Warsong Gulch is one of the Battlegrounds in the World of Warcraft that is available very early on while leveling a character. In fact starting at level 10, you can join the Warsong Gulch queue and see what PvP is all about. While taking out opposing faction members is fun, the main objectives in WSG are capturing your opponent's flag, defending and retrieving your flag from the enemy, and winning the first to three competition.
As of patch 3.2 you have been able to gain experience in Battlegrounds. This means that if PvP is your thing, you can do it almost exclusively and still level up a character. The experience you gain is based on the level bracket you are in and is granted for different accomplishments. For example in the level 70 bracket you gain about 6,000 experience for capturing a flag. This obviously is less at lower levels. You also gain experience for killing flag carriers and winning the battleground.
You can find all the details in our Warsong Gulch Battleground Guide.
