Every week we’re asking our listeners a different question, and we received so many responses for the last one that we couldn’t use them all on the show.

When it comes to New Year’s WoW resolutions, here’s what our Twitter followers have planned for 2013…

@Chaos5061 Not a resolution but more of a hope that I can earn enough gold to get the Yak mount this year.

@The_Elizabella To level my panda to 90 and maybe start healing raids with her. A DK can dream right?

@CalmPanda I would like to help many more of the non pandaren’s on pandaria find calm and serenity…

@soulseared to focus less on what I haven’t achieved and focus more on what I have.

@spiderkav To play more with my Battletag / RealID friends

@SoCalWoWGal Get one toon to max lvl, been playing over a year and my highest toon is only lvl 77, maybe I am playing with too many alts

@Ionnianna To get a battle pet team to 25.

@AirlinaHunter short term – get ‘double agent’ achievement. Mid term – get Violet Protodrake. Long term – get one of each race to 90. Make that every race except worgen #longstory

@TeunPronk Don’t have one but now to think it. Probably getting my warrior(85) ,paladin(85) , dk(86) and warlock(78) up to 90. :3

@Legracen I resolve to finally figure out how to make gold without dailies!

@Willy_Foss To become more involved in wow community. Podcasts, blogs, and Twitter , oh my!

@DKDiaries Getting Insane in the Membrane before the end of the year.

@Darrow21 Mine is to do more than just spending all my energy on dailies.

@RTJeff88 level all classes to 90, max 1 of each prof and own 1 of every pet. Have my main running all current raid tiers.

@Kelsenella  to attempt to begin raiding again doubt that will happen though

@rpandagirl finish all the 5.0 and 5.1 reps

@amijadethelock My resolution is to start playing my alts again. I’ve been having too much fun on my main and they’ve been neglected

@Musapean My New Years WoW resolution would have to be to decide on 2 characters and stick with only them throughout the year.

@nevikjames Pry myself away from D3 long enough to at least produce a Postcards From Azeroth every day. Kinda failed over the holidays 🙁

@bullet_atf getting a horde to 90 so i can see the other side of the story

@The_Breja Finally find a raiding team again, get Kev@BKCrafting to transfer, and find more time to play “All The Games”

@Jangasm My WoW resolution is to get my Zookeeper Title!

@yinxy to get a Horde toon to 90.

@MissMulgra My resolution is to turn all the Orc peons into proper citizens who don’t just sneak off to sleep all the time.

Learn the next Question of the Week by listening to All Things Azeroth #327 when it’s up, and be sure to follow us on Twitter @AllThingsAz. We’ll post the Question of the Week on Twitter a day or two before the next show!

Winter Veil includes a bunch of goblin vendors who are dressed up for the holiday. Most players don’t spend a lot of time looking at these little NPCs. You run to them to get a quest, and return to turn it in. You go back when you need to buy some wrapping paper, or holiday spices, and then head off to make something with that important ingredient. When Winter Veil ends, these goblins disappear, (until next year).

Blizzard didn’t have to put a whole lot of effort into naming the “for a limited time” goblin NPCs. However, being Blizzard, they did take the time to give the little green folk who want to sell you holiday items some rather interesting names.

The ones that are friendly to Horde players have all been given the surname “Copperpinch”. Again, it makes me wonder exactly how they are related. Are two of them the parents of the family? Are the rest siblings to each other? Did some of the Copperpinch goblins marry into the family and change their last name? I’ve no idea, but it would be interesting to find out, someday.

Someone on Twitter (Again, forgive me, I cannot recall who it was), pointed out that the Winter Veil vendor goblins have been given first names that fit a specific theme. Each is named after an “in real life” retail store!

Somehow, this seems fitting. I can believe that if a goblin took a Winter Veil vacation from Azeroth and visited the real world right now, he or she would be inspired enough by the capitalism and commercialism of the season to name their child after a retail store. For a race that shares words of wisdom like “Time is money, friend!”, naming a child after a retail store would probably be seen as a lucky name that would bring the kid lots of gold in his or her lifetime.
