Dan O'Halloran, Turpster, and I all sat down for the 18th episode of the WoW Insider Show (and we got circular for the end of the year, since we had the same cast on the very first show), and it is now available for listening over on WoW Radio's website. We chatted about:

Marcie's new raid healing column, and our new hardcore raiding content
The big Ron Paul rally scheduled for tomorrow afternoon
If summoning stones need neutral guards (they do not) and how mining will get easier

We also talked about our suggested battle cries for the Alliance (my favorite is still "Grab Your Sword and Fight the Horde," and finally someone made a Tshirt for me-- thanks, Arek!-- but we found a lot of support for "You No Take Candle!" so I guess it's up to the Alliance what they like best). And we shared our New Year's resolutions for 2008-- Turpster's resolution is 1680x1050 (funny guy), Dan resolved to try some PvP, I resolved to play my good old Night Elf Hunter more, and see if I can't have a look at some high level content from the Alliance side.

Definitely check out the show if you're bored while off work tomorrow, and don't forget-- we do this show live on WoW Radio every Saturday afternoon, so be sure to listen in again this coming Saturday at 3:30pm EST.

Nice sword design though I think it should look a bit more epic.

P.S. Hey Mike, new alliance war-cry..... "For the Glory of the Alliance"

There's something said during the credits video in Warcraft 3, once the game is beaten. Specifically, near the end during some of the "blooper reels". You hear the voice of one of the footmen say:
"Uncle Lothar wants YOU!" I think that would be good for alliance XD

More like "grab your pre-made and hope you beat the Horde".

Or better yet - "Alliance grab your ankles and take it like women".

I, for one, welcome our new sword-wielding, Horde-fighting overlords...

"Grab your sword and fight the horde" - maybe catchy but i still I think its bad battle crie, just imagine typing (or yelling) it in BG, you can be dead by the time you type it. Or try remembering GYSAFTH which even doesnt make sence.

Also, dont you think including word 'Horde' advertises Horde as a faction. Just think, what first comes to your mind when you see someone wearing a T-Shirt with bolded red word "Horde"?

@Saiforune, had the same idea the moment finished reading "For the Glory of the Alliance". "Glory to the Alliance" is definately better.

p.s. For the Horde!!!

Glory for the Alliance is the best...clearly!
