New World of Warcraft world PvP content preview  by James B at 13:17

PC
World of Warcraft IGN have a small article up covering some of the expected world PvP changes Blizzard will be introducing in patch 1.12. The patch will focus on adding world PvP to higher level zones such as Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands.

In Silithus, the objective revolves around collecting dust, called "silithyst," and players will activate the geysers to collect the silithysts. You get a nice "buff" (stat boost) when you turn in the resources, but you'll be flagged as a PvP player as soon as you pick the stuff up, making you attackable by anyone in the opposing faction while you attempt to make your way back the Field Duty camps associated with the Cenarion Hold faction quests. If you manage to turn in enough of the dust, all of your fellow faction members in the zone will gain a buff as well, including those in the "AQ20" Ahn'Qiraj dungeon.

** Update **
There's also plans for cross server battlegrounds in the next patch and there's four new screenshots that will surely mean something to WoW players in our gallery.

Surely this is only really going to effect the RP servers (the first section of news). As Silithyst is a contested zone. So you can PVP there anyway.

Quite like the idea of cross server battlefrounds. Now I'm in a decent guild anyways.

World PVP will be totally different Scrappy. People can take over certain areas of the PVP zones now and keep control of them in certain ways. It sounds like a good attempt at bringing world pvp back to how it was before battlegrounds were introduced and killed it off. World PVP was always way more fun and involved masses of people battleing it out before the battlegrounds contained it all.
