Remembering the Fourth War in World of Warcraft:

The Fourth War in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth was the largest open world Massive Multiplayer campaign since Wintergrasp in Wrath of the Lich King.

Hundreds of thousands of individual players took part in the Incursions, open world battles and structured Battle for Nazjatar. With the possible exception of Wintergrasp, a 120 versus 120 battle space in Wrath of the Lich King this period marked the most extensive and sustained fighting in World of Warcraft!

Battles involved an unlimited number of players and took place every three hours.

BATTLE FOR NAZJATAR

Battle for Nazjatar was a special World PvP event across all of Nazjatar in Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara.

RUIN organized a powerful Alliance coalition, over seventeen thousand members joined the RUIN Warmode Communities in addition to our thirty two full and active traditional guilds established on all high population realms. Coordination of battles throughout the day required a strong, capable officer corps and active well trained Alliance force.
