World of Warcraft: PvP Panel Discussion2009-10-24 00:00:00an abuse reporting system for Alterac Valley, where players will be able to submit a cave defender's name to an automated system. Once enough players report someone, that person will gain a debuff that will put them on a countdown timer, possibly a minute long or so. If that player doesn't get into
combat within that time period, they'll be booted from the instance, and will have to sit out with the deserter status for 15 minutes. It seems like an efficient way to curb...
Unadulterated Awesomeness2009-09-21 00:00:00but tells me I don't have the guts or the strength. I'm not nearly stupid enough to enter the Ring, am I?
Oh, I'm twice as stupid as that!
To the Laughing Skull ruins, folks!
There are quite a few Warmaul Ogres around (and I take the opportunity to put them down for a quest), but there's something unique a bit farther into the ruined town. There's a pit dug in the ground, and I see some Horde and Alliance waiting around it. There's a large Ogre called Mogor
, and a smaller Goblin named Gurgthock next to him.
The Ring of Blood, as the name might suggest, is a pit for combat. Mortal combat, in fact-but it's not a video game.
Er, actually, it kind of is. But that's not important! The Ring of Blood is, for all intents and purposes, Thunderdome. Two men (or Orcs, or Trolls, or Elves, or Gnomes, or teams thereof) enter... one man (or Orc, or Troll, or Elf, or Gnome, or team thereof) leaves. Oh, society-legalized violence. My kind of thing!
The Goblin offers to sponsor me in the Ring of Blood, but doesn't have much confidence in my abilities at first. It must be the dress. I laugh in his face and tell him that I'll take whatever he throws at me, no problem! My first adversary is a giant Clefthoof named Brokentoe. I've soloed Elite quests before, so the fact that it's marked as such doesn't mean a thing. The Mage They Call Jayne(z) enters the Ring of Blood, solo and confident.
One corpse run later, I decide that I should probably get some allies. Ow.
Two warriors, a shaman, a priest, and myself. Time to rock.
It turns out that with a party, the fight isn't that bad. It really does require a proper healer and tank, though. Brokentoe falls, and Gurgthock applauds my victory...

Let’s face it, the MMORPG scene is pitiful at the moment for anyone who loves player versus player
combat and the extremely social gameplay it provides. Many people believe Darkfall is the *only* hope on the horizon. An increase in exposure for Darkfall will benefit the potential playerbase and the developers.
