The Azshara Zone

I can’t believe after 14 years that I have just now noticed that the zone Azshara is shaped like the horde symbol.

Ok, that is understandable since it is in horde territory… So where is the Alliance shaped zone?

Oh that just those Bilgewater goblins sucking up to Garrosh for more gold payment.

The Goblins did it. They destroyed Azshara, my favourite Vanilla zone.

Now it’s ruined, and has that silly Goblin music everywhere! It used to be atmospheric, menacing and scary in Azshara, but now…

Thanks, Goblins! :confounded:

When Garrosh was horde leader the goblins remade Azshara to look like the Horde symbol to impress him. It hasn’t looked like that the whole time.

The real question is… who cares?

Azshara is a waste of a zone, really ugly since Cata. They should rebuild it.

If you take a walk around the barrens you’ll see the Alliance symbol everywhere.

I agree, I have refused to ever level an alt there since Cata. I will never support the Goblin-occupied Azshara!

How to be a whiny Alliance 101.

Because you don’t have goblins who have too many bombs and too much time on their hands.

Sunday you certainly don’t disappoint.

If you think about it, that was a colossal waste of resources. No one but map makers would ever even know it was shaped like that, because unless you were in space, you’d never even see it.

It’s rather surprising that the Goblins would waste so much gold doing something so… unprofitable.

It’s an investment where the return is looking great for your war crazed warchief.

Hmm, maybe they planned on launching him into space where he could see it. Would have solved a lot of problems.

Actually the original map looked nothing like the horde symbol, that was changed in Cata. Goblins.

It was changed in Cata. I hate it. Making Deathwing change the way the land looks to create a cheesy horde symbol? So bad.

Not even sure how it gained more landmass when the ocean level never changed. But hey, it looks cool, right? :roll_eyes:
