Here's one for all of you hardcore Battlegrounds fans out there!
Love your Battlegrounds? Not much experience in Alterac Valley? Don't worry! Have a look at this excellent AV reference guide posted on the Blizzard forums!
Alterac Valley (AV) is a battleground located in the Alterac Mountains. Its capacity is 40 horde players and 40 alliance, fighting across a pretty big battlefield littered with graveyards, bunkers and various other features.
The main thing which distinguishes AV from the other battlegrounds is the strong NPC presence, as well as the secondary objectives and quests which can be done inside it. Some people dislike the concept, others such as me, love it. This gives AV a different style of play completely to the other battlegrounds, as you have to overcome not only the enemy players but also the NPCs and static defences which are in place.
You can read the guide and also the comments about it in this forum thread here!
