Server:Auchindoun US

The North American Auchindoun server came online with the Burning Crusade on January 16, 2007 at 12:01 AM EST. It is a PvP server in the EST timezone. The server population ratio of Alliance to Horde is very unbalanced at 80, but about 1:1.5 overall. The vast majority of Horde being comprised of blood elves, which account for more than half the entire server. Because of its low population, Auchindoun is free of server queues. Battleground queues for Horde, however, are another story and can be very long.

Black Temple cleared by Reckless Ambition 12/04/07, making it the 2nd most progressed in PvE (Retaliation Battlegroup)

Auchindoun is also home of the "Outlandish Podcast" and its guild. This podcast is nearing a year old with new content being released consistently on a weekly basis. Definitely check it out for news, commentary, wacky commercials for WoW addons and parodies of songs with an Outlandish twist.

On a whole, Auchindoun is rather notorious, with both factions' Trade chats being compared to /b/ by some, although it has toned down some. Conversations typically arise in Trade chat, oftentimes regarding sensitive subjects. Players from other realms that interject and voice their opinions on the matter are usually greeted by a sarcastic "Welcome to Auchindoun." There is also a large amount of realm pride, especially among the Horde.

The troll hunter Kripparrian [1] of the guild  (recently transferred to Ysondre - as of Feb 2009) was the first player to reach Level 80 approximately 49 hours after the release of the WotLK expansion on November 13, 2008.

PvP on Auchindoun
Although the faction ratio on the server is imbalanced and favors the Horde (especially at level 85) there is still a very active PvP scene to be found on Auchindoun. The Alliance on this server often enjoy fast queues in battlegrounds and world PvP (read: ganking) happens quite often and is a fact of life for either side. Horde almost always control all world PvP objectives by default with the exception of the Terokkar towers. This is due to the towers being held for a set amount of time after capture by default. Currently both factions trade off holding Tol Barad with neither side having an edge over the other most of the time.
