Strand was my favorite BG, and my friends, too. We often lament its loss.
Many a night spent sailing in on those boats trying to take the beachheads.
It should definitely return as an epic BG, IMO. At the very least a brawl. But I’dI’ve to see it’s glorious return.
I know it was the most blacklisted (I personally always blacklisted old-school panda cart escort, and that alone) but it was my favorite.
