Ambassadors of Truth Molten Core Video Wednesday 12th of June 2019

In an earlier life, I played World of Warcraft, almost to my ruin. I was a very dedicated player. For much of my time, I was a member of the Ambassadors of Truth, a modest raiding guild that played on the Dragonblight EU server. The video below is a sort of promotional tour of us in Molten Core back in Vanilla WoW and was created by Lancar, a mage and someone I was fiercely competitive with. Except, as a Warlock, back in vanilla... well, Warlocks kind of sucked. But anyway, when I'm feeling nostalgic for the good old days, I pull up this video and watch it. Doesn’t really make me feel any better but I do it anyway.

Hope this video plays properly - I converted it from the original 250MB AVI to a more svelte 34MB MP4.

Heh, I just noticed something I hadn't spotted before. I went from "Corporal" at the start to "Sergeant" towards the end. I don't think I got a higher rank than that (PvP was never my strong point). I do remember that we had a warrior named Xiko who got to be a Field Marshal, which I think was the top rank. Still, I'm digressing and I really can't remember the ins and outs of it, save to save that battlegrounds in vanilla could be quite fun. And could also be very very long.

    Heya!
    Not sure if you remember me, but I played a NE hunter, Chalima back in the olden days, but I got back into Wow last year after stopping sometime in Cata and I was telling my guildies about the ancient days in MC and a was amazed that this video still exists!

    It's an amazing snapshot of mid 2000 gaming, love it!

    I hope all is well.

    Chal! Ha, good to hear from you :) Yes I do remember you, although I have forgotten many others. Having a copy of this video was a bit of luck given Lancar created it. Glad I posted it, Kin found it a while back and now you too. Keeping memories alive :)

    I haven't really been back to WoW myself, each time I tried it seemed to be more and more dumbed down. And there's so many expansions now, how is someone supposed to catch up. Plus, it kinda wouldn't be the same without Brazen and the crew. I did float around in a couple of other guilds after leaving AoT but it never felt like home.

    PS: Apologies for the delay in responding, firstly I didn't get a bloody email notification for a comment being posted and secondly this damn thing doesn't support replies either. I should put in the bin and replace it with a real blogging platofmr.
