They attempt to allow balanced numbers into each instance, however, this is not always the case. The order in which players are allowed in is determined by a waiting queue. To enter the queue, the player must either step through the instance portal, or he must seek out a [[Battlemaster]], which can be found in any capital city.

| − | The objective of Arathi Basin is to be the first side to amass 2000 victory points. Points are automatically awarded every few moments to each side in increments of 10. Players interact with flag at each of five bases--the [[Stables]], the [[Lumber Mill]], the [[Blacksmith]], the [[Gold Mine]] and the [[Farm]]--in order to capture the base. The more bases your side controls, the faster you rack up points. It is easiest for the Horde to hold the Farm and the Alliance to hold to Stables, as these lie directly outside their respective starting locations. The Blacksmith is typically the most difficult to hold, as it lies in the center of the map. |

There are 4 bases on the map, each of which will grant your team victory points over time. To speed up the process, a flag is located in the center of the map which you can bring to one of the bases you control. Doing so will grant you about 100 victory points. First to 2000 points wins. |
