Upcoming World of Wacraft expansion (Wrath of the Lich King) will feature a large area dedicated to PvP, Blizzard has revealed.
A "cool part of Northrend is new big PvP zone. It's about the size of Westfall, and will be all-PvP - in no way, shape or form will we support PvE players in it", the developer's Jeff Kaplan has told PC Zone.
He continued, "It'll be optional, but it'll be completely non-instanced, have multiple objectives, siege weapons and destructible buildings".
In the interview, Kaplan went on to promise that WoW adventurers will have their socks blown off when they first enter the new continent of Northrend.
"We absolutely need to make the entry to Northrend epic", he said. "...we originally had the entry to Burning Crusade's Dark Portal as a bunch of cohorts waling around, and people reacted badly. This really hammered home the fact that we needed to raise expectations on entering the expansions".
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is expected to launch this year, though Blizzard has yet to confirm when.

Funny thing how people that are creating Warhammer is the same company that created Dark Age of Camelot . Which is the game that Blizzard copied alot of idea's from . World pvp content of realm versus realm actually has came from Mythic way long before World of Warcraft has been released . World of Warcraft next expansion is way too long of a wait when Age of Conan is right around the corner with real time combat system from real human animation . Good Bye Cartoons games .
