The Tournament Test Realm (TTR) has been running alongside the World of Warcraft's Public Test Realm (PTR) for a little less than a week and well, we have seen a good number of improvements since it was first released. Today's happy Arena update involves a worldwide event (read: a REAL worldwide in-game event).
Blizzard poster Tyren made an announcement on the WoW Forums regarding an upcoming event:
Are you ready to take on the world in the arenas? The World of Warcraft team will be testing the WoW Arena Tournament on the Tournament Test Realm, and you are invited to be a part of the action. Players in all regions will access the same realm, so the call is going out to all PvPers in North America, Europe, and Korea to log into the Arena Tournament Test Realm and participate in all-out PvP action!
According to Tyren, the Worldwide Arena Battle will be held this Sunday from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM PST. The event will also feature an all out battle between community managers from the different regions. The poster noted that no character copies are needed for this event since players "will get access to the character and gear of your choice just by logging in."
And one last thing, you'll be needing the World of Warcraft 2.4 PTR patch to access the TTR so you better download it now.
