights, and a wooden and floral archway at the end. The whole area overlooks the ocean.

It would be remiss of me not to share a little of the Horde Player Housing zones. Like the Alliance zones, they have unique areas depending on your tastes, from beach-front plots, craggy rust-coloured mountains to autumnal forests. #Midnight #MidnightAlpha #WoW

A view looking back over Gragthorn Highlands. It is lush with tall trees with autumn coloured leaves and grasses and tall waterfalls falling into the ocean.

An overview of small islands of sand with rocks and palm trees, at the edge of Razorwind Shores.

A closer look at Cragthorn Highlands at night, with lamps glowing, rustic timber bridges and tall autumn-leaved trees.

An overview of Razorwind Shores, with sandy paths between green patches of pine trees and ferns and some farming. In the distance are large red rocky outcrops and tall white-barked trees. There is a small river flowing through the area.
