Phase 1 is no honor system at ALL.

Phase 2 will include the 1.4 and 1.5 honor system.

That was the goal of what was written. :slight_smile:

Bornakk must have been the original creator of the Carrot on a Stick.

Thanks for the clarification, Bornakk, and thanks for the reading, Eaglesgift. :bulb: :open_book: :exploding_head:

I always lovingly called it sandlol. In fact I created a character named Sandlol, and it was promptly renamed by the staff who saw no humor in it.

You have a total of 3 BGs and decided to release one in the most broken state possible. Well done…

Hello I have a question about classic world pvp. I watch asmongold on twitch and when he makes these huge world battles the servers lag or the area hes in is super laggy. but when you watch some of these old world pvp videos these huges battles dont seem to be lagging at all? will the classic servers be able to hold up to the stress of these world battles.

562

Likely the modern architecture using sharding and CRZ only allocates a far smaller cap of resources to a given zone. I imagine Classic will require far more.

I always wonder what happens if you were to attempt a 400 player attack on an RP server major city. Since they are intentionally not CRZ’d.

563

Ya know what, I wonder how much of that concern drove Ion’s goofy statement that RP/PVP was a niche demand? He may want to avoid having to exhibit the new architecture in such a naked way. Makes me nervous that the threshold to initiate sharding might be far lower than anyone is going to want to see.

Large scale PVP could still occur, but likely without as much fervor as on a PVP realm.

I very much doubt he was thinking “We need to make sure this strong PVP RP situation need to be squashed”.

I was more thinking it would actually be smoother.

565

I suspect he might have been thinking - ‘hmmm RP realms don’t shard, maybe we should discourage PVP there?’

If this forum microcosm is any indicator - RP/PVP would be quite popular.

These virtual servers and cloud enabled processes might not have the brute punch of the old hardware dedicated servers.

566

The problem is voice vs subs. I fear the voice is far more significant than the subs here.

567

Good point. I’ve never paid attention to RP. Assumed it was all niche. That said, I doubt at the time Ion said it that there had been too very much done assessing present Classic demand. His remark was so flippant it made me think he had either ulterior motive or just more blindness to the real WoW customer desires.

Na, I remember running in a PVP group and basically getting to rank 13. Took about 4-5 months of pvp 6-10 hours a day. I’d like to add that we hardly ever lost any games. That all depends on your server though and competition I believe. Can’t say I did that grind on multiple servers

There is just nothing good about dishonorable kills.
Too much of a penalty. Shared among the group.
It kills pvp groups, causes people to disband groups.
The penalty is very severe.
It is just an all around bad thing.
