Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Both the teens and the 20-29 were active. I got 6 games in a row before I had to break to make dinner.

would be nice to see some action in the 30's as well. I will be heading there soon.

Many thanks to both the Horde and Alliance players who queued up today and made such great times.

20-29 was great today!

Until the horde stopped queuing </3

How is it in low level bg's with resists and misses against higher level players in that bracket (lv 23 vs lv 29 eg)?

I remember in pvp back in vanilla you could still land most of your spells against red or skull level players but I haven't found it to be the case on a private server.

I remember being pretty ineffective against higher level toons. My first bgs were when I was in the upper teens. I had so much fun there I couldn't wait to que up in the lower 20s. Not only did I get yelled at for queuing at such a low level, but I was pretty useless as a gnome lock. I then just waited to play when I was at the top of the bracket. Healers seem to do ok at lower levels, but everyone else seemed to be at a major disadvantage. I have only been queuing at the top of the brackets here on Nost.

Still borked then. This is something no private server has ever managed to get right.

I'm happy to see that when I do a /who Warsong these days, I see groups in the 30's as well as the 20's and teens.

So now I think I can level into the 30's. I'd like to be able to do BG's all the way up. I do wish we'd see some AB action, as well. But I'm glad that at least we have WSG.

I was unclear in my message. I was referring to live vanilla wow except for my last sentence. I remember lower levels being destroyed in bgs on live vanilla wow. Only healers seemed to do ok. So if that is what is happening here; that is exactly how I remember it. From what I have seen in my limited bg play on Nost; it appears to be right on the money. It has been a long time though.

I didn't read your post properly, my bad. I was fighting a red level player in stv and all I got was a string of resists, I remember in vanilla retail you could still land your attacks on higher level players (even skull level) the majority of times. Here (and on private servers generally) players have the same formula as pve mobs so anything over two or three higher levels will result in a majority of resists. Obviously that wouldn't affect lv 60 pvp to the same degree.
