Iroared said:I recall them mentioning that they're not predetermined against twinks, and seing as they have a great chance to revive twinking right now, I'm almost sure they will do it. Its not like it will cost them anything now...
Falkor said:3 or 4 months =/= half a year. and twinking will die down as everyone decides to lvl to 85 asap like it does for every xpac

lindenkron said:1. June,

4. September,
5. Obcotber,
6. November.
How is that in any possible way 3? I can get it to being possible 6 months, if they don't release it until end november, which is quite possible.

Falkor said:6. june <---- current month, almost half way over too
7. july one
8. august two
9. september three
10. october four
11. november five
12. december six
so if it released in october 4 months, 5 for november. personally my money is on november, although i could see them holding out till around christmas time - now THAT would be half a year. i doubt itll be december tho b/c WoW doesnt need to release around a holiday to sell a bijillion copies, and its gonna be in p1 beta soon, which means p2 then release. so, like i said i bet november at the latest. possibly october, but before that is highly unlikely imo.
so really 3.5 - 4 months is my guess, which is still less than 6 months. 6 months would be a worst case scenario imo. i guess thats worth saving 25$ to him. plus if he xfers now his twink will be isolated from his main (im assuming) but if he just waits it out he can have his twink and main together, plus save that 25$. opportunity cost methinks
Falkor said:october would be 3.5 months from now, november would be 4.5 months from now (roughly). november that is my best guess for launch. 6 months i highly doubt b/c like i said blizzard does not need a holiday/christmas launch date to move a gazillion units. sooooo 4.5 months is less than 6 ergo i win b/c i said 3-4 and 4.5 is close enough for government work
Nerf said:First of all, this "war games" idea seems awesome, however I can see boosters exploiting it for "of the Horde" titles and xp/honor, so hopefully Blizz makes these games count nothing towards "live" shit(honor,kills, etc). This being said this addition would be great, broadening the amount of people to vs in premades and not forcing competitive guilds that want the full spectrum of premading to reroll ally side which usually ends up with un-perfect twinks etc. I seriously doubt the need to organize games if this cross-bg queue system is implemented. With the diverse amount of players and time zones( I am speaking completely for US and the knowledge of asian based top end guilds) queues should be decent. Peak times will most likely be between 4-7 like usual and slow down between 3-4 am obviously. Although the player base will exponentially grow due to who have moved off of twinking to raiding to play a wsg or two on an alt instead of farming that title or running icc 10 for the umpteenth time. These alts will be past twinks that they have revamped or just new people to twinking that have ridiculous amounts of gold(due to the ezmoade of getting a shitload of gold) to dump into an expensive hobby. I for one will be doing this strategy, remaking a 19 twink, I was a bit hesitant before dropping 60 dollars to get into a guild, but it looks like I've found a new area to dump some gold into... Shaman inc. Without the need to at least drop 25 dollars if not more to get into twinking unless you are a Ruin vet the accessibility for twinking will be easy as well as having mains on servers for endless boa fun specs. Note that the community lost with the xp lock will be regained by that of the new BGs. So, this is fully my theory, but prepare for insta queues into games of 10v10 twinks instead of insta-queues with 4v4 twinks and a shit load of boring 10-12's that are just a nuisance.
Sorry for the great wall...
