Downfall and Friends Take Orgrimmar/Undercity/Silvermoon/Thunderbluff
Jobs — Mon, 10/06/2008 - 23:28
At 7:25 PM server time, our raid entered the top Horde capital, Orgrimmar. Four minutes is all it took for Thrall, leader of Orgrimmar, to fall. After this triumph over the Horde, Downfall, aided by a grp of elite Alliance guilds, crept thru the filth of the sewers deep within the Undead capital. Quickly arriving within the chambers of Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, obtaining reign throughout the city, Downfall and Allies celebrated a well earned victory.
With the two most important Horde capitals destroyed, other downfall members, along with additional elite alliance, formed groups to further the destruction within Horde territory.
---I don't wish to include any ignorance towards the rest of the mayhem that took place during the evening, but I must admit...
This night will be hard to forget as we all witnessed a total anarchy within multiple Horde capitals. To my guild, Downfall worked well tonight. Thank you leaders and friends.
With the footage I obtained tonight, I hope that something is created which is worthy of the performance of our guild.

2008 City Raid Video
Jobs — Tue, 03/03/2015 - 09:57I finally have taken the time to track down my old hard drive and join all the 2 hours of FRAPS video data together and put it on Youtube. A warning up front: The audio is a little loud. The link to the video is in this topic's description above. Set some time aside for a trip down memory lane. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I have. Also, we need to make sure Serenity is aware of this video so they can watch it too.
Peace!

garreth — Tue, 10/07/2008 - 16:52Since the horde turnout was pretty lackluster, the next time we do this we're going to post for all to see.
I'd really like to see this against an army of horde at the Ogrimmar front gate.

bluetouguyss — Tue, 10/07/2008 - 16:30I concur with lunchbox. My fav moment was when we were pinned down by who knows how many horde. We kept falling farther and farther back knowing that 40 or more DF were on their way. We held out til right before they made it respawned and just PWNED everything in our path! That was EPIC!
Just adding my voice to the
jaibyrd — Tue, 10/07/2008 - 15:41Just adding my voice to the chorus of 'Hells Bells, that was a good time' Most fun I've had in pvp in years. Thanks to all the players who organized/oversaw the attack and I also want to just point out the one thing that truely astounded me: We followed directions/were where we needed to be and directed to be without any difficulty at all!!! That brought the nerdy lump to my throat right there.
Yes, I like to heal. No, I've never been shadow.
I had such a great time
ALnwick — Tue, 10/07/2008 - 14:49I had such a great time last night. I had been anticipating raiding a capital since the last time we bunkered down inside of Orgrimmar (btw how long ago was that... it has to be well over a year).
anyways... Today I was thinking about the signifigance of what we accomplished last night and I am truly proud to have been a part of it.
Thanks for the invite Kati! Good job G on the coordination and to the other officers who helped execute successful raids, CURRAHEE! And congrats and respect to all those who helped and participated. It was awesome to raid with yall again!
DF is going to fucking pwn WOTLK!
Peace! Seacrest Sucks!

Blizzhax — Tue, 10/07/2008 - 08:16LOL
Greatest thing I have ever seen in my history of WoW.
It's funny actually because I never thought that I would be Alliance (after spending 2 something years on my Tauren shaman), and I never really expected to be a part of what essentially was the raping of an entire empire (one that I was part of for so long).
BUT
I am very proud of what we did, and was having the time of my life as we laid waste to each and every city.
I loved hearing the screams/cheers/enthusiam of all the people that are/were not familiar with the beauty of world PVP (it may have been post BC, but it still showed people the potential and reminded some of us of the glorius past).
Honestly.. one of the funnest nights I have ever had.

Yeah being pinned down in
Lunchbox — Tue, 10/07/2008 - 07:27Yeah being pinned down in the hallway in UC was fustrating but fun. It was like the Dirty Downfall Dozen, but with more delinquints. The thing I remember most was us shouting, "We are suffering massive damage and casualties, we need reinforcements", to a reply of, "Ummm yeah guys just hold your trousers up, Garreth saw a butterfly and is chasing it. We can't enter the city, till the darn thing has been caught and catalogued in his collection." It was one of the funniest things in my life. FYI HORDE SHAMMIES: need to work on less Mie and more Sham if they wanna dance with the DF magical goats.

Dragon — Tue, 10/07/2008 - 07:19A few months back when I was leveling Callide and Karli was lvlin Dirty in SS we came in and got instant ganked...
It led to erm, 8 DF members flying out to SS, kicking the horde out then taking over Tarren Mill. Of course, we had raid an hour later but we took what we could get :D

Fjork — Tue, 10/07/2008 - 07:16That's one aspect of the game that BGs saddens me about. I remember having an almost continual war in Southshore pre-BGs. You want to turn your quests in at Tarren Mill? Sorry, NPCs are all dead.
Oh! You wanna turn your quests in at Southshore? Yeah, they're fine. We killed the measley counter-attack the horde putup. :D
I used to pair up with two mages and just healbot them as they ran around spamming AOE. Man those were the days.

Used to be that the floor of blackrock mountain was blanketed by skeletons from both sides. It was epic. You just really don't get that anymore =(

We had that happen one-time
Fjork — Tue, 10/07/2008 - 07:07We had that happen one-time pre-bc when Horde raided Theramore. We had everyone charge and start their AOE simultaniously. You could log unto the Eastern Kingdoms, but Kalimdor was locked for like twenty minutes. When I finally logged Fjork back on, he was sitting in the middle of Mulgore for no apparent reason.
i wish the server would have
darkwolf — Tue, 10/07/2008 - 06:57i wish the server would have crashed that would have been even more epic imagine just knowing u had that many people together that u brought down a server, next time we doa city raid i hope the server does go down lol it will be remembered for a while lol even blizz will be like wtf.
So I tried to get a
