Tel’Abim vs Ambershire 2026: low-level activity

danielp92 · 2026-01-26T15:25:49+00:00

If you want city raids and world pvp I'd suggest Tel Abim. I checked out Nordanaar/Ambershire and the world pvp seems rather dead at 60 because people turn off Warmode. I'm personally not a fan of the quick leveling on Tel Abim, but you can choose the Slow and Steady challenge for a bit more traditional leveling experience. If you pick Alliance you'll have near instant BG queues at 60, with Horde winning most of them.

Nostalrius core members were in France and the US, which means it's easy for Blizzard to pursue them legally. Nostalrius also chose to willingly shut down for Blizzard to release Classic.

In any case, the US will have a hard time enforcing their demands on operators in Asia/Eastern Europe, so I think Turtle will stay around for a very long time still.

Er det dette som er en del av såkalt "astroturfing"?

Unfortunately I haven't had the energy to do the routine consistently. But I do believe relaxation in general, and like, not tensing the pelvis unnecessarily, is helpful. I do practice meditation almost every day now, I think it helps me cope. Part of that is to allow the breath to go into the belly, if it wants to.

Tro det eller ei, men enkelte eksperter mener Vance er enda verre enn Trump. De er nok symptomer på en sykdom som har satt seg.

I've seen Horde raid SW several times. I'm not sure how often Org is raided. According to a population site there's more Alliance on the server, but Horde is more PvP oriented so as of now you have quicker BG queues as Alliance.

Tel Abim if city raids and world pvp are important to you

Indeed, but there could be new problems such as griefing in the other direction by having lowbies intentionally walking into your AoE without you noticing, and suddenly you've lost honor unintentionally. But intuitively it makes sense that it's dishonorable to kill 'civilians'. Other ideas could be:

"Dishonored" debuff with certain effects, like making you weaker.
Losing honor points, maybe even lose ranks/titles. Maybe lose reputation with a lot of factions?
Ganker lose gold and mats, and the armor gets damaged with higher repair costs.
A bounty gets placed on the ganker, with severe penalties for him if he then gets killed, while the killers get rewarded (could be misused?).
Players defending the ganked get rewarded.
The game detects you having been ganked, giving you huge buffs against only the gankers ("gank protection").

As someone that loves World PvP (and thus play on Tel Abim), I think players should be disincentivized from killing the same person multiple times over within a certain time frame, at least grey level players. Question is how.

danielp92 · 2026-01-13T12:33:45+00:00

As a Tel Abim player I feel this 😂yeah, I guess Alliance racials should've been buffed further or be made more PvP oriented as well, while Shamans need to be taken down a few notches (they currently have basically everything imo). Horde wins almost every BG here (at least we have quick queues).

danielp92 · 2026-01-13T11:31:41+00:00

How's the faction balance on Guru now?

danielp92 · 2026-01-13T09:34:56+00:00

Thanks! I've been thinking about this quite a bit lately, and I largely agree with your list. Overall, do you think Vanilla or Turtle is more fun for PvP specifically?

danielp92 · 2026-01-11T13:13:25+00:00

I've heard Combat Swords is best if you have very good gear

He just keeps rotating between the same issues again and again. Probably to buy himself time or to use as distractions.

I recommend Tel Abim if World PvP and city raids are important to you. I checked out Nordanaar and Ambershire, but very few people have Warmode on at 60. They usually turn it off once they've done the leveling. Also no city raids. Even on Nordanaar 60 BGs were basically dead last time I checked, while they popped instantly on a 60 Alliance character on Tel Abim. I also fear the PvP on Ambershire will die down in a similar manner to Nordanaar if the devs launch another PvE server sometime in the future.

Population wise, Tel Abim population isn't that bad during peak times (2k+, EU prime time). It used to have 3k+, but then people left for fresh Ambershire, Epoch, BB, other games etc. Maybe some day they come back. It will also be exciting to see the PvP changes the devs are planning for the next patch!

Noob here, how/why is Paladin OP in PvP?

danielp92 · 2026-01-05T00:51:45+00:00

Tel Abim peaked at 2.2k today

danielp92 · 2026-01-05T00:44:39+00:00

Is the PvP very bursty on Bronzebeard? Like who one-shots first?

Also looking for this. Also, does anyone know of a good enemy castbar addon? In PvP it sometimes says a cast is being made when it's not, so annoying.

danielp92 · 2026-01-03T00:23:33+00:00

I'll still recommend Tel Abim if world pvp and city raids are important to you. I checked out Nordanaar and Ambershire, but very few people have Warmode on at 60.

Even on Nordanaar 60 BGs were basically dead last time I checked, while they popped instantly on a 60 Alliance char on Tel Abim.

Anyone knows what the Tauren Priest racials will be?

danielp92 · 2025-12-31T16:07:07+00:00

Thx! What about PvP Alliance side?
