World PvP?

Post by AmonAmarth »

I'm pretty new to the server and noticed it doesn't have any world pvp besides Azshara Crater which is only really active when the portal is up. Now I'm not really sure if you guys have any plans for some wpvp or making a permanent portal to Azshara Crater, but I think it would be a good idea since I'm sure most people get a little bored of doing BGs and dueling in front of the Stormwind and Org. Other than that, that's really it I'd like to see what some other people think!

We used to have a world pvp zone called Hyjal that had the same basic principles as Azshara Crater, I kind of wish that Azshara and Hyjal would alternate. It seems a waste to throw away such a cool zone. I believe they're also working on a neutral duel zone which should up the fun a bit.

A neutral duel zone would be pretty cool! I'm sure a lot of people would definitely enjoy that! But I'd definitely like to see a permanent wpvp area so people don't get bored of doing bgs and when no one is on you could go there and find some people to kill. :P

Get used to such disappointment, if you keep on playing here. The majority of the server are moronic imbeciles who have no idea of how PvP should be actually done.
There are simple unwritten rules, ethics, if you want.
Most people here ignore their existence.

Tell me this, is there anything you think we could do to promote world pvp? Random portals to zones? The problem is that back in the day world pvp happened when people were doing dailies, or outside instances. Those two things do not really exist on private servers, so we would need a different incentive.

One day I would love to make a free for all pvp zone with a group cap of 2/3/5 players.

I've had chats with Henhouse on how to improve world pvp, there's quite a lot that can be done.

With varying gear, levels, etc., etc. There is none of that on a funserver -- you just can't replicate it. A lot of people also forgot it resulted in usually getting ganked/corpse camped, and having to run all the way back from the graveyard. I think they're only nostalgic about specific parts.

Yeah I see what you guys are saying, I definitely understand how this can be a complication. If only there was a way to have wpvp, while keeping things fun and balanced. I had an idea, but it would be similar to an Alterac Valley type scenario, with Horde and Alliance having bases with guards and finally a boss that gave honor/BoJ etc... Just trying to throw some ideas out there and try to appeal to everyone, cause some people don't like wpvp and might prefer dueling so the the neutral duel area would be a cool idea! :P

exactly only ppl who really enjoyed world pvp was higher level ppls with flying mounts and rogues like myself who could corpse camp a clothie lower level than me xD azshara is close it gets and thats not really that populated so why try to fix it if its fine as it is :)

Neutral Duel Area is the BZT IDEA :) IVe pushed so hard for it :)
