World of Warcraft Battlegrounds Preview

IGN PC is offering up a one-page preview of the much anticipated Battlegrounds for World of Warcraft, based upon commentary from Blizzard designer Tom Chilton. A direct quote to follow:
"The Battleground concept is one that has evolved during the course of the game's overall development cycle. There have been a lot of ideas for Battlegrounds that would have been fairly different in direction (and potentially very fun in their own right), but as we refined our thinking on what we thought would be fun, yet still feel like a natural part of the overall game world, we kept moving towards the design we have now.While Alterac Valley will be the first battleground we introduce, there are several other Battlegrounds that are currently in various stages of development. For example, there is a Battleground located in Azshara Crater, and it isn't all that far behind Alterac Valley in its development."
