A High Warlord player I spoke with last night says it's a game they play in hopes that you'll accidentally flag and then be ganked back to Hell and back. I guess some of them get their kicks that way. It's that or Hanna Montana was a re-run. With our server's awful lag in the new area, I really don't see how you could PvP even if you wanted too! Doing the bombing quest is like being behind a 90 y/o on the Interstate. :-0 <em>Coldness's last blog post..<a href='http://thetrollhunter.blogspot.com/2008/04/decisions-decisions.html' rel="nofollow">Decisions, decisions?</a></em> Same on Earthen Ring, where supposedly it’s 62% Horde, but when you arrive at Sunwell it’s 98% Alliance with 97% of them being flagged.

I been killing alliance since game release! If open beta pvp counts then add some change~! Detheroc is definitely a pvp server and I love it. Mind you however...I ONLY engage combat with lvl 70s. I don't kill anyone below 70. It's just too easy. I don't believe in low lvl ganking and griefing, never understood that. Keep up the good posts. <3 ur blog. Aye!

I see the odd flagged person here and there, but its so rare I have not noticed if it is usually Horde or Alliance. That's the way I prefer it - if I had wanted to PvP all the time I would have rolled on a PvP server. <em>Dinaer's last blog post..<a href='http://foreveranoob.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/alt-report-running-without-a-threat-meter/' rel="nofollow">Alt report: Running without a threat meter</a></em> On my Normal server (which is Horde-heavy) there is no PvP at all in the new zones.

I'm going to guess your server is Alliance-heavy? As for hating PvP: I used to be like you. Then I got infected with the BG bug. @Maitilde: Now that’s interesting.

I'm horde and it seems like there are always alliance flagged. Now, I hate PvP. I hate it with the passion of a thousand fiery hells, but what I hate even more is tabbing for a target and accidentally hitting someone flagged. Can't we all just play nice on the PvE servers? No fighting, just peace and pretty daisies. Please and thank you. :) I’ve noticed the exact opposite on my server. I’m horde and it seems like there are always alliance flagged. Now, I hate PvP.

I like to pvp. Therefor every chance I get I try to take atleast 2 to 3 (never over 3) players at a time. Ofcourse I do my sunwell dailies while I gank. Oh btw I'm horde. :) Maybe it's this mentality that holds us back from keeping the peace. I guess we horde are just too territorial. <em>Dankh on Detheroc's last blog post..<a href='http://poexone.blogspot.com/2008/03/configuring-broadcom-2045a-bluetooth.html' rel="nofollow">Configuring the Broadcom 2045A Bluetooth Dongle in Windows</a></em> I usually am the one who initiates combat.
