World of Warcraft

Alliance raids lead by Swifty destroyed at the gates of Orgrimmar! For too long have the Darkspear Horde been made to suffer under the yoke of Alliance oppression! Despite the overwhelming population advantage of the Alliance Ruin Gaming and our allies have achieved a major victory over Alliance armies lead by Swifty.

Across Draenor’s savage jungles and battle-scarred plains, Azeroth’s heroes will engage in a mythic conflict involving mystical draenei champions and mighty orc clans, and cross axes with the likes of Grommash Hellscream, Blackhand, and Ner’zhul at the height of their primal power. Players will need to scour this unwelcoming land in search of allies to help build a desperate defense against the old Horde’s formidable engine of conquest—or else watch their own world’s bloody, war-torn history repeat itself.

Ruin will maintain our Alliance presence on the Kil’Jaeden server, in a reduced capacity. In response to the exodus of the major Alliance progression raid and rated battle ground guilds from Kil’Jaeden there has been growing pressure to select an alternative server for Ruin.

World PvP has died off on the Kil’Jaeden server in the last several months, leaving Ruin with few adversaries and free reign over virtually undefended Horde cities. We will be joined by new and old allies alike as we take on the Alliance of Darkspear.

Legendary Cloaks, Tier 16 gear, Sky Golem mount, & more! In a compound beneath Ragefire Chasm, Garrosh has infused his followers – the ‘true Horde’ – with the pilfered essence of the Old God Y’shaarj. With the power of a primordial world-twisting force at his command, Garrosh can rebuild the Horde in his image: strong, obedient, and, most importantly, ‘pure’.

Garrosh Hellscream’s reckless thirst for power has led him to do the unthinkable: from beneath the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, he has seized the desiccated heart of an Old God to use as a tool of war, unleashing horrors upon the sacred valley. The brazen warchief has also turned against other members of the Horde to create a purely orcish force of his own. Now this “true Horde” is amassing strength within Orgrimmar’s iron ramparts. With Garrosh bent on total victory, he plans to demonstrate the potency of the true Horde by conquering not just the Alliance but the whole of Azeroth.
