World PVP, ah, those were the days

Today is one of the rare times that I deviate away from gold making and talk about another subject in WoW. I was digging through my archive of screenshots on my PC and I found one from about a year ago that brought back some great memories of world PVP.

The screenshot above is an image of myself and my guildies where we had just killed everyone with a pvp tag in Ironforge. Years ago our realm was alliance heavy but things have changed, there is hardly anyone on alliance anymore. So we did the right thing by showing up at 9pm to represent!

For someone like myself who has loved world pvp I have been slightly unhappy the direction WoW has taken away from World PVP over the years even though there was some half hearted attempts to bring that back in WOTLK. I hope there is some new world pvp areas in Cataclysm but probably it will be as lackluster as wrath.

Wintersgrasp is a cool zone but it still has that battleground feel, I guess nothing beats an epic fight at a town or the feeling that you pissed off the whole area and they have to call for help. Then seeing 20 level cap players fly into a zone all at about the same time to defend our attack. That was the days. I love nothing more than this scenario where you are only fighting for pride, fun, and maybe because you enjoy frustrating other players. No rewards either, just good ol' pvp.
