World of Warcraft Battlegrounds in Testing

The much anticipated Battlegrounds content is live on the test servers for World of Warcraft. The patch notes for the upcoming game update include class changes and world modifications. From the notes: "The Warsong Gulch and Alterac Valley battlegrounds are now available. The Warsong Gulch entrances may be found in the northern Barrens near the Mor'Shan Rampart (Horde) and south of Silverwing Outpost in Ashenvale (Alliance). The Alterac Valley entrances may be found east of Sofera's Naze in Alterac (Horde), and in the Headlands of Alterac (Alliance)."

True enough, but even on our fairly low-population server (hovers Low/Medium in the WoW rankings), we have several hundred people on the Alliance who are more active than me at PVP, and I'd like to think I'd be somewhere on the middle-low end of commitment to PVPing (one or two weeknights and most of Saturday on the typical week). Several hundred teammates and an equal number of opponents, taken 40v40 at a time, is enough variety for anyone. Heck, I played CS for 3 years on a server which had two dozen regulars with perhaps 5 drop-ins every night, and that was still fun. Plus, you get the nice cozy people with people you've hit a few times.

Tourach, by the way, next time you try backstabbing me you'll be eating grass! I have a new Polymorph macro with your name on it -- literally! :)
