Will this area deliver for world PvP?
Or will it just be a similar Halaa/spirit tower/siege engine
novelty that will wear off and be a wasteland a few weeks
after people hit 80?
Discuss, especially any of you beta players!

wonderful concept, i guess it depends on your server. For those that rolled on a pve server and miss pvp and dont wanna be confined to the bgs this is heaven. Best to just wait and see.

I'm hoping it gets a thumbs up. I likes me some fightin'!
The big problem with the Spirit Towers & Halaa is that they are meant for toons in the mid 60s -- but lots of people (me included...) would rather just keep leveling since there is nothing you get from Halaa that you won't be replacing pretty quick anyway.
Wintergrasp has two things going for that shows Blizz learns from their mistakes. First Wintergrasp is an 80s PvP zone, so there will be lots of people ready to be conscripted. Second, the equivalent of the Elemental Plateau is in Wintergrasp, so there will be something to draw people in other than just fighting -- but once the fighting starts, they'll likely stop farming primals (or whatever) and jump into the fray.

I mean it looks very well done,the siege weapon animations and effects are outstanding.
Unlike other world PvP areas,Lake Wintergrasp is an entire jumbo sized zone. Also has giant siege weapons,with destructible buildings.

I think that it will be a lot of fun... And the novelty will allow it to thrive for a good while into the expansion. Where I think that Wintergrasp will run into problems is in staying power, which translates into the "well, what does it do for me?" aspect.
It probably needs to supply some of the "best in slot" pvp rewards with each arena season as well as some sort of faction pve buff to retain its relevance several months into WotLK. I'm really looking forward to Wintergrasp, but I hope that it has enough of an impact on the level 80 game from an pve and pvp standpoint to keep everyone coming back for more.
