That ability to attack other players in the open world was a pretty big selling point at the time. That was one of the factors that brought myself and quite a few others I knew to the game to get involved in battling other players over towns and cities.
I'm getting a bit off the topic but I have to say that even with this it showed how shortsighted and poorly planned the PvP was- I can't even count how many times I was disconnected or the server would go down due to Tarren Mill vs Southshore battles.

Of course, heh, not defending how it played out at that time. Those areas were bad enough but how about when they attacked the major cities?
Pretty much was a wash when players started massing atacks for those. Especially Ironforge...
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.
