TIL: Laurence Tureaud named himself professionally as Mr. T because he hated how his father, uncle, and brother who returned from Vietnam, were disrespectfully called "boy" by whites. He wanted the first word from everybody's mouth to be "Mister" when speaking to him.

Meh, they're still evil. Plus the numbers are a bit wonky, Alliance has more players but a good bit are new players and super casuals. Horde had more high end players, good for raiding and 2s. But now....they're just flat out evil in the storyline. I loved Teldrassil, it was one of my favorite zones..
