Locations for PvP Combat

You can get into PvP combat in various different settings. Knowing something about the different settings will help you find or avoid combat as you wish, and help you understand what others mean when they talk about battlegrounds or World PvP or whatever. Keep reading for a super-fast introduction to each setting:

Fighting Duels

Duels are voluntary one-on-one battles. You can duel pretty much anywhere you want, except within cities. You'll often find players who are looking for a duel hanging around outside the entrances to major cities looking for someone to challenge.

The Battlegrounds

Horde and Alliance go at it in the battlegrounds, competing to win battles and earn marks. Marks serve as a sort of money that you can trade for various items, including better PvP gear. You can exchange marks for stuff at the special PvP vendor shops.

The Arenas

Arena combat is organized team versus team combat in the form of an ongoing tournament. Teams (2v2, 3v3, 5v5) battle against other teams of the opposing faction as well as against teams of their own faction. You become a member of a team to fight in the arena and earn Arena Points as a team.

Random Combat

Random combat can happen whenever you run into an enemy player who has their PvP flag set. In PvP realms, that flag is always set, except in a few protected areas, you're always open to attack. You can manually turn your PvP flag on and off by typing /pvp. Regardless of what you do, various situations and locations will turn your PvP flag on automatically, even if you aren't playing in a PvP realm.

World PvP

Some zones have goals that involve PvP. To complete these you'll need to be ready to fight. Zones with these kinds of goals include, the Eastern Plaguelands, Silithus, Hellfire Peninsula, Zangarmarsh, Terokkar Forest, and Nagrand.

The PvP Zones

Wintergrasp is the first of a new type of zone that is totally dedicated to PvP combat. This zone seems to be real popular, so expect more like it in the future.
