Cross-realm Arena

[chousterrr]

Hi,

I'm looking to give Lordaeron a shot but am unsure about the PvP state of the realm.

Are the arenas on Lordaeron cross-realm? i.e. do you get queued up against people on Icecrown/Blackrock?

How active is the PvP pop on Lordaeron?

Thanks!

Both arenas and BGs are cross-realm yes, which puts Lordaeron at a disadvantage vs Icecrown and Blackrock players (due to donated gear and easier to get items). PvP pop on Lordaeron is instant due to this, but you'll encounter 2 players from Lord tops in say 20 man BG. Most players from Lord just quit PvP or do it for the sole purpose of first win per day.

If you want to PvP and have somewhat equal ground either go Icecrown to get free heroic offparts/weaps or if you're a diehard PvP fan Blackrock is your game.
