well so it was updated i guess... but as a past player in lordaeron, i quit bgs coz couldnt do first win of the day and dont tell me i was suck and unlucky... session of 4 hours ended in 1 win , doing daily was horrible... and u take human alliance probably? coz of trinket?

The poll will only be valid when there are a lot of votes, 200 votes vs 4-5k players playing doesn't really tell much does it. Anyway, i hope that Wintergrasp will be stable enough to be enabled (By that i mean that it wont cause lag on a high pop realm)

When only time I ignore the racial abilities is when I chose my race,in my opinion,the first 4 horde races are ugly and the last one looks gay an doesn't have warriors(no wonder,gays can't be warriors-kidding,don't take it personal).

Like it was said before,on this topic only 200 people voted,the rest 4,8k haven't expressed their option.However,if you want to choose the underdogs,then go for alliance,you will not regret :D .

Horde, just because they have the Orgrimmar bank.

Uh pretty sure I play on a private server with 8k players at peak and los/pathfinding is fine. The lines are just damn clean.

As for Wintergrasp, it is currently open but there are a few issues with the victory system, nothing which cant be resolved before the release of Northrend.
There will be a stress test prior to launch to see what the cap should be and how much impact will Wintergrasp have on the realms stability

Is 'open' and 'working as intended' the same thing to you? Cause I mean on Deathwing or Ragnaros WG is beyond broken. The alliance and horde share the same banner spot gods sake...

No one knows that yet. Might be might not be. Maybe just for arenas.. who knows

How then blizzard made pathfinding and Wintergrasp work for WotLK 7 years ago with no lag for a server of maybe 6000 (how much is their server capacities anyone knows ?) players and warmane can't make it with todays hardware to work for 4000 people

Hahahaha that's the easiest question to answer, Blizzard is a super-company that makes few billions of $ per year and they have the best servers money can buy, best IT guys in the world that have been working on the game from day 1, whereas Warmane is super small company compared to them.

No i don't think it has even 1 billion of net income not even close, anyway the main point is Warmane even as much smaller company still has some advantages that blizzard didn't had back then so it should be considerably easier for them to make those parts of the game working

what "advantages" ? :S when he says blizz doing 1 bilion $ means they hire programmers with alot more experience and knowledge than here, means its easy to find fixes to raids, raid scripts are probably nothing to them as well as scripts that are "smart" as not consuming alot of memory and things like that.
without insulting any1 here , u cant compare warmane to blizz, its other league.
anyway u should appreciate what they do here coz its not so easy to copy blizz i guess

bruh back during wrath they had 8-10 mil subs, each paying 15 $ a month. Thats pretty much a yearly income of 1 billion only from wow. And now add diablo...

However there are still seevers running with pathfinding and still have over 2-3k pop.

Back then Wow made a record in the world of games-13 million subs. Multiply that by 15$ per month/180$ per year and you'll get the number i mentioned. And Wow isn't even their only famous game. Now Wow still has 8 mill subs, so even now they have more than 1 billion only from subs.

Just to not leave these wrong facts around, the 2nd quarter of 2015, WoW had 5.6 million subscribers.
