Thanksgiving Day Massacre

Last night the Solo MMO Player happened to be in the Under City  when 30-40 Alliance players appeared at the gate coming from Tirisfal Glades (probably after disrupting the turkey kills there) to attack,  Unfortunately, there were a large number of Level 80 Horde players sitting at the Pilgrims Bounty tables eating in the courtyard. Once Alliance players appeared, there was a moment of quiet as all the Horde Level 80s looked at each other, then there was the first shot....

It was a massacre, with bones piled upon bones.

The Solo MMO Player even found a single Level 80 hiding in the shack next to the blimp area, trying to escape.  He ignored him and went about his solo business.

Many thanks to the Alliance geniuses who provided the Horde with entertainment last night.
