Cross Realm BGs Released in 1.12

[Octayvius]

We must keep x realm BGs because it's not Vanilla otherwise. Check mate purists. http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Battlegroup

You say checkmate when you got someone. There's no "gotcha" here. A vanilla purist would accept crossrealm bg's.

Cross realm BGs were part of the death of the community in Vanilla and cross realm dungeons solidified it. X realm BGs should not be added and many would recognize it as the cancer it is.

Enjoy all the sadness of Xrealms in retail. Please do not bring them here to classic.

Vanilla doesn't care about your opinion.

But that's not Vanilla. Listen to my autism please

[Yot]

And? Who is to say there will be even enough classic realms to xrealm?

[Yot]

That's my point, no one has any details if we're getting multiple realms, a single realm, etc. So bringing up xrealm and anything it entails seems premature.

Your point, OK. sure.

Thats not the point. If there was enough, then purist would be against it with us as well against it, it shows that Vanilla is not just some patch setting but that there is something more to it and so this autistic war cry that's not Vanilla on every single minor change is invalid and hyporctital

If they were a feature of Vanilla, why would purists be against it?

[Blameshiftwarrior]

Yeah they were released in 1.12, but not until then it was server only and there were no battlemaster's, had to go to like barrens/ashenvale to que for wsg etc. Its just Community sense.

Likely because you lose the sense of server community with x-realm BG's.

Correct. Because recognizing some guy you wrecked and then shit posting him on the realm forums was half the fun of the game. Ninja loot drama etc. Things about community. That is what Vanilla is and must have preserved.

See, this guy gets it. Fundamentally we are going to come to a crossroads where all the bullshit overglorified nonsense of vanilla is going to fade away and purists are either going to realize it was all rose tinted goggles or blame Blizzard for not implementing it 100% exactly how vanilla was, even though doing so would be limiting their market scope to such a ridiculously small audience it would end up as Project Titan.

Crossrealm BGs are Vanilla. This is an objective fact.

[Octayvius]

I see all these purists saying no changes but then don't want cross realm bgs. I love the cognitive dissonance of this kind of hypocrisy.

[Lollis]

The pre patch of TBC...

No.

2.0.1 Was the TBC prepatch.
2.0.3 Was the TBC launch patch.
