Cross-server battleground

Hello,

Would it be possible to have server battleground and not cross-server ?

Wow classic was supposed to be about the community you and your character would grow-up with. Right now you just tag with unkown player that you will never see again, most of them wont speak the same langage as you.

You will never meet players in BG, make friends or ennemy on your server.

Where is the ‘’ community of classic wow’’ in this ?

Not to mention all the semi AFK people who you can never punish by community on the server since they are not from your server…

It will only encourage those people to do it even more without any penalty!

I couldn’t agree more,
The whole concept of classic was the community of each server to be closed. Know your enemies and create rivalries through Wpvp and BGs.

1.12 Patch . It is #authentic experience and #pure Vanilla.

Cross realm did exist back in 1.12 patch and should be that way. Work as intended due to unbalanced servers. There should be only additional feature to kick these who afk and not get rewards ,that’s all.

Funny how they can use the ‘but it’s 1.12’ excuse when they want to, yet much of Classic wasn’t part of 1.12 at all.

Because right now it is 1.13.3 Patch. And not earlier than 1.12 < .

OK but did ranking existed in 1.12 patch?

yes , ranking did exist in 1.12 patch. Ranking is server related , while x-realm bg’s are multiple servers related.

So you basically race against your server with Honor and Ranks , while you play against other servers.

Im sorry but ranks were abolished in 1.12 patch pretbc, instead you would buy items with honor

That was 2.0.1 Patch and not 1.12 patch.

PvP

  • Honor System Revamp
    • Current honor totals have been reset.
    • Players may display their highest lifetime rank title (accessible from character sheet).
    • Honor points earned each day may now be spent as a form of currency.
    • Check the PvP tab of your character sheet to see your honor information.
    • PvP rewards are no longer unique.
  • Marks of Honor earned from battlegrounds are no longer turned in for reputation or honor. They are now used in addition to honor points in order to purchase rewards.

Honor changes were done in 2.0.1 Patch , not in 1.12…

If you scroll back to last weeks forum posts they were mainly complaints about faction imbalance on PvP servers making the game unplayable for the minority - mainly Alliance - and posts about how Horde would be queueing for hours to get into a BG

A few brave souls made the observation that the queue would most likely just lump all servers - PvE and PvP together - to balance the queue

It’s the line of least resistance for Blizz - as it gives the shortest possible queue time

I’m sure they hope it will also take some pressure off minority factions by reducing WPvP - at least whilst try hards are spamming rep and honour

Even in Vanilla queues were across battlegroups not single server

Release (US) 5 December 2006

so it was still in vanila tho

Do you even read yourself ?

2.0.1 Patch was TBC Beta Patch and it was released in December with changes to the Honor removing Ranking.

So Ranks was Vanilla 1.12 Patch with Cross Realm included.

yea for whole month or two, like 2 years prior to that didnt exist at all

This is 1.13.3 Patch , which mean continuation from 1.12.2 Patch from where Vanilla stop to exist.

This is classic, not a continuation from vanilla otherwise gates of aq would be open etc.

In this phase there was no battlegroups etc. No battlemasters for queues. It is sad most of you don’t know where the bg entrances are.
