Astranarr is never safeFollow

Once, when I was a super noob, I made the mistake of going on a raid to Orgrimarr and I noticed as I passed Astranarr I noticed that all the guards were dead and bodies were everywhere and then I got slaughtered by the horde. What lvl should u be in order to safely get pass Astranarr?

The same people killing you in Astranaar would be killing you in Orgrimar, only with guards helping. They saved you a trip by meeting you halfway.

Astranaar is usually quiet, but if it is too quiet because everyone is dead, its time to leave.

Astranaar is safe on any PVE realm.

Unless you go and flag yourself for PVP in which case you shouldn't be surprised when you get killed.


If you play on a PVP realm then you aren't safe anywhere outside of your own factions' 1-20 zones. No level is 'safe' when it is flagged for PVP.

I feel the same way when I go to drop off a quest in Crossroads or Splintertree and find that the NPC I came to see was dead. It's annoying but it's part of the game.

It happens on both sides and since there are more Alliance players than Horde players, it seems like the Horde towns get hit more though that could be just on the servers I am on.

I have wondered if this sort of town raiding happens more on PVE servers where it is one of the few ways you can 'grief' the opposing faction on that kind of server.

Actually if he's a NE he is going the fastest way possible, Darkshore into Ashenvale, East to the river, look south, hey its Orgrimmar...

To get to ratchet he either has to go through astranaar then south through the barrens OR catch the boat to menethil, run to IF, tram to SW, run to BB through STV, boat to Ratchet...

To get to Tirisfal it's menethil then up through Arathi, Hillsbrad, Alterac or Silverpine...

Both your options require extensive travel through high level and horde areas, not to mention running south through the barrens to Ratchet just to run back north through the barrens to Org is just silly.

it seems everytime I'm on Argent Dawn I always see a bunch of dead orc bodies with no armor lying on the floor in Stormwind Keep, next to the King.

Must be bored Horde players making characters just to horse around. Witnessed a 3 Man Darnassus 'Raid' (attempt)one day. They made it from the Boat in Rut'Therian to about 100 feet from the Portal to Darnassus.

If you think Astranarr is never safe try playing around in The Crossroads, there are nearly always Alliance ganking there.

Personally I mostly ride through, DoT everything in sight and just drain the life out of everything, even going os far as to kill the FP guy/girl.

T'is fun, which is what this game should be about, rather than spending 35 hours a week raiding, I already have one job, I certainly don't need another.
