Arathi Basin is a new BG that will be added in patch 1.7. Read more about it here

    The Basic Concept
  • Both sides of up to 15 players each compete to occupy the five resource nodes spread throughout Arathi Basin.
  • Each claimed node generates resources for the owning team. The more nodes your team controls, the quicker you gain natural resources. The first team that gains 2,000 resources wins.
  • Both the winning and losing team earn honor after completing an Arathi Basin Battleground, as accumulated resources translate directly into bonus honor for players. Even if you don't win the Battleground, you walk away with honor.
  • As players compete, they will improve their reputation with the Defilers or League of Arathor, thereby earning many new and powerful rewards.
  • Arathi Basin is banded by level, just like Warsong Gulch. The minimum level to join is 21, and different instances will spawn for players between levels 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, and 51-60.

Cool! So far I had only looked at the exclusive Korean content about Arathi Basin. Now I can read the text without it being mangled by Babelfish...

In the upcoming patch, we will be changing the level ranges of two Battlegrounds. Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin will now be level-banded as follows:



20-29

30-39

40-49

50-59

60




I can not believe how well they listen to the players!

I agree Cyrus. I recall this suggestion coming out from players shortly after Alterac and WG being released, especially to place 60s in their own grouping as they would simply dominate any 51 given they have access to most of the top end gear that a 58-59 may not. Granted, a 58-59 should still beat up on a 51 99/100 times, this still adds much to the balance of the BGs.

I wish they would enforce the level bands, though.
Last night we had a Lvl 41 Rogue in the 31-40 WSG BG. He had no idea how he got in...

Edward
likes the change though, Lvl 40 people with their mounts are the kings of the 31-40 band in WSG
