This is going to be a huge patch. There are a lot of changes, and talent respecs on all characters. 50 line items per character class in the patch notes. And a new profession.

Another Brewfest celebration has come and gone and we had a lot of fun joining in the revelry. We killed Coren Direbrew enough times that everyone got almost everything they wanted.

There are 2 great locations to farm Motes of Mana.

The Midsummer Fire Festival is here again. This year the Festival runs from June 21 – July 4, and has several new events/quests.

Eye of the Storm is sort of a combination of Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin. Each team tries to control as many of the 4 towers as they can, the more towers you have the faster your points amass. There is also 1 flag in the middle. You score additional points by capturing the flag inside one of the towers controlled by your team. The points awarded per flag capture depend on how many towers your team controls. The first team to 2000 points wins.

Alterac Valley is a very large Battleground. There are several graveyards, keeps/garrisons, bunkers, outposts, towers, and sentry posts to attack and gain control of. You win by reducing the opposing team’s reinforcements to zero. You do this by killing enemy players, capturing towers/bunkers, and killing captains. The fastest way to win is to kill the enemy general, this immediately ends the round.

Arathi Basin is all about controlling the resources. You collect resources by gaining control of the 5 different bases: Stables, Lumber Mill, Gold Mine, Blacksmith and Farm. The more bases you control the faster your team’s resources amass. The first team to reach 2000 resources wins.

WSG is a straight forward game of capture the flag. The team that captures the other team’s flag 3 times wins.

World of Warcraft has a few different PVP options available to those not on a PVP server. You can challenge someone to a Duel. Form an Arena team. Or join a Battleground.

The new WoW 2.4.0 patch is finally here.
