Lol that had to be some kind of bug, especially seeing as how it's on the PTR. The worst WSGs I've seen are maybe 60-90 minutes and that's with the worst alliance turtles (about 60-70% of alliance teams). The only way you'd ever see a true 23 hour WSG is if they let alliance teams fight each other. 20 people, all unable to figure out how to leave their flag room... lol.

It's from a popular MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) called World of Warcraft. It's actually fairly fun to play but it's $15 a month and people can become dangerously addicted to it.

Anyways I can see people get really bored on the test servers. :p

What, like watching people eat slugs on TV? Sorry, my IQ is higher than 75.

MMORPGs are an entertainment type growing in popularity as TV programming descends from the dumb to the abysally stupid. Get used to it, they're nothing to be so frightened of ;)

People go on the PTR's to test things. WSG is the easiest way to test pvp. So people join a game with no interest in capping flags, its basically a big kill-fest. Eventually they get bored and afk out, explaining the low highest number of kills.

God, I'm glad I stopped playing WOW. I only stopped playing 3-4 months ago and already the gameplay has shifted tremendously. Plus another expansion forthcoming? Jesus Christ, does Blizzard have nothing better to do but throw gratuitous, poorly planned content at WOW subscribers?

Where's SC:Ghost?!

EVERYONE'S primary motive in life is money. Might not be that direct but at the end it's all about money. That is the meaning and purpose of life.

It's the degree to which they've gone which is the concern. WoW was a decent product at release, but having a monopoly has allowed them to grow apathetic and more greedy. Further, Blizzard lost some key talent during WoW's development, so it's not hard to imatine that being a factor in the gradual decline.

You know what ticks me off? When people type out abbreviations and don't explain what the hell they are, whats WSG?! Am i expected to know what this is??? Hell i still type out "starcraft" because as popular as it is im sure theres people out there who dont know what "SC" means.

its off topic!!, look at the bottom right corner of teh score board. it says duration

^ I've translated the above from World of Warcraft idiot speak into English.

I was not actually participating in this match for 23 hours; having seen that the score was 0/0, I assumed that the match had just started and so joined in on the fun. Another player claimed that the game had been going on for some 23 hours. My initial reaction was disbelief, but upon checking the in-game timer myself, his claim was confirmed - the game had indeed been going on for 23 hours!

Screenshot evidence

Incredible! This must be a new record.

The post is off-topic. If you look at the bottom-right-hand corner of the scoreboard in the screenshot, you will see the match duration.

I have no clue what a WSG is and never played WoW geez sometimes I'll play BF2 and just race buggies on Jalabad with other people. no kills so what
