Well, the whole of Cataclysm is a big ol' fuck you to alliance. Horde loses what, a barrens tower and a zepplin? Alliance loses Darkshore, the Dam, and a statue (That they are trying to fish out of the water, lawl).
But hey, we got a brand new statue of the Copycat King! Hey, did you know he has the orcish name Lo'Gosh? It means "Lone Wolf", isn't that cool?!
God I hate Varian Wrynn...

It's true, though. Nearly every horde city got bigger and more armored. Nearly every alliance city got leveled and relocated to a refugee camp.

Cus Alliance sits around all sipping tea going, "I say Frodorick, does it seem a bit windier indoors these days? Oh my, what has become of the roof?!"
While Horde is all, "Loktar! Let's get this shit fortified, never know when we might have to wage war on a bitch from all over!"

This is generally true. I play Alliance for its greater variety of zone colors and because I have two level 80's I don't want to pay out to faction change. With Thrall gone neutral, Horde isn't nearly as attractive as it used to be.

"Diamonded" actually....
Garrosh is a prick, Sylvanas is a cunt, the Goblins are... well... Goblins.
I expect the real reason for the armored cities is to keep "the new kids" from destroying the place. "You can't spell 'Goblin Engineering' without 'KABOOM'!"

They definitely refer to him as effectively dead in the Cataclysm novel. Anyway they gotta keep the VERY OBVIOUS parity with the deceased Cairne.

I never will understand how that works in a world where resurrection after all manner of violent deaths is commonplace.

My guild used to be horde, but then raid-numbers dwindled until we were forced to merge with an Alliance guild who was also having player-issues.
And now I blame another friend of mine for convincing me I should transfer to the RP server he's on. Haven't raided seriously since BC because of this shit.
Working overnights now doesn't help either. 
I need to find a raiding guild from .au or something.

I wonder if Willias, his brother, Vorago, or Tegadil are still around. If any of you are, do you remember back at the beginning of WoW when we played on Zul'jin and Willias found that empty mushroom town behind the centaur village in Desolace? He swore up and down that it would eventually have something in it; while mining iron today, I happened by said town and it is, in fact populated. Shadowbreak Ravine is a base of operations for the Burning Blade now.
Didn't they add a part of a warlock quest back there?
Whatever, not having done the revamped zone, I imagine it's part of the new Desolace quests.

I have no idea. My warlock is a human and has yet to do a stint as Horde (where my priest started as a blood elf and went through nelf and draenei back to belf).

Motivations for playing Alliance: 1. more variety in terms of zone color palette...okay, that's about it.
Motivations for playing Horde: 1. typing /moo on a Tauren has audio emote...not much here either.
I think the Horde remains more lore-rich than the Alliance but that isn't saying a whole lot. I made the transition back to Horde for the sake of playing with family and friends.

These days, it seems like Parce says.
To be honest, despite having a server I played Alliance on, I was never into their overarching story the way I was with the Horde, and I even started tuning out on the Horde once Garrosh started gaining power and I saw how things were going during WotLK

When Moira Bronzebeard returned from Thaurissan and assumed the throne after Magni died, being a tyrant, declaring martial law, and bringing a bunch of dark irons to bust heads around Ironforge, Varian basically rounded up his best SI:7 and stormed over there fully intent on murdering her - the legal and rightful heir to the Ironforge throne and her infant child.
Thrall is an ass kicker, but he's always a level headed, wise, and experienced leader. Varian is much more like a split personality; Half of the time he's an ultraviolent little kid whose first solution to any given problem is to start chopping people in half, the rest of the time he's a neophyte leader, totally uncertain but desperately trying to be benevolent.
To understand Garrosh, just imagine he's any one of a billion little girls out there with enormous daddy issues and then combine that with all of the usual violent Orc tendencies, minus any of the wisdom or intelligence of any other racial leader in the game. Garrosh isn't even smart enough to know that he isn't smart. Thrall only appointed him temporary stewardship of the horde because he's an extremely popular war hero, and if it weren't for a handful of major deus-ex-machina flashes of intelligence, Garrosh would be nothing but a vapid tool.

Actually, his personality is magically split.
quote:
When his consciousness was split by Onyxia, so too was his personality. One side retained all of Varians manners and etiquette; while the other, Lo'Gosh, retained his skill in battle. Though the two halves were eventually reunited, they did so imperfectly. At times, LoGosh is more dominant, and he is not one to shy away from conflict if he believes it is necessary.
Shitty copycat king is shitty.

Dunno, it always kinda shown that Thrall is far from experianced, rather he is quite young to be a leader.
What is different is that compared to the orc norm(even minus the demon blood) he is calm and collective, and very willing to weigh in the advice or his extremly experianced advisors (Voljin Carine, and Saurfang come to mind)
Plus as a shaman his nature is all ready bargening with volitile and flirty aspects of nature to do what he wants(remember lore wise unlike mages and warlocks that bend and break the elements to their wills, shaman bargin and ask the various elements to do their bidding)
To me these have been the biggest reason for Thrall's succes to keeping the peace which the horde has needed to build a solid framework the last five years dispite the termoil of the burning crusade and the lich king.
.

That being said, Garosh is even younger than thrall, doesn't listen to his advisors(I mean he practacly mocked the goddanm Saurfang in Warsong hold), and even better is from Outland not Azeroth. He is following what is the norm of the orcs out there which is allready abit more savage before you factor in him needing to out do his old man. Granted he has gotten a bit lucky that at least Blaine has inhrited alot fo his old man's wisdom and strenths, But he has pissed off the trolls and now has this crazy undead lady to deal with.

Holy fuck, why am I always so poor? Is it because I don't farm hardly at all?
Or because I haven't bothered to capitalize on the burgeoning herb market? Which kinda falls in line with farming...
I'm pretty sure the fact that I suck at the AH factors in somewhere.
But then I quit playing three years ago, and there seems to be quite an inflation.
