Preview of the next WoW patch

I play World of Warcraft. They have a patch coming up that has some changes I was interested in, so I signed on to their "Public Test Realm." Basically, this gives you access to the new patch before it's finished so you can submit feedback about anything that's not quite right. I've seen a few and thought I'd share some of the more visually interesting ones.

One of the features they are adding is Guild Banks. Players who join together in a Guild can access shared storage space for items and gold. This can be very convenient. Instead of having to run around and find another player to give them something, you can just deposit it in the Guild Vault for later access by the other player. Some of the Guild Vaults could use a bit of aesthetic redesign.

For three years the boats that take you from one continent to another have glided through the water empty except for their player passengers. They've finally added crews to these ships. But this guy was a bit frightening when I first saw him.

Finally, not actually an error, just a bit of foolishness I did. (I'll leave it as an exercise for the class to figure out how.)

It's all fun and games until the Luchadores show up.
