It seems Alliance have pissed off the Horde a little more than normal, never adhering to the “Keep off the grass” signs in Oggy and behaving in a totally inappropriate way, finally one has cracked, (although we all know he cracked a long time ago!) Recent Alliance defector Awoken has issued a call to arms on both Horde and Alliance sides for some good old fashion World PvP funnage. In his own words I present to you Awoken!
The only word that can describe my futile attempts in player versus player combat is tragic. Okay, I haven’t as of yet had a spell reflect that kills me.
Arena is a no go area. World PVP is just a severe embarrassment and I am the epitome of a carebear.
No “If it’s red it’s dead” mantra with me. Don’t get me wrong I get tempted even though I am slightly against the principle of ganking baby levels, but most of the time I just let them get on with it, the biggest reason being that they may actually have a chance to annihilate me. Yes I am that bad and if you’re over, say, 65, you may get the oppurtunity to boast in /g “Just pwned a noob level 80 lock.”
I still love the odd forays into battlegrounds. Indeed I am a sucker for punishment, at least here I can hide behind the masses and happily dot anything that’s red and moves. That is until that one player finds me and when that player finds me I become the big “get your honour here” special.
It’s the festive season, a time of goodwill and friendship. A time of giving and receiving, and all the joy of spending time with those you love.
Alternatively, a time of free chocolate and some PvP.
If you’ve run far too much Wintergrasp and whatever in hell the battleground is this weekend, and you’re looking for a change, why not turn your attention to the relatively little-pursued Gurubashi Arena Grand Master achievement! It ticks all the right boxes. Killing? Check. Standing about tensely hoping someone else doesn’t kill you? Check. Torturous timed events that you miss at your own peril? Check. What more could you want from your Christmas holiday?
Let’s get cracking. Cracking. Like a Christmas CRACKer. See what I did there.
A very interesting forum post cropped up this week asking about the ye olde days of our little realm.
It’s nice to see that people obviously remember who gets what server first, or who is a PvP god, for years after the actual event.
Personally, I joined WoW too late to hit 60 before TBC hit and was pretty much out of the loop (as we all know, when you join it’s more about “OMG I’m riding a kitty!” than “Oh I wonder which raiding guilds are the best”). During the first expansion, since I was now running a guild, I did a much better job of keeping up to date with what was going on. However, nobody can really argue that Scarab Lord, or being the most progressed guild in Naxx 1.0 is not more impressive than a server first Kara clear.
