I jusr stumbled over a post inferring there will be x realm bgs . Is this true?
The part of classic I was looking most forward to was server based bgs; building a relationship with players and becoming competetive with the same names across a battlefield.
I hope Blizzard don’t do cross realm battlegrounds right away but I fear they will be lazy and claim that people will get confused if they implement them later.
Crossrealm battlegrounds were introduced during vanilla’s original run to reduce the queue times and they most certainly did that. They are confirmed for Phase 3.
x realm was fine. It only became bad when you had people from other servers on your team. Keep the teams from each server and let us battle server to server.
Again, the biggest problems in WOW retail are from the community destroying features like you pooling randoms from different servers together.
Added in June 2005, Battlegrounds existed as server-specific up until August of 2006. Meaning 13 of the 19 months of Battleground’s existence were as server-specific battlegrounds.
Say no to cross-server bgs! They completely kill the PvP community.
Yet here we are, playing patch 1.12, which also existed for only a few months. If queues are long on some servers you should expect cross realm bgs. I will not say no to them, they are of practical use. If you actually played with the original battlegroup system you would realize those same rivalries were built within the small crossrrealm network (circa BC). There’s nothing to fear from them.
