[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

Topic: All Rated Battleground Weeks Now 10v10

Vault_News Title: 0110011010 Be Nice to Me I'm a Bot Posts: 43,785 Registered: Oct 18, '05 Extended Info (if available) Real Post Cnt: 42,467 User ID: 1,086,234	Subject: All Rated Battleground Weeks Now 10v10
	Blizzard posted: We?re in the process of developing a hotfix to push before next Tuesday that will change all 15vs15 rated battleground weeks into 10vs10 weeks. Looking at participation, the 10vs10 rated battleground weeks have been far and away more popular than the 15vs15 weeks. The difference in organizational requirements as well as battleground map popularity have been a couple big factors that have led to the 10vs10 weeks seeing a great deal more action. By making this change and supporting the popular option we hope to encourage even more players and teams to participate, as they won?t have to wait out every other week, or struggle to beef up to 15 players to match the requirement. We also have plans to adapt additional battleground maps in the future to work in the 10 player bracket to increase the variety of maps available. Posted from WoW Vault -----signature----- (none)

	They still can't figure out it's because they are requiring groups to form ahead of time that participation is low? Wow... If you have individual rating (which they do) let people queue solo, form the group like the dungeon finder, match make on the rating and be done with it. Everyone I know was excited by the idea of rated BGs right up to the point where they changed it to require a group formed ahead of time. --Sly -----signature----- "a slap in the face" since 1975 85 Priest - 85 Hunter - 85 Mage - 83 Druid 81 Warlock - 80 Paladin - 80 DK 70 Rogue - 70 Warrior

That's it exactly. I can do a 2v2 arena, get all my wins to cap points before I could even get into 3 rated BGs much less finish them. --Sly -----signature----- "a slap in the face" since 1975 85 Priest - 85 Hunter - 85 Mage - 83 Druid 81 Warlock - 80 Paladin - 80 DK 70 Rogue - 70 Warrior
