For me PVP is way more fun, unless you're a moany toss pot.

Last night walking through Ashenavle around 30-40 Alliance were streaming towards that Splintertree Outpost, absolute carnage ensued as they just mowed down the guards at the gates and nailed around 20-30 Horde.

Stuff like that just makes PVP worth while rather than having to do /PVP to enable PVP and then making sure they also have PVP enabled, it just suckeths the donkey's cocketh. Plus I am now a Rogue which means I can hide like a sly/cheap/cheeky/annoying f**k wit, the same f**k wits that drove me towards the act of castrating my fish, but if you can't beat em, BEAT em and if you can't BEAT em, join em :D

The upcoming Battlegrounds? There's no such thing as PvE either. It's "normal". Any contested area is a PvP area, you just type in "/pvp" to flag yourself for PvP combat, and likewise the other player. The difference is if you want to fight other players you can if you want, and not get repeatedly killed in contested areas and never be able to do certain quests as you spend 7/8ths of you time backing off / getting killed / travelling back to your corspe after getting nailed again and again.

but I'm sure this has been explained already. A normal server made the game fun for me again, as I didn't want to spend my time avoiding packs of high level horde.

For example, on Dragonmaw I had a delivery quest to the east of Ashenvale. NEVER managed to do it, and every time I tried I was killed. Got a similar quest from the horde faction a few days back. I juts waltzed to the west through a huge raid, then once finished thought "I'll have some Pvp", flagged it, and raided for a bit.

I haven't even done 31mb today and that's with 4 hours of playing and loads of web browsing!

It only downloads stuff co-ordinates of other players and what clothes it should load up for them. All the big files are on your PC, the server just tells the comp to loads them.

Hmm.. I'm still unsure whether, apart from downloading patches, online gaming actually takes up "download" caps?

I mean, if simply browsing the web does, surely games must eat the limit up real fast...

months i would guess there are only about 5 files that are downloaded while playing that contain barley any data, much like CSS reaching download limits just playing that would be bloody hard.

How long is your 20gig limit for, a month?

There's always people joining and also people tend to reroll characters so along with their level 60 they'll have another one they play as for a change to keep the game fresh i guess. I doubt you'll join to find everyone else being level 60's
