I just got back into PvP, but on my warrior. I’m waiting for the Ret Rework ™ before throwing Raynell back into the fray.
I know this is weeks old now but I was WONDERING where you all went.
Hopefully the name was remembered fondly. Then again, mostly memed in Trade chat if I wasn’t raiding… On second thought, don’t answer that. 
PvP is the Devil.
WPvP is the Devil holding a globe.
RP-PvP is the Devil wearong a Robe and a Wizard hat.

I miss warmode. My guild for this character doesn’t have a lot of PVPers so whenever we do keys I’m always hopping on a 2seater dragon then I get tossed out when we leave Valdrakken to do do content stuff. I haven’t noticed until tonight how much I’ve been slacking with the scalie poaching. 
Kind of wild how many people there are at the soup event and dragonbane keep that are unflagged.
Im still, and will be, a big advocate for adjusting the War Mode shards/priority list to go WRA, MG, ED, and then fill with the rest of the RP servers before starting a new shard. Im no big brain, have all the data available, blizz employee but I can’t imagine it would hurt anything. Also helps foster a better community among the big RP servers. ED Horde can certainly show up to help balance some of the fights.

Sharding is really bad. I miss those days of proper organized rp-pvp and guilds could build their rp reputations on this. It created rivalries, advanced character and guild story/plots.
Idk what Blizz are thinking leaving the sharding so bad.

Well part of the issue is that what helped those rivalries, at least on ED, was a combination of being permanently flagged in contested zones, having RP zones or guild ‘bases,’ World Defense existing, and just the willingness to RP with risk.
Modern sharding hasn’t exactly been the sole culprit in killing the RP-PvP culture. Unfortunately with the War Mode/No War Mode option, its kinda hard. Unless they do a revamp just for RP servers where War Mode and non-War Mode can exist together, one will just be flagged for PvP and the other not, I dont see that older style of play coming back. Make it where you can flag for War Mode anywhere, or at least any other inn, but still cant turn it off unless you enter a capital.

Hahaha … you mean [Warsong Battalion]?
I believe that is pronounced “fodder.”
you wont see it on the map, but you do see their bounty if theyre in front of you
Kid and Emmagosa are forever the guardian wizards of WRA. The Cata pvp days were a good example of how fun home realm pvp can be. It all ended when the CRZ patch hit Ashran.
That kind of community never appeared again apart from vanilla classic where ground mounts, small zones and same realm were by default.
One day maybe the devs will see the value of isolated shards, or realize the simple and effective deisgn of Tol Barad. Until then, just need to keep looking forward to the next time that the opportunity for something to grow naturally occurs.
The current system of FFA PVP quest hotspots does not really provide much good, but the Plains and especially the area around the waterfall pvp WQ has been good for action. So get on your mounts, grab a mining pick and do some farming in that zone in warmode!

I was guilded with Kid and PvPed with him when he was Horde. He was a helluva PvPer and a good kid, no pun intended.
I enjoyed server only PvP and fought in some legendary Tol Barads, but I hated the mechanics there.
