I remember the Battle of Alterac Valley. I lead our forces that day. And the next. None of this modern 15 minutes battles. No – I played for 8 hours that Friday night, then arose from bed on the Saturday morn to play in the SAME BATTLE. For 3 days the battle raged. Players came and left to sleep before returning fresh to fight again for the glory of the horde. Honor kills were not measured in 1,2 or even 3 digits. On that field of battle thousands were the kills. Bosses were summoned, the cooldown waited and then summoned again and again. Stealthed squads summoned reinforcements behind enemy lines. The raids were organized in a way that modern folk could never comprehend. There was something genuinely epic about the scale of the conflict. We knew the names of our foe (a BG being limited to a single realm). War was personal – no retreating to another server and anonymity.
The modern AV is definitely better – there is no doubt. But somewhere along the way the purple become blue became green. And for those of us who are veterans of multiple day battles where a victory was truly earned will always miss a little of that awesomeness.
Assuming there are no shennanigans, my sound is off in class, I must say it is a good movie and speech.

I’d advise against holding your manhood. It interferes with swinging a weapon.
Let Horde win Alterac Valley? The map that’s heavily designed in Alliance’s favor? Whaaaat?
BEST. SPEECH. EVER.
