One of the worst things about queueing for battlegrounds at night is that hardly anyone queues. There’s this weird limbo time where it’s kind of dead. Perhaps it’s the level I’m at (32) or perhaps it’s just a weird time (just after 1 a.m. EST). But if you’re lucky enough to get a queue, then sometimes this happens:
“Not enough players. This game will end in 5 Min.”
NOOOOOOOOOO.
I admit I hadn’t waited long in the queue, but I did leave a full Arathi Basin to join Warsong Gulch just because it makes my heart swell with joy. And now I was going to be shut out because not enough Alliance queued? ROARRRR.
Nevertheless, myself and the three other people in there — all druids — buffed and waited for the game to start.
But the WoW Gods kept reminding us:
Thirty seconds passed and the battle for Warsong Gulch began! With only four, though, the game would certainly end within four minutes. However:
A mage joined the party! Hooray! We trudge triumphantly across mid-field and I wonder to myself, How many Horde are there? (There are five alliance at this point.)
Can we do it? Five against ten? If we asked a magic eight ball, they’d say, “Outlook grim.” š¦ BUT WE TRY! And miraculously, we’re able to nab the flag. But then we get to mid…
No dice. š¦ We drop the flag. They cap. This happens again, quite quickly, and they cap once more.
Then there’s a light at the end of the tunnel!
People start joining! (Except for Neigel, who immediately left. Wimp.) ZOMG! DO I SMELL A COMEBACK?
Nigel’s replacement also joins!
We can DO this!
Actually, no. No we can’t. (We lost in eight minutes. New record?)
Damn.
Got Bubble?
