Hey all,

I'm a semi seasoned MMORPG player with City of Heroes and a little bit of lineage 2. I felt that the COH didn't really have a point to the game. I was wondering about the way things work in WOW as I just recently ordered the game and should come in anytime now. Of course, each character must level. However, is the purpose of leveling to eventually engage in PvP and group together and try and conquer the continent? If so, I'd feel that this would be awesome. Eventually PvP would turn into Group versus Group, and eventually an entire army. The prospects and possiblities are so cool. Also, I've noticed that guilds or clans sort of do this? Is this their purpose, to organize a certain level of players to lead raids upon the alliance or hordes. Thanks guys

As the game is today, you can't really "conquer" new land, or expand your territory. Special Battlegrounds are about to come however, where towers, mines etc can be captured. Expect these to be reset every day.

The point of lvling is to have fun while doing it, and progress in the game. The game currently has 60 lvl's, you can easily do pvp from lvl 20 and on.

pvp can take form from one on one encounters, to big raids, where as much as 250 members from one faction has invaded on enemy land and attacked.

Hope that answered some of your questions

conquering other towns is just sandbox mentality fun. where players fight one another just for the fun of doing so.

in battlegrounds, players will be fighting over real objectives - areas that players will absolutely be dying to get into for exceptional loot.

And honor. Which will give them access to new epic mounts and even better items.

whereas (sp?) actions such as ganking will result in being branded an outlaw for some time. Your own faction NPC will then attack you on sight.

if ur in to the lineage 2 type massive pvp stuff, i play lineage 2 on top of WoW, then be sure to join a pvp server and lvl up for battle grounds, guild is sorta like a clan in lineage, no real lvls in guild though
