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.

Three days ago I came across an Abandoned Eagle Egg in a hollowed out tree and today a Baby Amani Eagle hatched. It's a non battle pet and very cute. I might suggest its sleeping pose needs work though, I thought I'd killed it. 😬 #MidnightAlpha #Midnight #WoW #Warcraft

My in-game bag with an egg icon inside, with the words DNT Abandoned Eagle Egg, Soulbound, Unique, Duration: 3 days.

My little hatched Baby Amani Eagle (Grey), a little grey, pale grey and white baby eagle.

My little Baby Amani Eagle (Grey) sleeping, although it is flat on the ground, it's wings spread and it's head on it's side. It does look kind of dead.

Throughout Alpha I've made sure to look for Easter eggs, little purple loot pouches (of which there are so many) or clickable items. This Unfinished Sheet Music of Lirath Windrunner was in Silvermoon City. 🎵 #WoW #Warcraft #Midnight #MidnightAlpha

Written on paper I clicked on in SIlvermoon City: Unfinished Sheet Music. A handwritten sheet of music intended for the lyre, only partially filled in. The thin paper is brittle with age. "Dawn's Caress", Dedicated to His Grace, Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider. Composer - Lirath Windrunner.

Potential Midnight hunter pets - looks added to the database today.

First, the amazing new dragonhawks!

Note that the last (plain golden yellow) one is actually the skin for the Light-infused dragonhawk model, but it works very nicely on the standard model.

Montage of 8 new dragonhawk looks added in WoW: Midnight. Black, blue, green, orange, purple-pink, red, red-yellow, golden yellow.

You know it's Alpha when, on exiting a delve in Midnight you are transported to Tarren Mill. And you're alliance. 😆 #WoW #Warcraft

Thank you, I really enjoy doing this. I'll be honest though even as I complete quests and test, I try really hard not to absorb what I am reading. I can spot a grammatical error without actually spoiling it too much for myself 😊

Just looking over Zul'Aman for any more quests. Sadly, I think I have picked up all that are currently available. I'm no longer getting XP anyway (sitting at 88) so I'm ready for the next phase please! #WoW #Midnight #MidnightAlpha #Warcraft

My warlock overlooking the landscape of Zul'Aman with Silvermoon City in the distance, and tall trees and mountains in the foreground.

As soon as I saw the string on my door handle was snapped I thought, Persephonae has been here!

I know there's been a lot of interest in Shadra, the other Loa's we have seen and those we're yet to see. I try to avoid questline spoilers here but just know there is a LOT of information regarding the Tribes and their history with their Loa's. #WoW #MidnightAlpha #Midnight

A shot of Shadra, almost transparent in blue in a crypt.

There are certainly some nasty types in the darker shadows of Zul'Aman. ☠️ #Midnight #MidnightAlpha #WoW #Warcraft

A skeleton named Vile Boneservant carrying a troll over it's shoulder. It is wearing a lin cloth with barnicles on it.

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.

Haughty Chicken @haughtychicken.bsky.social · 20h

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

Happy Birthday 🎉

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.
