The Arena: Are you not entertained?


Imagine the Superbowl, UFC, WWE and The Jerry Springer Show all rolled into one. Add a couple of big cartoony dudes in armor, add a couple of sharp, pointy weapons, one part hardcore gamer, and you've got yourself the PvP arena, one of the more sought-after features we've been talking about for World of Warcraft's The Burning Crusade expansion.

And while we won't be seeing this just yet in-game, WoW's main site's just opened up a new section which will be covering the Arena's features, rules and point system. For now, we introduce the two available arena areas for your party's next bloodbath.

The Ring of Trials

  • Location: Nagrand, south-east of Garadar

  • Theme: Ancient orcish proving ground

  • Special: One minute into the match, a cyclone appears and adds some spin to the fight.

  • Shadow Sight: After five minutes, two Shadow Sight power-ups appear that let you see stealthed and invisible characters, but it also does a little damage to you. Use it wisely.

The Circle of Blood

  • Location: Blade's Edge Mountains, north of Thunderlord Village
  • Theme: Ogrish arena
  • Shadow Sight: After five minutes, two Shadow Sight power-ups appear that let you see stealthed and invisible characters, but it also does a little damage to you. Use it wisely.

Like we said, this is just a sliver of what's waiting for the next contender in the arena. For the nitty-gritty details on the combat rules, the party-building FAQ, and other concerns, read up on the main article, lest you wish to be the arena's next wallpaper/paintjob.
