Blizzard Entertainment’s massively multiplayer game World of Warcraft is extremely popular all over the world. Millions of players log into the online game daily (and nightly) to play as a character in the high-fantasy Warcraft universe, going on quests, gaining experience levels and loot from defeating powerful monsters, and even challenging each other in player-versus-player (PvP) battles between characters of the noble Alliance faction and the monstrous Horde faction.
The big news for World of Warcraft fans is the upcoming Burning Crusade expansion pack, which will offer two brand-new playable races of characters. That"s not all. Burning Crusade will also offer various enhancements to the game’s high-end gameplay, such as dungeons that players raid in large groups, as well as PvP combat. For starters, two major changes are being made to PvP: one, the game’s existing “honor” system is being revamped so that it will no longer be a competitive ladder. Secondly, Burning Crusade will add an all-new form of PvP: an arena combat system, which lets players form teams of two to five players and go up against other teams in designated arenas.
