World of Warcraft -- World PvP

Nice article that tells us about upcoming PVP changed in WOW.

If you're a player who regularly waits an hour or more for a PvP match that may only last ten minutes, cross-server Battleground should bring some much-needed relief from the waiting game, as well as making Alterac Valley a viable option for people who are playing on servers not in their time zone.

Rumour & Scoop

Nice set of rumors and other information over on WorldofWar.net.

This article is, in essence, simply a list. It’s a compilation of the insights I garnered while at E3. As this was written a few weeks after E3 ended, some of this information is already out, and I’m simply confirming it and its source. Most of what is contained herein is new, however. In short, while at E3 I got the scoop on a whole lot of WoW-related information. In the interests of keeping you, my fellow game geeks, in the know and up to speed, I thought I’d share all the rumor and scoop about the WoW universe with you. I hope you find this info as interesting as I did.

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Preview

Very nice review of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Preview

So what is offered to devoted players in The Burning Crusade? First and foremost on anyone's list would be the hundreds of hours of new gameplay in a completely new area for high-level characters. This begins with the opening of the Dark Portal from Azeroth to Outland, which will be similar to a world-event, but will not require that all players be in the same area to experience it. Although the details were sketchy at this point, Blizzard has stated that regardless of where you may happen to be on the world map when this occurs on your server, and regardless of your level, you will experience something akin to hell freezing over. Or the gates to hell opening up and unleashing monsters like you have never seen before. Or the announcement of Starcraft 2 followed by a server crash. Okay, so the last one was a stretch, but I assure you that whatever does happen, you will want to be online for it, even if your character is still only level 25 or so.

The Scourge Invasion

This sounds like so much fun. The World of warcraft website has new information about the Scourge Invasion. Looks great. This may be the best event ever! No really!

With each victory against the Scourge, the defense grows stronger. As more and more invasion attempts are beaten back by the defenders, the Argent Dawn will be able to bestow increasingly more powerful blessings upon those fighting the invaders. If the mortal races focus on clearing the Scourge camps all over the world that have sprung up beneath each necropolis, perhaps the invasion can effectively be halted or even repelled. Those who wish to take up arms against the undead invaders should speak with a representative of the Argent Dawn to learn what regions need help and how the defense is holding up.
