Blizzard put up some more on their proposed up and coming battlegrounds today on their [web site](http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/pvp/battlegrounds-part2.html). Looks really cool to me but wanted to get other peoples opinions on it. What do you think? -XT (jr) ---

My only concern is that it sounds like you’ll have to committ a pretty big chunk of time to a battle to achieve anything, and I can’t do that too often. Still, it sounds like a lot of fun. Especially gaining rep and calling in air strikes and such. 😃 ---

I’m excited about the pvp quests. I normally loathe pvp, because of the immaturity of most people who commit random ‘ganks’. (is this xtisme’s kid again? I noticed the (jr).) ---

Yes, it was my son. I appologize…I didn’t realize that family members couldn’t use our accounts. My wife also occationally uses my account to post. My son is 16 btw, if anyone is interested…my second oldest. He’s a good kid and I’ve told him not to post anymore using my account. I’ll get him his own if he wants to post regularly in future. Again, my appologies to all. Mods can close this thread too if they feel the need…doesn’t seem much interest in this game though. 🙂 -XT ---

Shame about the pizza thread though…that one could have been good. 🙂 -XT ---

Get him his own account=) I am sort of looking foreward to trying the battlegrounds once, but PVP isnt really what I look for. I dont mind defencing Astraanar from a horde raid, but I dont think I really want to be part of a huge battle. I really like interacting on a smaller level. ---

I am so amped up about this. If anyone has played Command and Conquer Renegade, this is what it reminds me of. **aruvqan** , you don’t like to fight other players? Well, you can always be a supply wench! 😉 Frankly, I LOVE PvP; there are some spells that are just designed for it (Like mind controlling enemy players and causing them to leap to their deaths off Zeppelins 😃 ) ---

I’ve been playing Warcraft 3 in between WoW sessions to catch up on the story. The thought of seeing an Ancient of War tear it up makes me drool. I don’t have any characters anywhere near high enough level though… ---

I am cautiously excited about it. The few mass-level battles I’ve been in have been slideshows for me, though, so I’m worried about whether my computer or their servers are up to the task. If they are, it sounds fookin brilliant. Daniel
