Battlegrounds Mini-Site
One of the core tenets of the Warcraft universe is the raging
conflict between the Horde and the Alliance. Old hatreds die
hard, as they say, and the hate shared between these two ancient
foes is deep and primal. That's why the player-versus-player
gameplay has always been a staple of the design for World of
Warcraft; the war between the Horde and the Alliance simply
isn't over.
In the battle for Azeroth, certain territories have become focal
points for conflict between the Horde and Alliance.
Battlegrounds represent key locations where this struggle has
escalated into all-out war. Each battleground presents a
different challenge and environment, and victory here must be
achieved not through sheer numbers, but through strategy, skill,
and grit.
Battleground Holidays
olidays occur during most weekends, starting on Thursday night
at midnight and continuing until Tuesday morning. During a
holiday, emmissaries from one Battleground can be found in the
major cities, and honor/faction rewards for performing
objectives in that battleground are increased. To find out when
the next Holiday is happening, check out the Events Calendar.
Cross-Realm Battlegrounds
atch 1.12: The Drums of War introduced cross-realm PvP
Battlegrounds, linking Alterac Valley, Warsong Gulch, and Arathi
Basin so that players from several realms will be combined into
one huge matchmaking pool. You can check out the full
battlegroup list to find out which battlegroup you're in and
