The Eye of the Storm is a 15-man battleground available from level 61 to 70 and is located in the Outlands's Netherstorm. Unlike the other battlegrounds though, you may not enter this battleground through a normal entrance, instead, you will need to queue at one of the many battle masters in the cities.

Basics

Eye of the Storm plays like a combination of World PVP, Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch. How is this possible? Let's analyze all the mechanics Eye of the Storm has and why it is so unique when compared to the other battlegrounds. To win, your faction must collect 2000 Victory Points which can be earned through various methods.

Tower Control: First and foremost, you need to control towers with the assistance of your raid group. There's 4 towers scattered around for you to control. The more you secure, the faster you earn Victory Points. It is recommended you hold at least 2 before attempting the other methods. To gain control of a tower, you must stand near the tower's flag point and have the marker move to your "side" (horde, alliance), it will let you know when you have capped the tower with an announcement in the battleground. If you're taking an enemy's tower, then you will need to wait twice as long to first slip it out of their control and then into yours. It is recommended you max out the meter to your side so you and your allies have the maximum amount of time to rush and defend should it be under attack. When you take control or capture a tower it is generally referred to as "capping" it (short for capturing), so may times you will see messages such as "G2 cap BE". This would mean that Group 2 should capture the Blood Elf tower.

Flag: The flag always starts in the middle of the battleground. It takes 10 seconds to pick up the flag from the center point and you must then make your way to a tower that your faction holds. Once you reach that tower you turn in the flag by simply standing on the flag platform there. Similar to other flag capture battlegrounds you can be interrupted by any damage you take while trying to pick up the flag. Also, you can't mount but you can cat form / ghost wolf form, so all Warsong Gulch flag-running strategies are applicable here.

There is no faction for Eye of the Storm, so your gains will be in pure Honor and Eye of the Storm tokens.

Points

Points are awarded for the two point generating methods above in the following fashion.

Towers generate points every 2 seconds (called a tick) for each team. The more towers you control the more points you earn.

By capturing the flag you also gain points for your faction. The points you earn are directly based on the number of towers that you control.
