It would be fun if they brought back a real pvp server and gave some sweet rewards for killing the alliance king or horde chief. Maybe buff them a little so you need a group of at least 15 or so to be able to kill them. But how fun would that be. Nice mounts or possible pvp gear drop. I would do it every week. And maybe even a a buff if your leader isn’t killed for a certain amount of days. Horde vs alliance would be back.
Cool. Thanks for clarifying.
War mode is really just watered down version of a pvp server. It doesn’t really work the same for world pvp

Agree, also I agree.
“PvPers are trash because they make me feel trash because I’m trash at PvP.” It’s how we all started. Stop putting your ego into a video game. Just play.
Right, just let people play the game the way they want to
After seeing how PvE players tried to make Plunderstorm dead on arrival, tbh we need this now more than ever.

My account got MUTED temporarily trying to speak up for pvp players. This is getting ridiculous. I’m so tired of players who choose not to engage in pvp, trying to hold others back just because they don’t like it
most people dont pvp it would be a waste of resources. why have a server that will prob die in months? its not us holding you back there needs to be more of you that care rn there isnt enough

I would like pvp servers back, when horde/alliance raids invaded your town by going through/around ashran in WoD, you had to fight them if you wanted to remain in Warspear/Stormshield, you didn’t just click off pvp and hide while the rest of your faction fights.
Did that happen on live at any point? I know it never happened on MG because, y’know, Hordeside MG has been dead for years, and I know it happened in beta, but I genuinely don’t remember any Ashran group I was in ever pushing at the opponent’s city, and I did a fair bit of Ashran
Like, I remember Ashran farming and that was basically each side agreeing to flip requirements once we’ve each completed a lap so we could all get our rewards for the day
I was playing on Firetree, one of the older pvp servers and former member of Battle group Reckoning during WoD, plenty of raids going both ways back then, wpvp was most common around Ashran bases or Tanaan Jungle toward the end.
I do distinctly remember a multi boxing destruction warlock blowing me up while I was looking at the pvp vendors the moment one of the raids invaded.
it used to happen you got a mount out of it. that is all. there is no reason to raid other citys as you get nothing if you have the mount already
Oh no, I’ve done my fair share of city raids in the day, I know those happen. I was even in a guild on my warrior back in Wrath, the guild’s sole purpose being to defend Ironforge because hell knows the Stormwind regulars weren’t going to do it
But like, I genuinely haven’t seen anyone bother about raiding either Ashran city since the beta. Or caring about either one, even back in WoD they tended to be a hi and bye place. No reward for going further than the keep, it’d shunt you out from the battleground where the rewards were, and pretty much anyone playing there is just passing through from their garrison to another city, popping over at the PVP NPCs, or heading up to Ashran
Absolutely agree. Choice is always better.
Basically. The only ways I’d see this work, the players would not like.
It need to be….fresh start no transfers. Classic showed a few times fresh start doesn’t work so well.
Why fresh start. To attempt to avoid ye old level caps picking off noobs. This gives the server 2 weeks of equal play time.
And then the no life level caps come in anyway. Or the twinks. Turn off xp right before chromie kick out in case of retail.
No transfers…power level and grind gear pve, own the noobs on pvp. Why long ago wow had pve to pvp transfer denied.
Or hell allow it. But No free transfer. Even classic dropped this rule. If I wanted to own grobb horde from pve altiesh I can. Open wallet, use cc, pay to move my 5 80’s. Yeah, no.
Blizzards gamble. How many would pay to move several chars here?
Or fresh start. Like said earlier. In classic blizzard listened to the freshies. Many….did not show up when given what they asked for.
Waste of what resources? A pvp server? All they would have to do it remove the on and off war mode button, and put the sharding phasing limit to that pvp server. And there are players on here every day asking for houses lol. Yeah… “resources”
if im doing something i dont want to ill put barely any effort in it. cant force me to give 100%. remember the forced pvp for mop? you bet i hated that and i did enough to not be voted out i had ZERO interest in doing those for cloak

In a PvP server there doesn’t have to be extra “incentives”, players who enjoy pvp will naturally join it because they enjoy that type of server or gameplay

That’s what Blizzard thinks of your pvp servers.
