Prior to the Wrath of the Lich King, was a one-dimensional aspect of World of Warcraft. The Outlands had a few simple tasks like retaking Haala or killing opponents and taking the towers or beacons in Zangarmarsh, Hellfire or the Terokkar Forest. The objectives were easy, the reward was minimal, and it was often zone-wide, so everyone received it. For this reason, very few did them. There was also no reason to join in if a dozen other players did it for you.
When Wrath of the Lich King hit the shelves, all of that changed. The game started emphasizing more advanced, real time battles in World PvP. Lake Wintergrasp was the first real time PvP battle zone. This new zone has players facing off in epic battles on the live server and getting rewarded handsomely. Some of the rare and valuable rewards are items such as the new Heirloon that can be used on any character of any level.
In addition to the way in which the game now works, many players can get directly involved. This includes a slew of different ways in which players can take advantage of weaknesses of their opponents. Players can now use PvP to get into PvE content and then get rewarded with everything from Emblems of Heroism to the rare and valuable Season 5 Gear.
While there are new PvP objectives and World PvP options in Grizzly Hills as well, you are only going to hear about Lake Wintergrasp. Blizzard has put into place more options than ever before to get players involved, ensuring that the content remains fresh and relevant, and to build up a means by which they can grow their PvP options to compete with other MMOs built entirely on PvP.
As the popularity of Lake Wintergrasp dicates, World PvP is here to stay. You can expect a whole slew of new options in future patches and expansions added to real world PvP as the game gets more depth. Expect that your skill level now will have a huge impact on how you perform in the future as well, especially if you want to start getting the top rewards and achievements.
