Player vs Player Combat

The Warlords of Draenor expansion introduces a new, large-scale world PvP zone off the coast of Tanaan Jungle. The island of Ashran includes two new faction cities: Warspear for the Horde, and Stormshield for the Alliance. These new towns are the centers of trade, commerce, and transportation for both factions on Draenor. But Ashran also holds an ongoing, never-ending battle in the middle of the island. Ashran features dynamic objectives that shift and change depending on the current status of the battle. You may find yourself on the offensive one moment, and then switching to defensive play and gathering supplies the next. The battle on Ashran is ever-evolving, and has no clear beginning, middle, or end—you can join the battle as you see fit, and leave the battle at any time.

Skirmishes are also available for players that want the challenge of Arena combat without the pressure of earning ranks. You can queue for Skirmishes on your own, or with a group of two or three friends. Although you do not earn ranks for Skirmishes, they do reward honor points and gold, and also have a small chance to reward gear as well.
