I've Always Wondered...

I've always wondered how much of a difference multiboxers would have made back in the day in games like
this AV.







I found that pic in this Reddit post a few days ago and I figured I'd share. If Blizzard ever opened up a
Vanilla server I could easily see myself rolling a team (or even solo) so that I could take part in those old
school epic AVs.

Back when there was no timer and no resources? Games went on for hours.... I think i literally spent all saturday in an AV game. I kinda miss those days, but with kids around i'm kinda glad i can get in and out as i need to.

i remember AV going on for a entire weekend, the raid bosses summoned, the druids, some big ass boss that would roll through and kill everyone in sight, we would have to pull that big ass thing back to Drek to have him kill it because nobody else would be able too.

So fun, i wish they would bring something like that back instead of the instant gratification type battlegrounds.

woah! thats serious. Either that was organized honor farming, or some really horrible players. Ive never seen a game last an entire weekend.

I have been through many games that lasted 2-3 hrs. I cant even fathom a 48 hr game.

really? you dont remember that? it was when av first came out, i would join a game on saturday, quit, do stuff, come back sunday and it would be the same game, av took soooo long. i loved it.
There was tons in that battleground, prolly still is with all the extras, wind riders, summonings.
I imagine they are all still there but the games dont last long enough to get to see them.

You needed to collect blood an armor scraps and stuff to summon them, so i doubt they are still there :-(

Its all still there. During my first AV weekend earlier this year we summoned the icelord several times and each time we did it was like "Ohhhhhh what is this" from several players. One game we stopped killing alliance players just for the lols of him hitting their zerg.

Hehee those AV games where fun.. i played Argent Dawn EU allie we had like 90% of the server so we got like 1 AV a week that lasted like 30 hours haha so stupid.. was fun tho

I recall many, many times when people would be complaining in Org general chat that we didn't have enough tanks or healers to kill the boss(es) in AV. And how people were laughing about logging out of an AV Friday night and logging back in to the same game still going on Sunday.

Wasn't playing back then, but I'd love to experience the feel of it. Though I doubt it would be a good thing for the game. Maybe having the regular AV the way it is, and have a couple mega AV's going as well where you can queue up for specifically would do the trick.
