Talk:Old Horde

Did the reasoning for "Old Horde" to be redirected to History_of_the_Horde come from the now non-canon Horde Player's Guide or a scene in Lord of the Clans that has Orgrim Doomhammer giving leadership of what was left of it to Thrall? Is the old Horde a separate entity called the Old Horde?-- 23:12, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The capital O is just the style I chose to write the name in; if you think changing every mention to "old Horde" to improve the accuracy then that's fine. Or are you wondering if the term "Old Horde" has enough connections in official lore to have its own article? WrathOfDeathfrost (talk) 23:27, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The latter. I am fine with it, but there is a reason somewhere why they were merged. The RPG's take is non-canon, but the LotC (which I don't have and therefore should shut up about) interpretation, if correct, is still canon.-- 00:44, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * In Lord of the Clans, Thrall makes a reference to "the old Horde" when talking about how he does things differently. As far as I know, "old Horde" hasn't been used anywhere else and "Old Horde" hasn't been used at all.  The term "new Horde" has been used to differentiate Thrall's Horde from Orgrim's, and Garrosh's Horde from Thrall's, but that's like a U.S. citizen saying he's living in "a new America" when he gets a new president.  The Horde had a clear line of succession from Orgrim to Thrall to Garrosh - it's the same organization, even if its members and policies have changed over time.

 * Time of disavow this mistake: I don't believe that two such different organizations are the same thing, specially because 's statements to during A Blaze of Glory saying something like: "This Horde is not the same Horde that you fought interested in conquer and murder(...)". So, reviewing: IT'S NOT THE SAME. I Hope this ends the doubts about the clear differences between the hordes."
 * Thrall's Horde wasn't "the same Horde" Daelin fought in the sense that it had different member races, and a different leader who enforced different policies, but that doesn't make it a completely new organization. Thrall didn't build a new Horde from scratch. He was named Warchief of Doomhammer's Horde when Doomhammer died. Egrem (talk) 19:04, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The WC3 manual says that Thrall was elected to be warchief. "He succeeded in rallying his people and freeing them from the human internment camps. For his honor, optimism and courage, Thrall was unanimously elected to be the new warchief of the orcish horde." --Aquamonkeyeg (talk) 19:13, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * There was no election in Lord of the Clans. As he was dying, Orgrim Doomhammer said to Thrall, "Yours is the title of Warchief, Thrall, son of D-Durotan. You will wear my armor, and carry my hammer. [...] You know what to do. They are in your care now. I could not... have hoped for a better heir." When addressing the other orcs, Thrall said, "Orgrim Doomhammer has named me Warchief. It is a title I would not have sought, but I have no choice. I have been named, and so I will obey."

 * Warcraft III is more recent than LotC. Also, it's possible there was an election afterwards when they weren't mid-peril to re-affirm his position. --Aquamonkeyeg (talk) 21:21, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, Metzen said "...every bit as ruthless and dangerous and hateful as the original Horde from the first few games. Towards the modern times, Thrall built a very different kind of Horde..." (link) --Aquamonkeyeg (talk) 20:40, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

The UVG refers to it as the "Old Horde" with Thrall leading "a new Horde." Also, "(Old) Horde" is used in the affiliation section of certain orcs. --Aquamonkeyeg (talk) 18:52, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Asking
Can anyone add the unique icons at the side of the characters of the infobox? I have to take a shower... 23:49, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I have take my shower and could add the icons by myself... 01:18, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Alterac
I, personally, agree that this kingdom was an ally of the Horde and not a part of it. Should we remove from the list of Sec. leaders? 20:54, 18 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Yup. Xporc (talk) 21:08, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
