I'm in Love with Wintergrasp

Ahhhh Wintergrasp! Such a great pvp event. Every two and a half hours too.

Destroyable towers, walls, doors, the works. Incredible vehicles to burn down foolish hordies, a nice buff if your outnumbered. This place is damn near elite and the most epic place I have ever been.

The battle goes on for 40 minutes where your either on defense or offense. Last night, alliance was conquering! 4 Wintergrasp wins in a row so we controlled the keep. On offense you have one goal, defend the keep and its walls. There are two goblin workshops behind the walls as defensive resorts for when the horde burst into your walls. But, all the action goes on right outside the keep.

Gradually as you kill horde, you get little ranks. After 10 kills you get corporal which allows you to make a vehicle in the goblin workshop! Rank 2: 20 kills: First Leuitenant: Allows the ability to make all the vehicles of the workshop! Now, depending on your rank, you get marks. First Lt. gets 3 marks, corporal gets 2, killing a hordie(NPC or player) gets you one, and if your stupid and just sit in the keep, you get ZERO! HAW HAW HAW!

If your on offense, you start out with two workshops, no walls to defend your three towers. Your vulnerable pretty much. But if you want the keep, you have to keep going forward! CHARGE! One of the best tactics is to use four players to get to corp or first lt. to get some vehicles and hit the eastern, western, s west, s east walls. This causes the defense to scramble around in a confused blur, allowing you to at least open one part of the wall to invade and kill! On my server, there doesn't seem to be many people doing Wintergrasp, which makes me sad that I have to run around killing NPC's for 40 minutes, getting my rank up and such that way.

Dontcha think it would be epic for like... a 100 alliance to fight 100 horde in an attempt to keep the keep? =P I think so. It would be incredible. Plus the honor would be grand. 2 and a half hours is the cooldown on the fight. You get 2000 honor if you win. Do it four times and lookie there...you got 8000 honor for participating in such an epic fight. PLUS the honor you get from annihilating the horde trying to invade. You can easily get 10 grand honor a day from this. You just have to set some sort of timer to remind yourself that Wintergrasp is starting soon. Hell, log out in Wintergrasp! Do the battle, log out, go do something else productive on other characters or in real life and then log onto that character for the 40 minute battle.

I like this place because it creates a new feel to pvp for us. It makes us feel like we accomplish something when we punch down that tower or wall and cheer as we finally conquer the horde as a team! And I say defending is much more fun! Manning the turrets, blasting away at players and vehicles as they try to hit your big massive gates. It is just so amazing.

I LOVE Wintergrasp.
