Ruin Dead?

This sux, no BGs are poping on Ruin anymore, wtf... how can this server not get a game going? Does anyone play anymore? 49s are fast becoming arena only...wtg Blizz, vacuumed $25 bones from me, separated my main from my twink and I still can't play... they sure no how to kill something when they want to.
 
With the 10 person rule in place, it's gotten harder for us to get BGs to pop.



Also it seems like if one side starts getting rolled, they stop queueing. Not our highest hour right now in Ruin, but we're still chugging along.
 
D: Really disapointing, my 49 never got finished, just finally got around to getting all ribsplitters (2 monkey 2 eagle, except i still needed that eagle from you tai!) ...but i guess its probably a dead cause now D:
 
Yeah it is rather disappointing. I havent seen a WSG in at least 3 days and I only queue in the evening at what use to be prime time. Not that I mind doing arena's but a little variety would be nice maybe an AB even but that is clearly pushing it.
 
We had two or three games going around 10pmish (not at the same time mind you, consecutive) Horde lost a 3-2 after being ahead 2-0, after this the queues died until 12:30am or so but I wasn't playing then so not sure how many more games were played, it sounds like from Balroy, at least 3.



PS. Great game that alliance comeback btw. ^_^
 
i think there were 4 WSG games last night. because i played 3 and there was one going on when i logged on.



afterwards, we did solo queue 5v5 and got about 4 games (which was a lot of fun).



twink activity goes up and down. the best we can do is log on, play arena when WSG isn't popping, and try to communicate. use the chat to gain visibility to who is online and use it to set up some matches.

wow thats horrible news :X i have stopped playing and im sorry, but shit when i first came over tons of ppl on. maybe ppl are just burnt out on wow or playing 80s who knows. very sad though, blizz might have got 25 bucks from alot of us, but i know that the # of ppl who have unsubbed far exceeds that 25 bucks they got from us. way to RUIN twinking blizz.
 
sometimes there's only one game in the evening, and on other nights there will be several consecutive games in a row. and arenas are always fun in between queues, like the 5s played last night. everyone solo queued 5s and we got a few games in. it was a lot of fun!



(on a side note, it's really nice having one twink of each faction; i can just hop on whichever side needs more people. plus it's a nice change of pace.)
 
you guys really should try out twinking at 70.(just don't buy wotlk)



there are games on 24/7, and you get to twink the hell out of your character, yes it sucks to be 70 but you outgear 80% of people so severe that you are like an well geared 79 most of the time.
 
Yes, no games on Ruin for the last two weeks that I've seen. Maybe its just bad timing but almost everyone in our guild has been complaining about the same thing. I think 49s are going to be arena's only soon.



It's amazing how much I'm missing playing AB too, maybe we could get an interested group to login at the same time one night, maybe Sunday at 7PM CST to see if we can get an AB going?

oh so you're one of those twinks who just wanted to 2 shot non-twinks >.>



anyway, the 5s we played were probably the most fun i've had on my twinks in a while. i hope we can get some more going, hopefully a bit more coordinated next time haha. <3

i do enjoy 2 shotting clothies but if you want to do well in the 70~79 bracket, you will need to do way more than just that:)



and man, you have no idea how many rogues i run into are mutilate at this level. mutilate might be a good template at 80 in arena, but in 70-79 battlegrounds, shadowdance is simply way better. i have owned so many 79 rogues (as long as they don't 100-0 me when my trinket is down) it's funny.
 
why dont u get initiative or cheat death, those seem like they'd be really good (especially cheat death if you get ur arena/pvp gear)
 
While arena's are fun and I dont mind getting my ass kicked in there 75% of the time Tenoa isnt carrying me. Not everyone likes arena's which is pretty obvious since you typically see the same people in there.



If more people would queue for arena's while waiting for WSG's we could keep people logged onto their twinks longer and have a better shot at getting more WSGs going. An AB would be nice to see sometime as well, but I doubt that will happen.
 
I wonder if you get any XP when a WSG ends 0-0?



If no, we can turn off XP and camp the FR and make it so all the casual levelers can't win.



Seeing as blizzard considers us a niche market, let's impact a larger market and see if we can force them to make no-xp its own battlegroup



OMG
 
God that would be funny lol. I just finished leveling my 49 horde lock through BGs... in my last game, I dropped a Howl of Terror on a huge group of Allies, and absolutely blew up the Flag Carrier. They're so bad in XP bgs lol.



I've personally never been in a 0-0 XP game, although it would be fun to try it out.

Every person gets around 1k xp at the end of a WSG at level 49 regardless of winner or number of caps. At least that's what happened when 3.2 was launched and I did a little testing on one of my 49 twinks with lots of spare xp.



Of course we could just all afk out with 1 minute left.



Speaking of this, anyone know how the xp-off feature affects arena skirmishes. I know I've seen levelers in arena post 3.2, but I don't know if they had xp off or anything.
