The first is that it’s a lot easier to balance classes, and the classes don’t have to be evenly matched so they can beat each other in PvP.

The communities also tend to be friendlier in PvE only games. You can see this (sometimes) in the difference between PvE and PvP servers in WoW.

Anyway, take it easy in the sun. The sun doesn’t disappear here, but it gets cooler (and hopefully wetter). Enjoy your WoW-less summer.

In the end I'll probably stop playing Wow for a while however lord of the rings just doesnt appeal to me in the slightest... no opposing factions will be a right bore. Besides its summer now anyway(almost) and the sun is coming out.... living in Scotland i may just have to make the most of it and leave my alter egos festering in my pc for a while Hmm I play WOW a fair bit but am seriously getting bored of it, too many italians on the realm i use makes communication and gettin a group difficult, and yes i have tried other realms but iv got a good few high lvls on my main realm and am not paying blizzard anymore money to transfer them.
