Anyone want to start a new character?

You're either really lucky or play at really good times, then.  I've never played on a PvP server in contested territory without being ganked at least once every hour.  1/3 times I'm ganked by the same person shortly after resurrecting.  I'm complaining about ganking from a personal point of view, not an objective one.  Ganking is a natural part of PvP servers -- one that I can't tolerate.

Yeah, some people can't deal with it - and that's why we have PvE servers  :P.  I enjoy "ganking" people around my level, ie: 5 levels above or below.

Well, i really just evaluated the reasons that i had for starting to play again. My reasons were because my last chars only ever got to level 20, and i hadnt seen much of the cool world scenes that i have seen in screenshots etc, i also wanted to fight those crazy ass bosses. So, i signed up on a normal server. I guess ill just make a shadow priest geared towards PvE.

You can still PvP on normal servers.  It's just much more controlled and less spontaneous.

-- an aspect I can't deal with. :). ADHD ftw.

What the hell does ADHD have to do with wanting PvP to be spontaneous?

You can still flag up on normal servers.  There are usually more than a few people of the opposing faction who are willing to participate.  You simply gain the ability to de-flag when you're questing and don't want to be bothered. :P

Edit: Furious, this happened in the five minutes I was logged in to take a screenshot in the other topic.   :P This character is in Ashenvale on the Deathwing server.

u only have 542 health?

Yeah, that's an alt I never play.  I have much more powerful characters. :p

lol, my 29 hunter has had aimed shot crits for over 600.  I see that his was only a hit, but it's still pretty funny.

I have a 19 Warrior twink with 1200 HP.  I think my Rogue and Priest both have around 3000 without buffs and they're both squishies.  Before I speced out of discipline, my priest had something like 8100 mana unbuffed.

What does twink mean? Somebody basically gives them a full set of badass armor to use at a real low level to level faster?

It varies with each MMO.  In WoW, it's a character who remains at the same level with the intention of 'farming' a PvP bracket.

I don't really see the point of being a twink now.  It's not like you can get legionnaire at 19 or anything like that anymore.

It's an ego thing.   :-\

Unless you could a long time ago (like more than a year and a half ago), I don't think this has ever been the case.  You managed to somehow see past the fun involved... :P

It can be for some people.  I had the most fun I ever had playing this game on a 40-49 twink.

Care to elaborate?  I'm not trying to be a dick or anything but I honestly can't see the fun involved.  Maybe at a higher level like 49, but personally I like my bgs to be filled with at least somewhat equal people even if it does take longer.  I say leave the unfair fights to the people trying to quest in contested territory  :P

This game is so in-depth. Every tiny aspect is either animated perfectly, or given realistic attributes - whether it be NPCs in the middle of nowhere with large amounts of verbal dialog, or rabbits leaving footprints in the snow, in Dun Morogh. It's fucking crazy. :P
