The Last Option for Revival of Frostwolf!
Hello guys, i am an old player that has been around since season 2 on Frostwolf and i quit serious game play on the realm about 3 seasons ago so that would be about an year now. I am still checking the ladder and the player base of the realm from time to time and the only word i can think of is disappointment... Anyways, i still remember the times when Frostwolf was having 4.500+ players (If warmane monitors them correctly which i doubt) and the 2s ladder was peaking over 3k rate whereas the 3s ladder was also highly competitive and was having over 2500 rated players. You can imagine the difference. But guess what?! The state of the realm in terms of spells and classes working properly was not better, not even close to better than its current state. So the point i am trying to make is not that we need any hot fixes for this crappy realm. The real point is that it was fun to play Mists of Pandaria PvPwise and that the majority of the population of the realm was due to its PvP activity.
So recently i have been watching some youtube videos when i stumbled across the old Arena - tournament promotional events with prize pools varying up to 5000$ and i thought that the hosting of a major tournament on the mop realm will be a good idea. I know that the warmane's staff have already promised that they are going to host a tournament at the end of the season which of course was a lie and they didn't keep their promise but i also remember a tournament that they actually hosted and i dont believe that it is so hard to repeat that again. Now, in my opinion the prize pool does not need to be as high as the old AT/Warmane tournaments but even as big as 100 bucks could be sort of a stimulus for players to be attracted to start over and compete on Frostwolf. I think that this will also be beneficial for the server because it will result in a better promotion of the realm. I am sure that as soon as such event is announced and heard over the MoP community over the different servers, everybody will gather on Frostwolf.
Keep in mind that a single warglaive on Outland costs more than 200 euro so i think that warmane's staff is definitely capable of investing a couple hundred bucks in the organisation of such tournament.
If you want to discuss the idea and its promotion, please feel free to do so. If you want to be a crybaby and curse at this forgotten realm and the lack of attention from the GMs and how neglected Frostwolf is then please find another thread to do so.
Lastly, If anybody has footage of the tournament that was hosted on Frostwolf around season 3 i believe, please post it down here.
