7. Battlegrounds (PvP)
But World of Warcraft and tension is at an all-time high between the Horde and the Alliance. Rest assured, you’ll get to duke it out in the classic battlegrounds you’ve always known and love, but we have something more for you. Off the coast of Kalimdor lies the Darkspear Islands, a strategic location for those seeking to gain an upper hand in the conflict.
This is a 15 vs 15 battleground that follows the same ruleset as Eye of the Storm. If you want to win, you’ll need to control strategic positions throughout the islands. The catch is that this battleground features Arathi Basin-style capture points. You’ll need to interact with a flag and stand to defend it to secure that location.
You guessed it, you’ll be joining the Darkspear trolls as they fight to eradicate the Alliance from their islands. And Alliance, you are to report to the Theramore Expeditionary Force for deployment.
