Old Hillsbrad

Hi, my idea of this is to add a unique outdoor pvp zone to make it more interesting than doing BGs wich is being a lil boring to do always the same stuff. the idea consist in making Southshore an ally base and Tarren Mill a horde base, and if people are interested theres could be guards and a boss that can drop a random piece of s4 or swp but only 2 items per drop, and boss respawn could be like per 6 hours or 12, or 1 day. or instead of that... create unique quests for killing certain ammount of guards, or the boss itself for a reward of 5-10 BoJs or 3k Honor Points, so what you guys think? I want to know all yours opinions and ideas that you could share to improve this one :)

Luntic approves!

Aluore approves too!

However 2 piece S4 drop is too OP. Maybe there would be quests to kill the bosses, similar to (http://www.wowhead.com/item=21220) that would give arena points? Overall the idea to add some custom content is great though. My chief concern is that errybody will be walking around with S4 in a month.

3k Honor Points, so what you guys think?

I REALLY like this. 3k Honor is a reasonable amount, thats about how much I net in a PvP session (not a BG, but from the time I que the first BG to the time I switch back to my PvE gear :P). This part is bloody brilliant.

Ok, then i shall see what the admin thinks about this idea, hopefully he will like it aswell.

But we'd have to destroy an instance to make this possible. It seems very similar to Hyjal, just without guarded bases.

[Nathuralion]

Well, the intention is to recreate the old times in retail game-experiences, what im talking about is the daily battles that was in hillsbrad foothills ages ago, and some WoW veterans will know what im talking about.
The intention is to add a little ammount of outdoor PvP, but instead of breaking a instance, just do it in the hillsbrad foothills, and just block the borders of Arathi, Silverpine, and Alterac Mountains.

In that case, instead we should make the regular areas more lucrative to visit. Add teleport locations, etc. Only Alliance in Southshore and Horde in Tarren Mill will ever be that.

I think an important thing to consider is that we're not retail. These kinds of things were really only accomplished by having a large server, as retails ones did, with a diverse community of all different player levels. Of many which included those leveling in those regions, accompanied by high levels coming in and causing much of the PvP to happen.

Forcing level 70s to go there would simply be another Hyjal, only more spread out and not so restricted. But the guards will not function as base guards since they are level ~45. This zone will simply become a corpse-camping area ruled by the higher populated faction.

But so is Hyjal, It's a camping ground for the higher pop. Yet is exists and although it takes a decent 5 man party + the opposite faction not jumping in to actually kill the general it sounds like another diversre approach to world PvP which in the end i think tops BG PvP any day.

Maybe even add a set of loot into the general?

^this

& about the s4 parts , NO just no , basicly because alot of players donated for this , and i know you donate for the server not for the gear , but really . do you want a 100000x topics about people ragin at the fact that s4 would be available for free?
2k arena rating and 5 dollars are good enough as it is ,would be nice if the server atleast made some profit out of it then nothing... So in otherwords you would be killing the server .
although i like the idea of faction based malls with a battlezone in between i dont think this will work on the server . ppl are accustomed to the things as they are now ,
i definitly agree with the fact that horde and alliance needs to be split up ,but same goes for the chat as people are always QQin about how horde sucks or how alliance are kids etc,
