“Deep within the blustery land of Snowpine Reach, a bitter rivalry between the Wingar and the Ursids threatens to spill across the zone, putting all manner of innocent people at risk of death or injury if the situation isn’t placated. It is now up to heroes like you end the stalemate by assisting one of these two rivals in decimating their enemies. While having either race free to intimidate the Snowpine Peak region as a whole may not be optimal, it is preferable to having both factions battling across the land and leaving devastation in their wake.”
Faction selection begins at level 40; at that point, you can hop into the battlegrounds twice per week to earn points for your side with a bit of old-school Alterac Valley flavor.
The whole shebang launches on May 23rd.
