Just read that story about the guy camping Menethil docks. Had to LOL, even though I initially grew up as alliance on a PvP server and always dreaded the boat ride between Menethil and Auberdine/Theramore. (Lots of people would actually camp out *on* the boats to gank alliance).

I always scoffed at how stupid it was that the alliance's main method of transportation from continent to continent all went through one town, the boats had no guards, and the guards on the docks were only L20 NPCs and a couple L35 guard NPCs, meanwhile the horde had L65 elite bruisers guarding the zeppelin towers.

Also, back then if you died on the boat and released, you'd popup alive, at the graveyard on the ORIGIN side, so you'd have to head back to the boat again. At least now, if you die on the boat, you just stay dead, and when you cross to the other continent you're alive again. You'll probably get ganked again, just stay dead til the boat docks then release and presto you're alive at the graveyard on shore.
