Cross Realm BGs are soon upon us.
Some things you need to know about Argent Dawn before it starts:
As an RP server, it is customary that our players all adhere to the rules of gentlemanly conduct while fighting in the battle grounds.
This means:
1) When you come upon a player from the other side, you both first take a bow, and tell all surrounding players /no.
2) Should you chance upon a group of foes whilst alone - calmy stop, dismount, and /point at the one you want to fight. The others will back off, allowing the duel of skill to go unhindered. Our Horde players always obey this - the alliance on the other hand, being a bit chicken at times, are prone to letting a warrior shoot an arrow at one of the combatants. This is genrally frowned upon, and should be discouraged.
3) Camping Grave Yards is looked down up. You may receive a harsh scowl or three if this "tactic" is observed.
4) No one but warriors run the flag. If no warriors are present, the next best choice is expected to run - on Alliance, this will be a paladin. When he bubbles while a Horde /points him out for combat, please leave the flag where it dropped. Should it despawn and go back to base, it is expected that everyone does a "Do-over".
Horde use Shaman, but they don't go G.Wolf form, opting instead to give their opponents a good old fashioned cardio walk-a-bout thanks to timely placed grounding totems.
5) AB games - Horde are allowed to hold the Farm and the Mill, and alliance hold Mines and Stables.
Both factions meet at the blacksmith and duke it out. Last one standing caps, and then we wait for the 2k points.
So - there you have it - these are the rules we've been fighting under for over a year. We ask that you read, learn, and accept these when up against our teams.
Failure to comply will result in /spit, /chicken and the dreaded /doom. Incessantly.
As you can see, your fragile PvP server egos dare not break these rules, lest you take virtual verbal abuse to the MAXX!! See, you project into your avatars your desires of being "1337" and manly... yet...the whiplash your psyche may receive from /spit by a carebare... *shudder* well... let's just say no one on DB will pay your therapy bills.
Though a victory is rare since both Horde and Alliance much prefer meeting in the middle, sitting round the camp fire and emoting at each other for the duration of the battleground.
Alterec Valley often takes 6 weeks to complete, and in character funerals take place for all those who died, including the faction General who passed on. We then tend to have 3 official days of mourning whereby no one engages an opposing faction player in anything other than /hug and /cry.
I look forward to sharing a noggenfogger at the Lumber Mill with all you ladies and gents.
Edit: I fixed a spelling mistake, all roleplayers should strive for perfect spelling.
You've been warned.
Have a nice day now!
There are more rules actually, 42 in total I believe - but being the "nub" that I am, I don't know the rest.
I get scowled at a lot.
True story.
