TB... for the last 6 years it stood proud for "Thunder Bluff"
Now, allofasudden Tol Barad arrizes. and the whole Trade channel is Bombarded with "which one ?" as soon as someone speaks of TB in a non party, raid, or PVP acknowledging syntax.
Just making a small poll

Yeah, I agree, though I don't see what is so hard about typing "Tol Barad", especially since "TB" is already taken.

Tol Borad's abbreviation is "LB", for LoL Borad

Total Biscuit :P
Unfortunately it's a situation where it will end up mostly being the one most relevant to the bulk of the server's population (This sometimes happened with people not adding the S to Warsong Gulch's abbreviation making it the same as Wintergrasp's). With Org as the new horde hub and Tol Barad being the new Wintergrasp (ha!) unless someone's asking for a service and saying they're in TB (Thunder Bluff) they likely mean Tol Barad.

yeah, I see TB and I now think of Tol Barad instead of Thunder Bluff.
Maybe we need to start referring to Thunder Bluff as "Bluff" or something else.
Blizzard, either intentionally or accidentally, has been good in the past about not having multiple significant areas in WoW having the same abbreviations.

Whenever someone talks about "TB" i always reply as if they're talking about Thunder Bluff, even if it's extremly obvious they're not, Just to make a point.

Too bad, as in too bad you fought this battle but still couldn't win due to the broken nature of the zerg circles that plague the offense.
OT: But really, I play mostly Alliance so TB=Tol Barad for me at least. Originally Posted by Tendou

Why would they make him into an outdoor PvP zone? Originally Posted by Negridoom

why isn't there a poll option for "both, depending on situation and context"?

It means both...
If someone says "LF port to TB" then it's Thunder Bluff.
If someone says "TB in 10min" then it's Tol Barad.
Don't act like an even bigger idiot than you are. Use what little brain power you have to interpret context.

Player : "who's got TB"

Me : see you can type the whole word, did that in the first place you wouldn't have a smart arse answer!!
Everyone else : LOL, PWND, Owned..
