Please implement a BG Start Announcer

[Zappa 7]

Low level brackets are almost dead at least on Anathema.

Nothing pops at the moment.

Would it be so wrong to implement a BG Start Announcer?

This is one of the best modifications in the whole private server scene ever.

This could motivate players to join battlegrounds while leveling.

PvP on Anathema is atm 2-3 good 39 bracket games and 24/7 premade leeching at 60.

We need more games at 19, 29, 39, 49!

+1 it would be great to introduce the announcements for the 10-59 battlegrounds. There is also the good way with commands for remote registration and stopxp.

I would agree that announcements would be quite useful and desired. I strongly disagree with the concept of "stopxp". The problem with stopxp is that it will increase the population of twinks and twinks are one of the major causes of people avoiding battle ground. The twink population will likely respond that they're not doing anything that anyone else can do. The problem with that argument is that some people just want to accomplish some PvP quests and continue leveling. They aren't dedicated towards spending their time exclusively in battle ground. And it is unreasonable for anyone to expect someone to dedicated several weeks of effort just to enter a battle ground and be on even footing with some twink who has BiS in every slot for his level.

So YES to announcements. That would be helpful and useful.

And NO to stopxp. Think battle grounds are dead now? They will be far deader if the twink population increases.

Twinks is not a problem, problem from gear and levels balance only, it will be at low levels all time. Balance interesting for many twinks and they can do it.

BG announcement yes since it doesnt actually change anything to the game, XP /off no.
