Neither, go to Arathi Basin unless there is a Warsong Gulch Holiday. Nobody play WSG anymore.

A pity about that, though my level 29 paladin has been playing some.

Like a number of people, I look forward to multiple BG queues at once. That should lessen the wait, and bring about more WG usage. Though my level 50-59 characters will probably STILL not be able to get into anything.

I'm going to be frank, you are not going to make it to rank 14. There can only be 1 rank 14 on a server, well 2, one for each faction. And it takes 60+hours a week to do this. Casual gamers should even think about it.

He said "i play more than 6 hours a day, monday to sunday. almost everyday." That's puts him in the category of "could possibly be a high warlord/field marshal" and out of "no chance in hell" ;)

And yes there can be more than one HW/FM, there are two FMs on the alliance side of my server right now.


Zmuu, wish I could provide more info but from what I've heard yes it'll take you 2-3 months, maybe more if there are tons of people grinding CP on your realm. I do know several rank 14s have had friends play their accounts so they could be online for 12-14hrs, but that's not necessary for every server out there...

Good luck!

A good way to find out wether you have a chance or not is this:

Play at your desired time investment for a week. If your standing is not 1 for that week, you have no chance. If your standing is 1, then you have a good chance, and it will take about 2 months of keeping that standing.

To make it work you will need to create a fixed team. The choice of BG depends on your server. Honor gain will be about the same for both, so it only depends on which one is being played by the most people, so you have the best chance of getting a game running, as well as the greatest chance of meeting a PUG.

im gonna say you have a slim to none chance of getting rank 14. my server had no 14's for a long time. the last 14 just dissapeared as most of them do.

I wouldnt even worry about it, the time you have to put in is insane.

There can be only one...

Some misperceptions earlier in the thread.
There can be multiple Warlords/Field Marshalls (rank 13) per server. A rating of over 50K is needed for that.

There can be only one High Warlord/Grand Marshall (rank 14) per faction at any given time. It requires, I think, 10 weeks of getting "X" honor a week, X varying from server to server.

So, some servers don't have an HW/GM, but will have many of the rank 13's.

So, if you can get up to the number 1 spot on your server, I think it will take 10 weeks of maintaining that to get to rank 14.

Well..maybe you can enlighten me here:

To be rank 7 (which I am) I need an average honor of 25 000. To keep that rank, I need to keep on making 25 000 honor per week. And so on. Several weeks of 30 000 and more honor is needed to reach rank 8. etc. 35 000 rank 9, 40 000 rank 10, 45 000 rank 11, 50 000 rank 12, 55 000 rank 13 and I guess 60 000 rank 14 - though I am not sure here.

Now in my ranking range I notice that when I had 25 200 points as an average one week and only did 21 000 the next week, my total honor slipped a bit to 25 062 average. Which reinforces my idea that you need a solid 25 000 to stay at rank 7.

This week I made 60 000 Honor points and it wasn't that hard. But the higher you climb in the ranking, some kind of penalty must be implemented. Otherwise anybody could just gain 60 000 points over 10 weeks (120 000 when the ambassadors are in town) and be a High Warlord.

Any ideas?
