Blizzard gives preview of the Isle of Conquest battleground

Since I can't abide PvP, this new battleground is kind of "meh" for me.

I'm much more pumped about the new druid animal forms coming in the same patch. :-)

I am still hoping that Blizzard will "wake up and smell the coffee" some patch soon and retool the original (Deadmines to Dire Maul) instances for solo players somehow....

don't hold your breath..this is the only thing so far they have not gone back on their word about..

As stated before, they will not make instances for the solo player as they want players to work together in their game...

Come to Lotro...we have end game solo instances with more on the way.

You may be right, Poxus, but WoW did a lot to make to lower-level content more accessible to new players (changing elite areas and bosses to nonelite so they can now be soloed). The original regions (i.e., "old Azeroth") are all but vacant of players. Trying to form groups for instances in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms is all but impossible nowadays.

Thus, Blizzard's "encouraging" players to form groups for these instances by keeping them as "player group only" in fact translates into players just not going into them, which is a shame, imo.

The same holds true for LotRO, though it is marginally better than WoW in some ways in this regard.

The game that "fixes" this problem first is probably where I'll end up.
