Having just had our FIRST (Horde) FCM option from Ravencrest in it's nearly eight year history - while seeing the alliance having a near permanent FCM during the last three expansions opening months it struck me;
Why is there never a PvP > PvE option for PvP realms?
Having spent seven and a half year on Ravencrest, being the underdog first out manned by 3:1 ratio up until WotLK, a number which have since then exploded because of Horde guilds leaving because of a notorious stability/queue record once strained during peak hours/new content and the fact that Blizzard have never stopped migrating here (and there's been a metric ton worth of alliance migrating here due RCs rank on most PvE progress lists and it's status as an (English) alliance heavy realm.
I rolled PvP for a reason, and I still enjoy (fair) PvP - when these rare 2v2 encounters actually happen.
But having seen less and less of this, and more and more of 1:6+ encounters is really getting old and I want to enjoy the few hours that my schedule allows me to play while not in ghost form.
Yes I could pay myself from the above, but my entire WoW life is situated on Ravencrest and I really do not want to spend 200,- Euro to transfer my character park to a PvE realm :(
I would have been one of the first off the four hour queue train when we finally got our FCM (again, did I mention that this was Hordes FIRST EVER?!) a week ago, but sadly the only three options we were given were three Horde heavy (low- to medium pop) PvP realms.
So Blizzard, any chance in allowing/giving your (all to few) the option to switch realm type when given a FCM-offer?
Our FCM on Ravencrest last until the 10th of October, I'll keep updating the sticky thread to see if we're given one - and a response here from people with the same mind set and opposites alike would be nice.
A lot of us have played WoW for a loooong time, and certainly I can not be the only one that over these seven years have changed how I play WoW - and really don't need World PvP as an adrenaline kick?!
Megaera,
Old (!) WoW gamer that would really like a change of venues from Ghost Form :(
