We ran Horde Assistance Days early on, showing up in a specific starting zone for a day of helping newbies with quests/tradeskills/equipment - nothing like a couple dozen high-level characters making sure That Annoying Quest™ is completable with no worries. Our Horde-side guild,, has been around since Day Two of the launch of Thorium Brotherhood, and we've always tried to hold interesting side events that bolster fun and cooperation within the player community. This last romp was conceived as a way to see the quests and zones of old Azeroth from a fresh perspective, in the company of friends and on a casual schedule before Deathwing has his (her? its?) way with the world. Many of our friends on Horde-side TB have either never set foot in an Alliance city (except to kill their leaders, of course) or have created Alliance characters in the past and given them up for inertia. Once that happens, there are going to be huge chunks of WoW that will be gone forever. Mistigris: TaBA is dedicated to seeing as much of vanilla Azeroth Alliance-side content as possible before the Cataclysm changes kick in. That sounds pretty epic! What's the premise?

"While I'd love to have great numbers of new people come over and join us for our fun little endeavor, I don't want to oversell what it is: we're having a good time and seeing things that some people will miss entirely once the new expansion hits - not much more than that," notes GM Mistigris modestly. It's a quest that innumerable alts across Azeroth are undoubtedly pursuing on their own - but these folks are doing it together in one happy, sprawling effort. This Alliance-side group of rerollers on US Thorium Brotherhood is devoted to romping through all the content that will be gone, gone, gone come Cataclysm. Into this volatile atmosphere steps a guild with a purpose. The game world will be changed forever, even for players who do not purchase the expansion. Leveling an alt in today's pre-expansion era is an exercise in nostalgia: "Last time we'll ever search for Mankrik's wife" and "Last time we'll have to run back and forth to the red crystal." Cataclysm will destroy Azeroth as we know it.
