Comments on: ZOMG, I just got Ganked… http://www.gitrknowswow.com/2007/11/30/zomg-i-just-got-ganked/ Unlike your other World of Warcraft blogs. Quality over quantity, and a terrific community.

Getting ganked is a daily occurence it seems regardless of your lvl. Outside of astraanar i killed 3 horde (middle 20s) within a 10 min timespan! I was lucky I guess. After that I encountered a lvl 31 Warlock this chick kept casting fear on me and ended up killing 3 times in probably a 10 min time span LOL! After that fiasco i was trying to go to southshore through auberdeen via the flight from menethial harbor. A horde ?? druid was camped on the boat. He killed everyone on the boat multiple times. I figured he would get tired and leave but he was relentless he killed me back to back 5 times. I could manage to get a hit off and do some damage but he could take me in about two or three hits. When I finally got to southshore WWIII broke out a lvl 70 horde guy was killed by a lvl 65 guy backed by a healer. After the lvl 70 got his ass handed to him he came back with 4 other lvl 70s or ?? and they killed every living thing in the town even the gyphons! Needless to say PVP servers can make it hard to lvl in some cases. I always seemed to get attacked by the horde when i'm fighting an animal in the woods. Occasionally you have your fair fights but the majority of the time whenever a battle is going on someone has the advantage over another. Mages man those guys are deadly. When they hit you with the fear what can you do LOL. After all that I experienced with the horde i generally will kill them on sight. When i'm lvl 70 i will attack their towns just like they do us...

Got him to 24 so far and have been ganked all over the place. the only one that really torked me off was a ?? in satyrnaar that ganked all 8 of us 20s over and over and over and over for like 45 minutes. Finally my teammate and I were the only ones that kept coming back. The rest ran for the hills. Finally the ?? must have had mercy on us. She came up to me bonked me on the head, turned me into an ice cube. Then I just sat down in front of her. She stared at me for a while and then left me and my teammate to our quest. Alot of the gankers do it because they suck at pvp against their own level or because they got ganked and now are doing it to other people as a latent revenge. Generally I will only pvp someone within 4 levels of me. Lower allys I wave at and move on. Many higher allys just ignore me. Yesterday I did see a ally my level ganking a poor low level hordie so I went and beat the snot out of him. He did not come back. PVP is just that and it includes ganking and you lose your viriginty fast. Of course I think PVP server players are much better in arenas and BGs as a result because they have to fight mobs and players their whole toon life. Rolling a blood elf on Gul’Dan.

O.o I make it harder to level for nubs for sure. :) Actually, I haven’t had a single issue leveling on a pvp server, but yeah. O.o I make it harder to level for nubs for sure. :)

I had gotten a human pally to level 51 and a mage to 25 then we switched to another pvp server (Bloodfurnace) and I'm currently at lvl 47 with my BE pally and level 15 with my BE mage. Still not too bad though, 2 guys around 50 a 25 and a 15 since thanksgiving :) Was reading my post and not entirely accurate.

I started my WoW career on lightbringer (pve) with my 70 mage and a few alts then took a 5 month hiatus from the game (i know... 5 months w/o WoW. Had family issues to deal with). Then this Thanksgiving came around and I had a long break and was sitting at the computer and said the hell with it and reactivated my account. Since I had been away for so long I decided to try something new so I made a BE pally on a pvp server. Needless to say my old main is still collecting dust on the pve server and probably won't get played again. PvP servers add a different element to the game that makes it so much more fun. All those times a rival faction member (usually hunter) would be hunting MY raptors in STV and flag them right as I was about to hit them are gone. My guild has actually dubbed Nessingways Expedition a mini BG (almost the same with SM summoning stone) because we have had some epic battles there with 15-20 of each faction facing off. Plus everything that everyone else has written is so true too :) So if you've never tried a pvp server and have always wanted to see how you would fare against that rival faction warrior that would make a rude gesture to you and then run off, definately give it shot. By the way, I didn't think lvling took any longer really and I switched factions and had to relearn the locations of EVERYTHING. I already have a 61 pally, a 25 mage and this is with work and fam getting a BUNCH of my time. PVP servers are great.
