Blizzard Entertainment has just added Arathi Basin Battleground to WOW Classic, which will go alive on Wednesday, March 10. In this short article, we will introduce everything we know about this battleground so far.

Just in case you forgot, you can queue up for the new battleground by speaking to your faction quartermaster NPC in the Arathi Highlands zone. Alliance players will need to speak to the quartermaster Samuel Hawke at Refuge Point, while Horde players will have to look for Rutherford Twing at Hammerfall. Battleground Holidays will also be kicking off that same week. Players will get to earn additional Honor and Reputation points by participating in specific battlegrounds. Blizzard promises to post the schedule next week.
 
The Arathi Basin Battleground illustrates this struggle for control through a capture point PvP extravaganza. Two teams of 15 players compete against each other in an attempt to hold more points and gain resources than their opponent. Arathi Basin is based on the conflict of the supply forces for both factions in central Eastern Kingdoms. The two factions battle over the natural resources of the basin in order to get said resources for their faction. You can earn reputation and buy rewards from the League of Arathor and Defilers factions. Players gain resources by capturing and fighting near nodes that are of strategic importance. The Arathi Basin has a variety of nodes named after actual resource-baring locations. Players will fight to defend a gold mine, a lumber mill, a farm, a blacksmith, and a stable.
 
Both Zul’Gurub and the Dragons of Nightmare world bosses will be arriving sometime in April — he doesn’t give a specific date, so we don’t currently know if they’ll be starting at the same time or staggered from each other. Zul’Gurub is a 20 player raid, which was pretty unique back in the original game. Releasing it at around the same time as the Dragons of Nightmare is pretty reasonable, as it will allow groups to more quickly gear up for their push into the 20 and 40 player Ahn’Qiraj raids that will be coming after them. The Dragons in particular drop nature resistance gear that is crucial for guilds who intend to get past Princess Huhuran and make their way to C’thun, WoW‘s first Old God boss. Dragons of Nightmare: there are four green dragons (Emeriss, Lethon, Taerar, Ysondre) that appear in Emerald Portals located in Feralas, Duskwood, Hinterlands, and Ashenvale. Defeating them will earn you some useful Nature Resistance and PvE gear.
