Welcome to GH, BITCH.

World PvPers, your dreams are coming true.


Ever wonder what it must've been like to be there for the first time some brilliant lad combined peanut butter and chocolate? I bet there was a sense of awe and satisfaction; finding a way to combine two great things into one better thing.

Here in the Beta, I am first-hand experiencing that sense of wonder and awe, and I can't stop smiling over it.

But to fully understand this moment let's go back in time abit, shall we?

On the 25th of March, Blizzard released its final big patch before WotLK content. 2.4.0, the Fury of the Sunwell. The big draw in this patch was a whole new outdoor area, The Isle of Quel'Danas, which housed a brand new instance and a huge raid to trump the Black Temple.

For most regular WoW Joes though, the Isle (also known as IQD) drew more attention for its dailies. up to ten easy and close packed dailies that could easily fund folks seeking to improve their gear, power level a profession or save for that long-desired Epic Flyer.

Of course as these folks wandered upon the shores of IQD for the first time, with visions of Gold in their heads, others were arriving as well.

The Anarchists. The Bored. The Unsavory.

Gankers.

For them, easy honor and a few laughs meant way more than Gold, and they were determined to get their pound of flesh.

To this day IQD is jokingly referred to by many as the Isle of QQ. The money hungry stayed, as did the Gankers. From an area designed with PvE in mind came the greatest World PvP spot to be implemented in the game.

Now let's return to the present. New cap, new continent, new dailies. But not your old fashioned dailies; no no. Ones fashioned with the bloodthirsty in mind.

The area is Grizzly Hill, and until you reach Wintergrasp this is where it is at.

When I first arrived I figured the Alliance were very bored. VERY BORED. Every five seconds the Local Defense was screaming. Blue Sky Logging Grounds, Black River Logging Camp and Venture Bay seem to be very popular places.

When I arrived I found out why.

Each area is a battlefield of Alli Guards at war with Horde Forces, as well as about five dailies each. Each daily has a PvE element to it. For example driving out Venture Company Stragglers or Bandaging wounded soldiers. However each also has a very clear PvP goal as well. Those that don't still take place in the same hectic area, and don't expect care bears.

Dailies and Ganking; our peanut butter and jelly.

Have fun earning that Gold, kids.
