According to several internet articles, (this being one of them), Sam Raimi – of Spider-Man and Evil Dead fame – will be directing the live-action version of Warcraft. WoW-Nerds have been chomping at the bit for this movie for ages. There’s no word on a script, but with Raimi being firmly attached to this movie, it’s only a matter of time before this thing gets off the ground in a big way.

The big question is – will this movie be more Lord of the Rings? Or will it end up simply being another Dungeons and Dragons? Personally I can’t see this movie doing well. The backstory isn’t as interesting or original enough to appeal to the general public, and if you want a movie to do well, that’s who you market it for – the General Public. NOT WoW fans.

How can this movie be saved? Thrall and Hellscream need help. They need the Rokk. And who could possible handle the daunting task of playing the sexiest Tauren this side of Awesomeville?

Groovy.

Imagine our surprise when a letter arrived in the mail.

Really? Argent Tournament? Kinda thought that was a bit of a low level to start this particular questline, but what the Hell. This was one great big hunk of Tauren that wasn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, regardless of level.

After flying to the scene, there were only a couple of daily quests available. One requesting fetching wood, and another asking for stone. Repairs, building and such. (Apparently these quests will no longer be available after patch 3.2 as the Colosseum will be complete.) After that, we were invited to enroll in the tournament itself. Huzzah!

We were then trained on the finer points of jousting on the back of a bird. For now, the quests are for mugging training dummies. After we gather up 15 Aspirant’s Seals, we’ll really start throwing down – Rambo Style!
