World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> Hello...39s
like always, people tend to toot their horn a lot when the question is raised. I think Jadyn did this ad naus with regard to asserting Bloodlust was the most active. Well Bloodlust is dead now. Cyclone doesn't even have 10v10s? But apparently their 2v2 arenas are the best. But yeah, nightfall is great for 10v10s, lots of guilds on both sides fielding them.

Yeah, PH pretty much stopped when I quit suddenly. =( Probably my one major regret is that didn't keep going without me. Didn't help that Heysus quit and the new guild he had formed kinda died after he left.
For me it was always Bloodlust or Cyclone. Nightfall, Reckoning, and sometimes Stormstrike had activity from time to time, but it was inconsistent, and the level of organization and competition, and especially the "advertising" was a step behind.
Cyclone has had their cycles of high and low activity, but from what I've heard - and I have been listening actually, just not talking - they've got some pretty consistent activity going, and decent competition, especially with a number of people moving from BL to there. That said, I still have the lowest opinion of their forums and the way they look to outsiders. I've had a couple of people tell me the people are cool in person, and I'm starting to believe that, but Cyclone still seems pretty hostile in comparison to the other bgs.
So I'd say if you're looking for competition, go to Cyclone. If you're interested in just playing, and don't care about the community, go to Cyclone. If you intend to keep playing for a long time, and would prefer a place that doesn't dip too low in activity at times, go to Cyclone.
If you like to post on the WoW forums, and care about the community there, don't go to Cyclone. If you're interested in just playing, but don't really care that much about high-end competition, don't go to Cyclone. If you're looking for big premade fights right this instant, well, look at the activity and be skeptical.
P.S. If I started playing again right now, I'd probably go to Cyclone.
P.P.S. Hm, I just had an interesting thought for a guide. Bbl.
