This is irrelevant to the people who post here from other servers, but how are you liking these new guys EJ? I was with a <Risen> group all morning and we had a few games against you guys. I was wondering how your queue's are and if you are enjoying the new challenges. They are certainly excitied to be here, not 2 minutes went by without someone saying "god how sweet are instant queues" or "this is the best server ever" in ventrillo.

I will need to start queueing again. :)

Between work these days and heavy raiding I don't have much time to do battlegrounds anymore, but maybe with better queue times I'll have that opportunity.

Beyond that, I'll probably just spam wave and hello emotes at the new Alliance just like I do with the old ones since I'm a giant carebear. Except these new ones might kill me when I do, I don't know!

Queues are 10 minutes or less. Pure heaven for us hordlings.

And the groups are much tougher, too. None of the pugs I was with came away with victories, though with queues these short.. organized PvP is much easier to organize.

Probably going to start seeing some rather vicious horde groups in the near future.

Yeah it seems like it'll be a real challenge. I know I've got a lot of pvp skill to regain, plus of course a respec. As fun as ravaging sitting mages is, it's a lot more fun to be the annoying druid that just doesn't die and has a seemingly endless mana pool.

I agree Beef, and I was overwhelmed with joy when one of the druids in Risen announced "Oh sweet, I can start pvping again on this server, time to spec resto" followed by the other 4 healers on the team (who were enjoying themselves more than the Warriors and Mages) all stating "Yeah, we respeced this morning for healing as well"

Alliance having healers is a scary thought.
However, that would ultimately mean more paladins running around with 2 handers, which always seems to put a smile upon my face.

<Ret> is loving this server. Conando is pro shaman in AB right now. Seems like all your guys I've run into are quality PvPers. Looking forward to it.

An easy mistake to make

I'll show you a 2 hander! or not.
I'm wondering how the newly added alliance will do to our eco and the recent lag weve been getting in instances. on a side note it sounds like everyone is getting their second wind for pvp. when i get back in town well see how it goes.

You idiot

You guys are comedy kings

Absolutely loving these fast queues. Hope to get a group together after Naxx tonight or some time in the near future to actually give you guys some competition!

PS - fuck paladins that heal, i am rerolling

I will start avoiding pug queues even more.

10 minutes? fast? Anything over 30 seconds is damn slow :o

(don't ban me for too long!)

Transfers do need to slow down through. Our queue times are still decreasing, and if this keeps up, Alliance will start having queues.

While that's still sweet for us horde, I'd hate to see a bunch of people move over here to avoid queues only to make new ones.

Very true. One reason why i liked this server was because alliance were a great under dog from the get go. Even though sometimes some horde piss off people it was alway great to kick their ass with a smaller group then theirs and see them bring twice as many horde to help them out.

I wonder out of these new transfers, if there are some alliance mages that are as bored as some of those horde mages that like to camp people at CH and LHC by using their trinkets and standing in a "guards can get me becuase im range damage" zones.

I really wish i could get online right now to actually see how many people transfered over.

I get excited when my warrior's queues drop to 45 minutes.

My druid, on the other hand, has instant queues. But.. it's a druid...

:(

(please don't hurt me beef?)

i'm not sure about the BG's or the queues, though guildmates have said it is almost insta queue, even int he morning. as for new players, as far as i can tell arcanis (alliance druid) enjoys corpse camping low and mid 30s in stv but will run away when an even level player shows up.

guys i found a player who likes to gank in stranglethorn breaking news

Must be a Mal'ganis thing, I never heard of anyone ever getting ganked in STV on any of the other PvP servers. Not once.

Good lord. Three AVs up, instant queues, but as near as I can tell they're all entirely populated by Ret members. It was bad enough when there were a couple people who realized that healing warriors was a good idea...this is just a one-sided gang-rape.
