Rumor was something was going to start on Cho'gall, but I found no toon there named 'Greenhell'. Anyone know? I suppose I'll ask on the server, but I'm placing this post here as an effort to drum up US-side activity of this variety.

Sure it's an increase from before, but not by much it would seem. Moreover, given the way that WG is balanced, I would not call it at all successful until you can DEFEND wintergrap. It is meant to give attackers a very large advantage, so defense should really be the measure you're aiming to increase.<br /><br />Would you mind posting a SS of the wintergrasp win-loss logbook (can be found inside the relic room on the floor).JustinAndrewJohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01770692331668384652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-34018189286665441522010-05-09T21:44:37.320+02:002010-05-09T21:44:37.320+02:00I think his project should be fine, because now it...I think his project should be fine, because now it will be holding it consistently, something that is very hard to do due to the internal balancing system.
