Blizzard has announced that World of Warcraft Classic’s Arathi Basin battleground will be unlocked on March 11th at 3PM PDT. The date was revealed by Community Manager Bornakk via a forum post. Battleground Holidays will start later that same week which will give players more honor and reputation from battleground participation.

“At 3:00 p.m. PDT (6:00 p.m. EDT) on Wednesday, March 11, we will unlock the Arathi Basin Battleground in WoW Classic. Players who are level 20 or above will be able to queue after this time.

• The League of Arathor faction for the Alliance is in the town of Refuge Pointe in the Arathi Highlands zone. The quartermaster here is Samuel Hawke and he’ll be in the town near the entrance to the Battleground.
• The Defilers faction for the Horde is in the town of Hammerfall in the Arathi Highlands zone. The quartermaster here is Rutherford Twing and he is just north of the town near the entrance to the Battleground.

Later that same week, the Battleground Holidays will be kicking off. These will allow players to earn additional Honor and Reputation while playing a specific Battleground. We’ll post the initial schedule for these next week. Get ready to run to the Blacksmith and good luck!”
