Back in BC, i had a pretty geared pvp SL/SL Lock. but i was leveling a hunter and was questing around in Arathi Highlands on him. an Alliance attacked me, we were about the same level, and i was close to winning and finishing him off when a lvl 70 hunter swooped in and 1 shot me… whatever…

but when i got back to my body to rez, they were both /sit’ing on my corpse over and over and doing all kinds of emotes. so i grabbed my lock and made my way all the way to Arathi where they were still by where my corpse was, waiting on me… well they got me… the first to get DoT’s was the low level, just so i could laugh at him till the ticks killed him. the hunter… well he wasnt very good… i didnt even need to really pop any CD’s and he didnt last very long. i made sure to sit and wait and kill them several times over, till they logged. i got back on my hunter and didnt see them again that night. :sunglasses:

Years and YEARS ago during WotLK when this was my main:
My son was trying to tame Humar the Pridelord as a hunter pet. Some hordie (which is now my main faction, I might add) kept hanging around and killing the lion every time it reappeared. Then the hordie would laugh. So I got on and put myself in PVP mode and went to a spot just over the ridge to remain unseen. I had my son (who was a lower level than the hordie) to put himself in PVP mode, which in turn prompted the hordie to go into PVP mode. As I was a higher level, I kicked that horde guy’s derriere from one end of that meadow to the other. Every time he rezzed, I was there. Took him a very very long time to finally decide resurrection sickness was going to be the only way he got out. Young son got his black lion, I got some points and great amusement.

Back when I first started to play, I was on a PVP server because that was where my friend was. I was always getting ganked (I swear there were only 20 alliance on that server). Whenever I was ganked, my friend would tell me to stay dead until he got there and then rez. Once I rezzed and the guy camping me would start to kill me, my friend would gank them. It was kind of fun to watch (revenge is indeed sweet).

Was ganked in The Hinterlands
Came on with my Fire Mage
Burned the Blood Elf over and over and eventually he just afked

27

Was questing way back in MOP. Some dude ganked me in Kun Lai.

Whatevs. Then it happened again 30 min later only this time he brought a friend. So I brought a friend.

Didn’t see him after that :baby:t2:

I only really would “go get my main” when some massive WPVP was going on, like the usual Tarren Mill vs South Shore war or something, and that was specifically to join in on the fun, not protect my lowbie character who may have gotten caught up in the crossfire. I felt like it was pretty weak for people to “go get their main” to defend their lower level characters. If the ganker makes someone do that, I think the ganker won an even bigger victory.

Back in MOP I was leveling an alt in Outlands and noticed a high level toon going around and killing NPC’s in a questing hub over and over.
I decided to get on my Blood DK who had a ridiculous amount of health at the time.
Needless to say, they gave up and left the poor questing hub alone. hehe.

I operate under a 3 strike rule.

Strike 1: Alright, you got me.
Strike 2: Hurhur, real funny.
Strike 3: Alright, game over. And I grab my priest.

While I was leveling my VE Mage (on Sargeras), as per my usual pattern I headed into Duskwood to clear out the quests there. About 1/3 of the way through, I started getting killed by a druid and a mage who were taking potshots at lowbies from rooftops and killing the quest NPCs in the town.

After trying, and failing, to turn in the few quests I had, I swapped over to this toon and brought her to the town. The pair seemed to be elsewhere (or sharded) when I got there, so I parked my flying mount over the center of town and waited. It didn’t take long for them to show up again, harassing some other lowbies. I responded by swooping in, taking out the rooftop mage first before chasing the druid to the river.

They didn’t come back that day.

I was fishing trying to get the daily fishing done in Wintergrasp on an alt. But there was a pesky rogue there that kept killing people trying to fish. I tried a couple times to kill them but it is sort of hard when you have a fishing pole equipped. And I just needed a couple fish. Most people were pretty cool and after a bit of harassment would let you finish up and move on to someone else. But no. They just killing me over and over.

Finally so frustrated at just wanting to fish I logged off and brought my main in. Who they promptly killed and danced on. So yeah…

33

Wasn’t my main but my guild. I was at crossroads back in the day as a lowbie druid. I was not PvP or on a PvP server. A hunter’s snake trap was wonky at the time and this alliance came in and set one under me and killed me. I mentioned something about it in my guild chat and didn’t think much more about it.

Until they came en masse and stomped him so bad.

I was leveling my mage in STV, and this rogue named “Fattybacon” killed me did the classic /laugh /kiss emotes. The person was 10 levels higher than me… I’m an extra type of person, think mark walberg from the other guys… I dont know why, i’ve been ganked before, but this person really did it for me. I went into over drive leveling, pulling a few all nighters at the time. I hit 60, was a frost mage, found this fatty bacon out near that old alliance low level dungeon mines something. There she was, I held no punched and blasted her. I waited, she ressed, I killed her again, and again, and again… I did this well into 45 minutes, I kept humanoid tracking food on, had free action, living action, and speed potions i bought of the AH. Eventually i got a msg ,“join my vent” from some horde toon. I joined
“WTF IS YOUR PROBLEM!!! I’M TRYING TO FARM A DEFIAS MASK AND CANT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU KEEP KILLING ME YOU JERK”. She didn’t say jerk and there were more curse words, i took advantage and responded with, i dont think those npc’s appreciate you killing them, and of course she cussed me out again. At the time blizzard had a very strict policy for pvp servers to not have a horde and alliance toon on the same server. The one time i was remotely decent in the game i told her to walk away from the conversation, well… she caught wind of my ethnicity, and had no shame to call me the n word a total of 6 times. So I reported her, lost her horde toon on our server, she got banned for a week too! Anytime i saw her after that, i spent all the time i could camping her, eventually she either quit or transferred.

Salute to you fattybacon where ever you are!

i have none of those moment as gearing up is fairly simple and my newest alt becomes the new main within a few days.

basically i’m forever on my main, no excuses for me lol

36

I always played one character before in pvp servers and when i started making alts i was already on a pve server where it did not matter.

I only remember in wotlk where there was a 58 dk and later on a lvl 70 dk i assume it was his friend trying to kill me in coldara when i was 62.

Back in wotlk, prot war had a lot of daze , silence, stun gimmick that worked in my favour but i couldn’t heal. So they would just rez back and kill before i could get my hp up and we would go back and forth for an hour…till they left. :rofl::rofl:

37

I was leveling with a girl. We quest together but not too close. At some point the girl screams for help. Some realm famous guy killed her. I attack but die. I get on my main, but still die.
Girl was not impressed.

Not so much me ‘getting my main’ moment, but I played on Zul’jin for classic, and while not a pvp server, I had a paladin friend that I would go to obscure locations with and start killing NPCs and low level players that flagged to start pvp fights.

Our favorite destination was Arathi Highlands. Odds are if Horde got the warning in defense chat, they would all rush to their mains and come to Hammerfall and we’d go at it for hours with both sides calling more and more people in.

Sometimes horde would post on the forums and be butthurt, but most of the time we would all chat after the battle about how much fun we had. Those were good times indeed.
