Similar to "Current Contests", but these are in THE PAST (aka black and white).

 

Welcome everyone to the Darkmoon Times!  To celebrate our launch, we wanted to have a special contest.  We are focused on helping everyone find the gold mine Azeroth has given us… The Warcraft Community!  Within the community we have teachers, creators, entertainers, good citizens, and friends.  We have so many great voices but sometimes it can be a little overwhelming to keep up with everyone and where to find them. This is where you come in! Help us Fill the Faire!

We have a continuously growing Community Directory but we want to fill it up FAST!  Submit one of your favorite community content creators to be added to any category of the directory between now and June 30, 2016 for your chance to win a Battle.net Store World of Warcraft In-Game Pet of your choice!

Information Booth – Banners

Posted on by

Selina welcoming you to the Darkmoon Faire at her Information Booth.

 

Hello again, Darkmoon visitors.  Selina here for another information update. We are busy busy here at the times trying to prepare for our opening day. We are hoping our preparations will conclude by June 5th and we will be ready to open the times for one and all!  Until then, please excuse the ongoing construction. We have made many changes since our last conversation. Let’s take a look.

 

Banners

Banners have been going up on articles and in the directory.  Our photographer has enjoyed bringing scenes from all across Azeroth and incorporating them into our titles. We currently have half the new banners in place. We will be adding more weekly. Keep an eye out for new ones!

 

Signatures

We have a delightful group of writers here at the Times. Moonfang, Kae Ti, Mola, Professor Thaddeus, Carl Goodup, and more have agreed to bring their unique interests and views here to share. Each writer has submitted a unique signature for their articles. We hope it helps you get to know them even more.

 

Fun & Games Menu

We hope our new Fun & Games menu will be a place where everyone can come and interact with us! We hope you will share your opinion about hot topics around Azeroth and participate in the upcoming contests we hope to challenge you with in the future.

 

New Player Initiative

You might have noticed a new menu for new players. We remember our first days in Azeroth and how overwhelming everything can be. We hope to be a source for new players to use while learning the ropes.

 

We simply cannot wait until the times is ready to be shared with the world. We hope you continue to bare with our construction and keep making great suggestions on improvements we can continue to make.

Of Legion and Transmogs – Blog Scroll

Posted on by

The spot to find articles about Warcraft blogs! Piece of parchment with "Blog Scroll" visible and various other blurry statements around it.

 

As the Legion launch and the Warcraft movie release date continue to get closer and closer we are going to see more and more announcements popping up. With my busy schedule at the Faire, I can barely keep up with everything! Thankfully, the community has things covered and are posting news as they see it. As bloggers talk about upcoming Azeroth news, they are talking Of Legion and Transmogs. Let’s see what news we have this week on the Blog Scroll.

 

Alternative Chat

This week there was a Legion Developer chat between Jesse Cox and Ion Hazzikostas about Legion updates. It was streamed live then moved to the Battle.net launcher so players could watch on demand.  Haven’t had time to watch the 53 minute video in it’s entirety? Don’t worry! Alt has you covered with her handy Visual Guide to the Legion Dev Chat video. She summarizes the Legion news with perfect gif reactions in her post “Fantastic Day”.

 

Bubbles of Mischief

You might have noticed a tweet by @Warcraft and ohh’d and ahh’d at the possibility of in game items, coming to Azeroth with the launch of the Warcraft movie.

There was no more information given and many of us were left wondering “Why be a tease, Blizzard?”  We need information and we need it now!  So are you still wondering how we get these goodies? I know I am! Good thing Cymre has a pretty good theory with her sources of information to back her theory and shares it in a post called “Warcraft Movie Perks”

 

Between the Legion invasion and the upcoming Warcraft movie, there’s definitely going to be a lot of news and discussions coming up this year. We can’t wait to see what the blogging community thinks about upcoming Legion and Movie news!  Until next time, keep blogging Azeroth!

 

Enjoyed these bountiful blogs? Find even more writers here on our directory page!

Legion Invading August 30th – Azeroth News

Posted on by

Selina welcoming you to the Darkmoon Faire at her information booth.

 

After emerging visibly shaken from a tent today at the Darkmoon Faire, Sayge began sharing what many are calling a detailed vision of things to come.

“I saw King Varian on a large airship writing a letter to his son.  He spoke of a darkness that was coming and how he must fight it. Just as he finished, his situation began to become more dangerous. I saw the King on the deck with a fierce battle underway on the horizon.”

Sayge's vision upon the Alliance boat during the Legion invasion.

“I saw another ship fly close to the King’s. Lady Sylvanas herself was on board. They nodded at each other before taking up arms as if they shared a common enemy. Just then,I realized what this enemy, this darkness, was. It was the Burning Legion, I could tell by the wretched green fel cloud I saw in the distance.  Then, the attack began!”

“The King ordered his crew to open fire, but he had no sooner spoke the word when an infernal crashed into his airship! It climbed aboard the deck. The King was almost knocked overboard but caught onto the ship just in time. He was still too close to the infernal and was about to be attacked, when Lady Sylvanas came to the rescue and shot the infernal in the hand!”

Sayge's vision with the wounded infernal during the legion invasion.

“Just then, the King’s airship crashed into the side of Sylvanas’.  The Dark Lady had to take quick action not to be hit herself. She used a rope to propel herself onto the King’s ship.Together they defeated this monstrosity but at the cost of damaging the ship to catastrophic proportions. The ship crashed into the water.”

“I saw the King sinking quickly. Then, as if he had found the will to continue his fight, he opened his eyes and fought his way ashore. There, together with Lady Sylvanas, he began fighting demon after demon. Then he yelled ‘For Azeroth!’ then my vision went dark. I only saw one more thing…  I saw the faces of King Wrynn and Lady Sylvanas along with glowing numbers…  08.30.16”

 

Legion invasion date visioned by Sayge. Seen is a foggy view of Sylvanas Windrunner & Varian Wrynn with the Legion logo between them.Could this indeed be a prophecy of an attack by the Burning Legion? Could another Legion invasion be on the way? Here at the Darkmoon Times we will be watching for signs of the Legion invasion August 30! Stay tuned for any more breaking news!

Information Booth – Directory

Selina welcoming you to the Darkmoon Faire at her Information Booth.

 

Information Booth

Hello guests, Selina Dourman here to bring you the latest in Darkmoon Fair… ummm… ahem… Darkmoon Times information. As you can see, Silas and I have been busy working with the carnies to get everything here at the times ready for visitors. In just a short week, Silas has put down a foundation for what we hope will be a beautiful place where you can find community members who love Azeroth so much that they coordinate events or make things to share with the world.

 

Creator Directory

We have added a directory of creators of all kinds. We are trying to build the biggest directory in Azeroth of podcasters, bloggers, crafters, streamers, artists, musicians, educators, machinima artists, cosplayers, and more. This is a large task, but we hope with your suggestions and recommendations it will continue to grow.  We also have a calendar setup for all of the event coordinators who host annual community events. We want to help you spread the word!  Whether you or someone you know is blogging about hot Azeroth news, knitting hats for Pepe, or coordinating a community gnome run, let us know!
