RIP Aerie Peak Horde

you do raise some valid points, however a smaller community is easier to train teach and help. i feel AP would require treading water for months and months to make even the slightest difference, but mostly i like the small group, skype required part. i enjoy the added coordination and convenience it adds to the game and with a *relatively* small community, at least a first, it would be possible to have the whole channel in calls without it being crowded.

if a group is started WITH THE SPECIFIC INTENTION of not including everybody, then its a players own fault for rolling there if uninvited.

i enjoy the "cliques" and groups of preferred players ive formed on AP ally recently

The biggest problem I see with starting a new community somewhere is how people join it in the first place. Whoever is going to start this new community is more than likely only going to be bringing people they know are skilled, can gear properly, etc. It doesn't matter that small communities are easier to train/teach/help because you won't have to unless you're advertising the community, which is exactly the opposite of what most people intend to do when they want to stay small. I remember the paranoia I caused one day when I decided to roll a toon on Coilfang (for those who know what I'm talking about). One day somebody will stumble across your treehouse in the woods, and it's up to you to drop the ladder or not.
 
had a run in with coilfang myself one time, i was rejected for no particular reason and gave up on that
 
To be honest i havent played in like 6-8 months. It seems like all the old players from ap have quit. whatever happened to shift and deadvulcano? yde? i remember acai used to bonk everyone on his/her pally. I dont even hear about kale anymore. Even most of the players i used to play with from mg have quit, which sucks. I guess theres only so much you can do on a trial account before you get bored, and move on.
 
Honestly, the people who believe that you should never GY farm, you should play what you like and not what is "best," you shouldn't crutch on 24s, shouldn't badmouth new players, etc. should consider just rolling on BWL or servers like it (MG and Vashj come to mind, though my experience there is limited so I can't say for certain). Almost everyone on BWL came from a different server with established characters but never looked back because the community on BWL is worth more than any rare drops or difficult feats acquired on old characters (or whatever else it is that hooks you in).

After all... yolo.
 
I left Aeriepeak on both horde and alliance. It's very unsocial and lacks the willingness to invite players and form a premade. Something that isnt really a problem on my home-server. Aeriepeak is full of unreliable, self-centered players that do things on their own, rather than with friends.. Im not talking about everyone on the server, but I've experienced First-hand how much of a drag the server is...

i went through this myself when i left for about 8 months. on my return harusol, acia(who i only beat in a duel once on ym mage), deadvulcano, shft, brov, verh, Miindy, sliceyall, chaos, budson, numb, and countless other friends and companions in the gultch had simply dissapeared. after i while i discovered sliceyall brov still get on, and even miindy every now and then, and im also making new friends. granted its just sad feeling like the roots are gone and u have to start over with a ton of people who dont even know who you are, but its not so bad, theres always friendly and skilled players to be found somewhere, even if not on AP
 
I too have noticed a shift in the AP community, and a shift that I wouldn't consider 'good.' But shit happens and things change.. I'm glad that this bracket is still alive and bustling on AP (mostly for Horde), but keeping 24s out should still be a golden rule. However, reality dictates that either side loves having 24s because it gives them the winning edge. Hate it when the enemy has them; love it when you have them. ;)

I say just keep 24s out of the F2Ptwink chat and premades. That's the only measure of preventing that we have.
 
i raided p2p from '05 to '09 and eventually got bored (nothing ever matched 40-man mc in dungeon blues back in vanilla days). i took a break and started playing again with the release of f2p. i originally played xp-off 10's, 14's, and 19's on my f2p accounts on servers where i had friends. i started lurking the twinkinfo forum, rolled a couple 20's on AP, and eventually made an account here in the summer of '07.

while i got to be pretty good friends with yasueh, i quit playing on AP because i couldn't take all the drama, elitism, animosity, and in-crowd behavior. the crowd today is WAY friendlier than in the "good old days". before yasueh finalized f2pi, it was impossible for newer players to get into a group, if you weren't part of a clique. i play both alli and horde on ap and really prefer the current players to the stuck up jerkwads who were around a year and a half ago.

recently, i was in ONE game during wsg cta where my alli team was farming horde gy and i said in chat that it was lame. the group responded that they were doing it to lock down a multi-botting 24 player. i have not personally seen "bad manners" playstyle being the problem that it used to be.

if you get sick of people on ap, just go roll a toon somewhere else, duh! i leveled 2 new 20's in a single weekend, geared the alli in a few hours and the horde in a week. come back to ap in 6 months and it will be a different group of players. i just started my hunter on ap horde and expect to have 3 boa within a month and a half with cta and dmf. i maxed all the professions in a weekend. don't be afraid to roll new toons.

call other players on bad behavior. don't do premades with 24's. be a good player and be a good example. bad players will take any shortcut they find, but you don't need them. good players will learn good behavior and they are the ones who's respect you care about.

oh man, it's a good thing you weren't around when me and the boys queued up with 24s and just straight farmed alliance WSG graveyard until the timer ran out

actually i think we got a couple of butthurt forum posts back in the day; you can probably find them with a forum search or something
 
or when we all got on our alliance hunters and camped horde gy until they literally all AFK'd out of the battleground
 
This is AP related and since alot of stuff has been discussed I'm just gonna ask this.

How come all this came up over a 24 yet logicbomb has been around for along time and I have seen some well known f2ps from AP H q with him MULTIPLE times? Also humantrafkr who has recenently moved to bwl to gy farm with their premades over there but he used to q with trials as well and he was a gy farming p2p 20. I'd rather some new 24 prot war just trying to form some premades who might be nice or objective based WAY more then some emoting gy farming afking 24 druid.. Jw what the reason for logic being fairplay but this prot war not being :confused:
