We are Family
Last night, I logged on to read this as my Guild Announcement of the Day:
“Help a cool person out. Mootrain has been hacked. We are setting up a fund to get his stuff back.” Mootrain is the the number one PvP’er on my server, and he just made High Warlord last week. Now, he is a naked High Warlord.
When I first started playing WoW, I rolled Alliance. I played a human lock for nine months, though I never reached 60 (I was in grad school at the time, and had to be “responsible). In those nine months, I never knew any of the big players on my server (Windrunner). I was abandoned by guild members when they all switched to full-time raiding. I had made one online friend to quest with, but I had to /ignore him when his flirtations became more earnest. I only knew one person in real life who played, my boyfriend, and it was his account that I was using. I was lost in the vast sea of subscribers.
That all changed when I rolled Horde.
After reaching the level to run Wailing Caverns, I found that people I put on my friends list actually /whispered me when I logged on. I recognized names when running Warsong. I could negotiate better deals on auctions about to expire from folks that I has given healthstones to because I was about to log off. I am aware that this warm fuzzy feeling might have something to do with Thorium Brotherhood being a RP realm, but I really think it’s the Horde factor.
And this Horde factor is causing an wave of outrage on the behalf of the greatest warrior on the realm, and an outpooring of generosity. He’s like NOLA, hacked by Katrina. Stay strong Moo, you will be avenged.
First time here.
I saw this article and saw the name Mootrain and I thought, “Hey there is a guy on our server named Mootrain.” When you said #1 PvPer, then I knew it was Thorium Brotherhood.
The Horde on TB is tops. Although I was shocked how cool some of the Alliance kids are.
I will donate what I can. You now have a regular reader.

After going horde, I can’t ever go back. I had a lot of similar experiences. Getting all the 60s out of my guild ninjad for a raid guild, etc. Way too much cyber. Though I did have a big friends list mainly the problem was my main was a rogue. And Yunk I mainly just RPd with, but then a lot of our storytellers left like Nummie and Vena.
Back in the early days of KT, Slade was popular, he was our top PVPer and people actually repected him and followed him in BGs. And he liked to RP. Though as the server aged all that is pretty much gone.
Horde is just so much better. Though as the population has increased it’s not as good as it used to be. I think when the servers are new and smaller it is easier. It almost has a small town feel. KT used to be the same way, but it’s just bigger, more people, more of them are not RPers, but at least most of the non RPers here don’t grief or annoy others it’s still tons better than a PvE or PvP server.
