Is Blizzard Really Short-changing PvP?
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009 - 8 Comments
We dedicated players can bicker all we want about Arena balance or Rogues being over-powered, but what about the presence of PvP available in the game itself? When you have a game as popular as World of Warcraft, you’re bound to attract the ire of ... More
Blizzard Returning To Battlegrounds
Thursday, July 30th, 2009 - 34 Comments
I love Ghostcrawler (again). Not only does he have one of the coolest jobs around (one which likely made him grow a thick skin and an endless supply of ponies) at one of my favorite developers, but he gets to help design, create and then ... More

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 - 24 Comments
As a dedicated progression raider, I may only PvP once in a blue moon, but when I do it’s almost always in a Battleground. To be frank, the beating handed down for my first and only Arena match several years ago was enough to let ... More
