WoW Moviewatch: Alliance Recruitment PSA

I'd like to say this video stirs Alliance pride, but I think it ends up feeling more like a parody of those old World War II recruitment ads. That's probably part of the point, though. It was interesting seeing the old Alliance armor and PvP gear making a comeback. All in all, this public service announcement is a lot of fun to watch.
Ultimately, I was pretty excited to see an Alliance-themed video. For better or for worse, most machinima definitely has a strong Horde bent. Seeing Varian's team get a little love was nice.
Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an email at moviewatch@wowinsider.com.Filed under: WoW Moviewatch

Will that do as a battlecry?
Gossamer Nov 17th 2011 1:20PM

I've always liked " Glory to the Alliance"

You've had five years to come up with a catchy battle cry.
Seriously. Five freaking years.
It's just not going to happen.

How about "Honor and Victory!"
Glory to the Alliance!
RetPallyJil Nov 17th 2011 4:58PM
Eh, screw the Alliance. My war cry is FOR LORDAERON!

"For the Lion!" kinda has a nice ring to it, but it's a bit too similar to "For the Horde!"
How about "Lion's Pride!" or something.

I agree. And I didn't even get free cupcakes to agree with you! :)
Altruis Nov 17th 2011 2:40PM
I agree, it's nice to see te alliance get some love in this department !
Ominous Nov 17th 2011 12:15PM
Same as the above.
To the point.
The style reminded me of the recruiting videos in Starship Troopers
(except the bit about free ale)!

Not sure about WWII but it does remind me of the commercial used in Starship Troopers.

"Service guarantees citizenship! Would you like to know more?"

Ah Alliance, if this is what you have to stoop to in order to get people to play you, your days are truly numbered.
Lok'tar ogar! Victory or death - it is these words that bind me to the Horde. For they are the most sacred and fundamental of truths to any warrior of the Horde.
From this moment until the end of days I live and die - For the Horde!

The Alliance IS doomed.
Haven't you been playing Cataclysm?
:-)

The horde becoming flooded with dorks like yourself is why I switched to playing an Alliance toon.
Gossamer Nov 17th 2011 1:25PM
For the Lion!!
Dreyja Nov 17th 2011 2:41PM
I'm embarrassed for you. /facepalm
