Shiny Victory Banner Video

Godzillafan67

Does anyone have a link to a video showing the shiny, shimmering Victory banner that graced MPQ for a very brief moment about 6 or 7 years ago?

Did I have a fevered dream? Was there a shiny, shimmering Victory banner that lasted for just a handful of days about 6 or 7 years ago?

Maybe -- but it sounds kinda awesome... Like the end of Star Wars, or something.

I remember it being in game for like, a day.

Thanks! Now I just wish that we had a video of it to relive its unreturned glory.

New "Victory" screen:

-The new version of the "Victory" message is being removed and may be revisited at a later date.

Are we at a later date yet? It seems like many in that thread liked the change. Of course, if the banner were instituted now, a number of users would request that it be an optional change (though if it's too flashy, then that would be a responsible setting).
