Battleground

From IfWiki

A Battleground is a Instance where players can pvp.

When you enter a battleground, you will be fighting alongside and against players from not only your realm, but from a preformed group of realms. These preformed groups are called battlegroups. Normally you wouldn't ever be able to interact with players on other realms, but thanks to battlegroups, you can meet and play against those players.

Players in a battleground will have their realm name displayed next to their character name in the chat log and score screen. Players from realms other than your own also have a "*" on their name. To send a whisper to a player from a different realm, you can either double-click their name in the Chat Log or use the command /w [playername]-[realmname]. However, other than conjured items, you are unable to trade with players on other realms.
