OK, so I am in Menethril Harbor, on my level 2 Dwarf, named Snipy, on Stalagg (come say hi, if you’d like).
It’s true! There’s a single rogue attacking, and five or six Alliance defending (at the moment). Wow, WPVP so hard!
Will update if the situation changes…
UPDATE:
Rogue and Druid attacking.
UPDATE II:
Two rogues, a Druid, _and a Hunter.
UPDATE III:
And a mage!
They are retreating in the water.
There are about a dozen Alliance, level 60s defending.
UPDATE IV:
The dozen or so Alliance level 60s left, and pmuch immediately after that, the 5 Horde came back, and are killing things. Or at least, they strolled through town, killing things, and then left.
A couple of them are back. The Horde numbers do not seem to be growing, but the Alliance numbers seem to be dwindling.
UPDATE V:
OK, there’s another mage, and a warrior as well!
So, that’s:
Horde
1 druid
2 rogues
1 hunter
2 mages
1 warrior
Alliance
1 hunter
3 mages
2 paladins
1 warlock
2 warriors
On the Alliance side, there is a general lack of coordination. Nobody is discussing anything in General Chat or Local Defense. A level 60 Alliance Warrior just AFKed on the docks, and was then killed.
The mages have hit me a couple of times with I’m guessing Rank 1 frost bolt, as I’m dancing on the dock, as a level 2 dwarf warrior, and it did 57 damage, which was about 60% of my health.
Conclusion
I don’t think I’ve learned anything with this exercise, other than what we already knew, that a coordinated group of either faction, can beat an uncoordinated group of equal or slightly larger size, and that I have seen nothing to indicate that I would have any particular issues leveling in Wetlands as Alliance on Stalagg.
Post-Conclusion Update
Actually, I’ve stuck around, and am chatting with some people here on Stalagg. It seems that there is some belief that free transfers lead to a lot of Alliance leaving, and the current imbalance, that seems to be here, but that the Alliance are beginning to fight back, and have better guilds, so there is a feeling of hope.
Or at least, that’s what I’m getting from the conversations.
