How to get started in Battlegrounds

To access the Battlegrounds, click on your EQII menu button! It will be there listed up at the top!

You can join as a full group, part of a full group, or all by yourself.

A further tip from Frizznik: Have your friendly neighborhood tradeskiller make you some of the special crafted Battlegrounds armor with the toughness stat. It will greatly increase your survivability.

Battlegrounds, pre-season, is launching today after the downtime!

I got a little excited and posted this a tad early, but it totally applies now!

You can also hit alt+z on your keyboard to bring up the menu!

You can queue solo, as a group, or as a raid!

They'll be expanded in future updates. From what I know the first (highly likely but no promises cause it's an estimate) tier expansion should be with the next GU around May.

This is because there are major issues with BG at the moment and no one can get in or out while they try to fix things, I think.

At the moment, there are tons of reports, cross servers that if you enter the Battlegrounds it will reset your AA down to 200 if you have more than 200. What are the plans to fix this and if possible, an ETA? Will you give us a heads up when it is safe to enter the BGs and what can those that were effected and had their AA's dropped to 200 do to get them back?

There's a thread about this already that we're keeping updated.
