I’d been playing Herbiez, my new Human Priest, with Attic, a fighter, yesterday afternoon, when the Guild channel lit up. I don’t remember exactly what was being said, but I suggested that we all take out our level 70 toons and raid CrossRoads. I know I know this is sooooo yesteryear but whatever.
We met in Ratchet at 3pm Server time. I was, of course, late, because I had dinner and watched an old Star Trek TNG Episode (QPid for those who care - horrible episode starring Jean-Luc Picard as Robin Hood and Worf as a ‘Merry Man’ - “SIR! I MUST Protest! I am NOT a merry man!”)
So anyways our Epic raiding party consisted of:
- Chianna, level 70 Gnome Mage and esteemed Guild Leader
- Gravewax, level 70 Human Mage, wearing Epics from head to toe.
- Drehand, level 70 Night Elf Hunter with a fantastic sense of humour
- Daralan, level 70 Night Elf Rogue and Raid Party leader
- Burnman, level 56 Human Mage, who likes beer and has a slow horse (not his fault!)
- Mandorall, level 70 poorly-equipped Paladin and designated “Healer” who died a lot
So we raided Crossroads, managed to kill pretty much everyone, then some level-70 Hordies started showing up. Of particular annoyance were a Warrior, Shaman and Rogue who were quite adept at killing the Paladin, and everyone else.
We did that for a while, then went down to Camp Taurajo for fresh killing. That went well as well, mostly because no enemy players showed up.
At that point it was getting a bit late, so someone had the great idea of a suicide run on Orgrimmar! In all honesty it was Daralan’s idea but I type faster so I said it.
The goal would be to ride in as fast as possible, and try to kill a banker!
So being the ultimate sport that I am, I rode in first, aggroed all the guards, bubbled and made my way to a banker, which I managed to hit for maybe 2,000 damage before dying struck down. Daralan actually managed to kill a Banker - an Epic feat if there was ever one! - before being undone.
I’m not sure what happened to everyone else, but we all died. IT WAS GLORIOUS!
Daralan and I are thinking that we should organize a huge raid group - preferably several of them - and go raid Undercity. Of course it would be better if someone else would organize it, so all we’d have to do is show up, but eh, whatever.
It was only our “Last Ride” insofar as except for the Rogue, we all had to talk to the Rez-Lady to come back to life.

You forgot to mention you logged on with Grunman to see the glorious effects of our raid to discover 2 things:
The banker we killed respawned in approx 30 secs.
Daralan can almost one-shot Grunman (twice)
It was indeed Glorious… and quite amusing !

It gets really tiring all of you alliance characters rading Crossroads. What are you possibly gaining from it? It makes Horde life very difficult, especially us hordies that are based out the Crossroads. If you want to do PvP, the go to the Batllegrounds, and leave our NPC’s alone so we can turn in our Quests and level up as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I know it gets tiring, I play on the Horde side as well. It’s about just as annoying as playing Alliance around South Shore… What we get out of it — and the Horde does as well — is annoying the other faction, who is the enemy after all, and Honor points. Those can be gathered in PvP anywhere.
Also, it’s fun.
