Latest patch for Blizzard's MMORPG will give testers access to an all-out Horde-Alliance war.

Blizzard announced today it is opening up a new realm for beta testers of its upcoming MMORPG, World of Warcraft. However, unlike previous areas, the new realm will have one purpose--to test player-versus-player combat.

"This new player-versus-player realm is an all-out Horde vs. Alliance server, where the factions can finally battle!" read a release from Blizzard. Besides allowing players in the game's two factions--the benevolent Alliance and the malevolent Horde--to flense each other to ribbons, it will also let the WoW development team work the kinks out of PvP combat.
