Battle of Gilneas


Battle for Gilneas is a new battleground introduced in the upcoming Cataclysm, set in the Kingdom of Gilneas. There is a limit of 40 players playing this battleground at a time. Requires level 81-85 to play this battleground.

Note: The original design of the battleground was intended to be set in Gilneas City and revolve around attempting to conquer the highest number of districts, but after internal playtesting it was deemed "unsalvageable" and completely reworked in a fashion similiar to Arathi Basin.

Video note: Here is what will become known as a very early beta version of the Battle of Gilneas, which is basically a reskinned version of the Arathi Basin battleground as proven by the chat text in the video.
