Warcraft Battlegrounds
Jaimie and I did a battleground (Warsong Gulch) in World of Warcraft last night. Battlegrounds are player versus player areas where you take on the opposing faction in a battle. Warsong Gulch is a game of capture the flag – the first team to get the enemy’s flag back to their base three times wins.
Jaimie’s first two battlegrounds didn’t go so well – in the first one she accidentally exited out by running through the wrong door and in the second the Horde was overwhelmingly powerful. The one last night was very nicely balanced – the score was three to two. Jaimie enjoyed dishing out the damage. There’s just something a lot more satisfying about knowing that the character you’re blasting has a person controlling them rather than a computer. It likely we’ll do that again soon.
