Treachery on Vent: Infiltrating Enemy Tactics

Posted by pixiestixy on Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 - 23 Comments

A couple nights ago, I was running Wintergrasp on my server, Khaz Modan, and lamenting the fact that all day the Horde had been unsuccessful at capturing the contested zone. Finally in one raid group, someone offered up their ventrilo server for everyone to use so we could better coordinate our efforts. It sounded like a ... More

These updates are coming fast and 3.3’s testing phase is just flying by, isn’t it?

Why Do We Have Cross Faction Nameplates?

Posted by iTZKooPA on Thursday, September 17th, 2009 - 9 Comments

After slightly redeeming myself in raiding last night - assuming you consider Vault of Archavon raiding - I was able to participate in my first Wintergrasp in a long time.  The battle was nothing special - Alliance fell apart and lost, shocking - but my main mode of defense made me realize something.  Why the ...
