If you’ve been playing World of Warcraft since 2005, you’ll probably remember the Druid player Alamo, who has attracted a lot of attention for his funny guides to the class. Ahead of the launch of WoW Classic, we present you the most popular of them – enjoy!
Alamo is a Tauren Druid in the Lobster Brood guild on the Thunderhorn server who once made it to prominence with his post “Alamo teechs u 2 play DURID!” on the official World of Warcraft forums. His “guide” bristles with poorly edited MS Paint images, terrible (English) spelling, and humor. However, in an interview with the player behind Alamo, it turned out that he has a perfect command of the English language and that the guide is a parody. Since then, his guide and his person, though not as famous as Leeroy Jenkins, have become inseparable from the catchphrase “Cat Durid is 4 fite!”.
Blizzard has paid tribute to Alamo on several occasions. On the Burning Crusade druid spells page, the last three screenshots show a male Tauren druid in dreamwalker gear whose name is Alamo. In addition, Alamo was featured in the World of Warcraft trading card game “Drums of War” as an ally of the Horde. Alamo is also mentioned in April Fools’ Day 2009, where the Dance Battle System is introduced.
Below you can read Alamo’s first Druid Guide, the original of which can still be found in the Wayback Machine here, among other places. If you’re interested and want to read more, check out Alamo’s page on Wowpedia. There you’ll also find copies of his two guides to Burning Crusade and Cataclysm below. Have fun reading them!
