RL-WOW sneak-peek!

[Mantigora]

Some of you may have heard of this Ultra-HiRes server that they call Real Life.

A long time ago, at the time of exploring Nothrend, I came across a picture from Real Life and I thought:
Wait a minute, i just saw that same broken tree here in WoW.
So, I went back to have a look and lo and behold, there was that exact same tree!

To give you all a glimpse of how RL looks, I will post some pictures that I have managed to find.
If one of you does somehow have some pictures too, feel free to share!

I hope you enjoy this exclusive glimpse into Real Life!

Greetings,

Mantigora.




Grizly Hills in Real Life!

[Mantigora]

And I found another one!

I think most of you recognise where this is (unless you do not like the Horde places).
Just look at the detail of those bare branches! Amazing, isn't it?

[Xantros]

Wow! This MMO looks amazing! They did a good job replicating Warcraft!
Where can you play it?!

Also, how is the economy in RL? Hope the Gold-farmers didn't ruin it yet

[Sinrek]

That MMO sucks. The Priest class is absolutely broken, with no spells ever working. Although gotta admit, First Aid received some major buffs, huge even!

Alas, the warrios are extinct now … or perhaps they class changed somehow into some OP hunters with no pets. Dunno, sucks hard.

The economy is hardly viable nowadays, better not even start it.

[Merikkinon]

LOL great thread already

[Bayanni]

The warlocks are underpowered and are only played by RPers now. Plus all the best hunter pets were removed in the Cretaceous balance patch. The graphics are great, but you can only play in 1st person without in-game gear which can only be made by other players and costs actual in-game currency! What a ripoff.

I'd uninstall, but it's sucked me in and I can't quit. As much as the game is in sore need of some GM intervention, I don't think I'll stop playing for years, maybe even decades.

[Darreno]

this Real Life thing is truly some uncanny valley stuff :P

[Torta]

GMs literally never respond, shit server.

[Mantigora]

I would not know, I just found these pictures on the net.
That reminds me, I found one that would be more well-known by those who roam the places of the Alliance:



Just look at those blades of grass! You can see each one of them!

[Mantigora]

What do you guys think of my Real Life Swiftthistle?




And I found a picture of the Real Life Stonetalon Mountains.

They are even more pointy in Real Life.

[Merikkinon]

Needs to be pinned. So unique.

[Mantigora]

Another one from Stonetalon.


And everyone knows that big rock in the Wailing Caverns, right?



Anyone else that can share some nice pictures of Real Life?

[Sinrek]

Sharp catch.

[Merikkinon]

Totally talented eye.

[Mantigora]

Another one from the Wailing Caverns.
You can expect the Crocolisks to appear any moment!

Boohoo, you did not even mention Kresh!

And one from another cave.
It took me quite some time to find this spot.


Who knows where this is from?

[Mantigora]

Time to get out of the caves and fly high above.
Today some aerial views. One from the Barrens and one from Dun Morog


The Barrens Aerial view.



Dun Morog Aerial view.

[Mantigora]

We stay up in the air.


Wildfury river, alongside Ashenvale, looking much more wild in RL.


And what is this? That looks like outland!

Nagrand Aerial view.

[Mantigora]

Someone made a picture of a Human spy, overlooking the area above SunRock Retreat!

I went to check it out, but he was already gone.


And to not let you go with only one picture, look at this one from the Bloodmyst Isles.

These kind of pictures are hard to get, nowadays.

[Mantigora]

Some new pictures are in! This time from the Arathi Highlands.

Entering the Arathi Highlands, coming from Tandol Span.


And one more, from behind Stromgard.

The fortifications seem to be missing in Real Life.

[Trangoul]

GMs literally never respond, shit server.

OTOH, there are guilds which claim control over a zone and act like they were GMs. Have the slightest disagreement with them, and they will hunt you down. Surprisingly, those guilds seldom have wars with each other, which were common several seasons ago.

[Mantigora]

Two more new pictures found their way to my inbox.

Blackrock Mountain, looking ominous, in Real Life.


And one from the bay in Stranglethorn Vale.

[Allwynd01]

What's this?

[Mantigora]

Summer (nearly) over here, a few new pictures of Real Life landed in my inbox.

Thousand Needles, in Real Life. Who would go to such a place?


And what a HOT summer it was! It even made Tanaris look like a nice place to visit:

[Xepug]

Woah, so cool

[Mantigora]

We have reached the Z of Zul'farrak and that seems to be the end of this Real-Life WoW sneak-peak.
For now.

An intriguing picture, a fitting end for an equally intriguing peek into Real-Life WoW.
How much older (and bigger) it seems to be in RL!

Who knows if some more pictures will find their way to my mailbox?
I will be sure to post them if I can.
But for now, goodbye!
