I’ve been meaning to write a post of my impressions of raising a character on a PvP server. This is not that post. That post will be filled with rage and anger and general malaise as to the nature of a WoW PvP server. This is a post that is happy and joyous. Well. As much so as I ever am.
I was hanging out in Thunder Bluff with my newest toon, Yriani, a few weeks ago. Doing my usual business, running errands, selling and buying, you know the drill. When I read the news that TB was under attack, I didn’t think much of it. Until I ran by and saw the scope of it all. Wow.
They were taking over. They even had some people fishing in our very own fishing hole. That’s just wrong. I ran as quickly as possible to my class trainer so as to make sure I got there before he was killed in the mayhem. I took these pictures and got out of the warzone as quickly as possible. It was cool to see so many people banding together to do something, though. I was quite impressed. And I liked it all even better because they couldn’t kill me in their invasion unless I wanted them to, since I was in Horde territory and not flagged for PvP. And definitely intending to stay that way as long as possible.

Had one of those in Ori a little while back while I was logged on my priest - they ran in and mobbed the Hall of Honor. It was loads of fun; tons of people came to support, I was throwing heals and rezzes like there was no tomorrow, and it was generally like what I’d imagine PvP in AV is *supposed* to be (balanced and close).
Every time I’ve seen the Horde try to arrange something like that, it’s fallen over after an hour or two of whimpering. I wonder if it’s because the allies have more people, or have more world PvPers? Who knows…
