A New Battleground

While working on my Merrymaker title I had to kill 50 people while wearing a Santa's Helper outfit. I look adorable as a Dwarf by the way.

The concept is very simple. One goes into a magical booth that changes your appearance into a Santa's Helper. Upon accomplishing this trivial task enter a battleground and start killing people. Simple, huh?

There is a rub. When you die in the battleground you lose the disguise.

I elected to try a new battleground since I hate PvP and have had my fill of Warsong Gulch, A Basin, and AV. I haven't run them in months, but still did not have any desire to set foot in any of them.

The name of the new battleground escapes me. The premise is a simple one...defend against a siege while the other side sieges. There is a timer running, and when the attackers successfully complete their siege everyone changes sides. The defenders become siegers and the siegers become defenders. If the new siegers beat the time of the old siegers they win, if not they lose.

This is a fast battle...maybe 20 minutes (if that).

I hate to admit it, but I enjoyed this new battleground. There is a great deal of action, and it ends way before it becomes tedious. I didn't mind having to run it 5 or 6 times to get my achievement done. And, hey, I got about 5,000 honor points out of it too.

I guess it's time to start grinding for some welfare epics before I get complacent about PvP again. I can't let Wriken and Uncas out DPS me forever. Welfare epics are going to be better than half my gear anyway. What's a week of mindless killing among friends?
