About Arathi Basin
Arathi Basin is the original battleground of bases to hold, 15 against 15 in Forever. Blizzard has not named it for Forever yet, though it did describe the new Darkspear Islands as having "Arathi Basin-style flag captures". Icy Veins lists it for launch, so treat it as reported until Blizzard says so.
From level 20. Icy Veins gives its brackets as 20–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59 and 60.
Where to queue. Find the Battlemasters in Stormwind or Orgrimmar. Queues mix the Normal, PvP and RP rulesets.
