Around Azeroth: Approaching Orgrimmar

Reader James sent in this charming shot of the gates of Orgrimmar. For the Horde player, these towering gates represent security and all the comforts of a major city. For the Alliance player, the gates are an ominous threat -- with an unknown number of enemies lurking within. So what, I wonder, do these gates represent to you?

Lag (noun) - a long spike in network latency or computer processing ability due to, most frequently, a temporary glich in communications or a torrent of information needing to be processed that far exceeds the system's capabilty to deal with in a timely manner. See STORMWIND.

Aaaah Orgrimmar. To me Orgrimmar has special meaning. My first character was an orc Shaman and I still remember what that city represented for me then. First there was the awe, it is majestic. Then, it became home for my Shaman. I remember everytime I would come back after a long journey I would think : Sweet Orgrimmar... That city was what really immersed me into the world of Azeroth. I dont have the same warm memories of Stormwind.

It's where all the noobs sit outside and duel whenever the PTR comes up with a pre-made 60 option.

Gold.
My first character was an undead warlock. Everything I got I had been vendoring or sending to guildies. The first time I hit Orgrimmar I AH'd off a bunch of stuff, and found myself swimming in gold like Scrooge McDuck.
