This is the home stretch for players who wish to qualify for the next stage in the Arena Tournament, where the top 1000 teams will move on. Players looking to obtain Murkimus the Gladiator need to play 200 games between March 10 to April 6, while players aiming for the Vanquisher title need to get within the top 1,000 teams within the same time period. Currently, the 1,000th team on US Tournament Realms is hovering around 1,600 rating so finishing somewhere between 1,700-1,800 would probably be a safe bet for the title. Good luck to everyone!

Damn, if I had known I could have gotten a pet I would have joined just to try it out.

While I appreciate the info... Arena still is an evil bastard child invention of Bliz.

Yep, should've been kept on separate servers from the start. With their own class balancing and development completely separated from the real servers.

This tourney has been great fun.
In regards to the post yesterday about number of arena teams on the decline - Please remember that the new rating system punishes team hopping and new teams for their first 50 games or so. This cut down significantly on the number of teams being created, ie total teams.
I would venture a guess that the number of actual players, not total teams, is relatively the same.

Our apologies, this article was meant to be posted on whywowsucks.com- a site dedicated purely to WoW Arena.

Of course Melchior, because isolated PvP that tests skill is ruining WoW, PvE must be the only allowed combat so that Melchior never has to deal with his slow reactions/lack of skill in pvp.
