During the World of Warcraft PvP panel at buy wow gold BlizzCon, a discussion of the team's philosophy behind PvP took place, followed by new details on the upcoming arenas, the new battleground, and Lake Wintergrasp. The new arenas were first unveiled at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Paris earlier this year, but we were able to see them at BlizzCon in the form of short videos that followed Lead Level Designer Cory Stockton's introductions.

The first of the new arenas is The Ring of Valor, a site consecrated especially for mortal combat between the bravest warriors in Orgrimmar. The combatants in the Ring of Valor arena rise up from their underground preparation chamber via moving platforms, until they are taken to the ring, where the enemy, along with some dangerous surprises, await.

The two defining features behind the Ring of Valor are the fire hazards and the moving pillars. Splitting the arena into three sections are a pair of arena-length ground strips that periodically erupt into flames. There are visual cues as to when these fire hazards will go off, including opening doors and moving buy wow gold gears in the background. On either end of the arena you can also find a single pillar that rises and falls in sync with the fire hazards. When up, the pillars provides a line-of-sight obstruction, useful for keeping ranged enemies from firing on you, or frustrating if you're the one trying to chase after a scampering Druid.

Coordinated team play is a factor that the design team takes seriously, and they've made artistic choices specially catered towards promoting communication between buy wow gold teammates. The two pillars bear a unique texture on top, so if you're told that an enemy rogue is spotted near the Horn Pillar, or that a healer is needed at the Axe pillar, you can bypass the confusion of using the cardinal directions.
