Stock 3.3.5a combat

PvP

Battlegrounds, arena and world PvP on stock 3.3.5a.

Battlegrounds

Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin, Eye of the Storm, Strand of the Ancients, Alterac Valley and Isle of Conquest are all available. Press H, open the Battlegrounds tab and pick one, or take a random one. Most can start from 5v5, and Alterac Valley and Isle of Conquest from 10v10. They still fill to their usual size if enough people queue.

Arena

The Arena tab in the PvP window does everything: queue Skirmish, make a team, invite people and queue rated. You don’t need a charter. Every match pays Honor and Arena Points with no weekly cap, and rated games build the Rating you need for the better Wrathful items.

The Proving Grounds

Everyone lives here, around the old Argent Tournament, and the only way off is a battleground or arena. Champions’ Camp is safe. Cross east into the Killing Fields and anyone can attack you.

The Throne War

Every two hours the Frozen Throne hosts 15 minutes of free-for-all, and the Portal Keeper in camp takes you there. First place wins 7,500 Honor, second 5,000 and third 2,500.

The Duelist’s Ring

West of camp, for duels and for standing around in your new gear.

Cross-faction teams

You get sorted onto whichever side needs players, which keeps queues moving on a small population. You show up as a race of that side while you’re inside.

Fair play

The server detects speed, fly and teleport hacks, and repeat offenders get removed. Staff also go through arena match records looking for win-trading.
