Don't be an Armory Orphan

If you haven't been over to the warcraft armory site in a while - wowarmory.com - make sure that you do. A couple of things are hidden that were once visible, but there is a huge new addition. Your character, complete with armor and weapons, is now rendered in the browser exactly as it will appear in-game.

And you can tell the difference right away of which characters are truly loved by their players and which aren't. A normal player doesn't bother checking his armory very much and only uses it for reference. If you really love your character though it's just fun to look at it, and you will have a custom pose set up for it to appear the way you want.

My rogue, for example, is looking off-screen to the right in a crouched position ready to dodge any incoming attacks. I could zoom in our out on him, have an animation play, rotate him to any angle, etc. It's pretty fun to play with. But you can tell who's got a passion for their character, he's not just standing there, he's animated.
