Darkspear Islands is Forever's new 15v15 battleground
- 15 vs 15, with every original battleground staying
- Hold positions around the map, a bit like Eye of the Storm
- Capture with an Arathi Basin style flag, then defend it
- Horde fights with the Darkspear, Alliance with Theramore
Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin and Alterac Valley are all staying, and Forever adds a new battleground on the Darkspear Islands. It's 15 versus 15, the same size as Arathi Basin.
The objective is closer to Eye of the Storm: control strategic positions around the map. Capturing one uses the Arathi Basin flag interaction, and after that you have to defend the flag until the location is secured. Expect plenty of Rogues sitting next to flags waiting for someone to start clicking.
The two sides fit the setting. Horde players fight alongside the Darkspear trolls, Vol'jin's tribe, and Alliance players deploy with the Theramore Expeditionary Force.
A bigger new PvP system was teased as well, but nothing about how it works has been shown. I'll write it up once there's something concrete.
