There are some people who run around with it on, but not close to as many as those on a PVP server.<br /><br />After Hillsbrad Foothills, Stranglethorn seemed much easier. I actually found Arathi harder than Stranglethorn since it's a direct stop on the way to the Hinterlands for higher level Alliance players, and the openness of the land can lull you into a false sense of security. At Stranglethorn I was constantly on guard for whatever was hiding in the brush, so I never got jumped as much when I was soloing.<br /><br />I had to laugh the other morning when I was putzing around in Hillsbrad. Just when I was getting ready to head back to Tarren Mill after completing some of the Syndicate quests, the old "Tarren Mill is Under Attack!" started scrolling by. <br /><br />Some things never change.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-66796854821833978652010-03-04T18:49:36.065-05:002010-03-04T18:49:36.065-05:00What do you mean by flipping the switch? are you ...What do you mean by flipping the switch? are you talking about running around with the pvp flag enabled all the time?<br /><br />And yes, your observation about players developing bad habits on PVE servers can be true. I, however, having been raised the proper way, get an absolute kick out of the keyboard turning hunter I occasionally run into in wintergrasp. Mainly because it'll 100% to dead with out even so much as scratching my HP.<br /><br />I have made the swap from pvp to pve servers a few times, and I gotta say you can actually appreciate the game from a new light. For instance, stranglethorn vale on pvp server is your coming of age. It's THE make or break spot for most people. <br /><br />However, leveling through there on a PVE server was actually quite enjoyable, and strangely odd. It was quite relaxing with the jungle sounds, easy grind quests, and occasional rain downpours. I'm glad I got the opportunity to experience both "sides" of that zone.Deftighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404189161333779934noreply@blogger.com
