EverQuest 2 is bringing on the battleground action. This is no ordinary PvP fighting though. Everquest 2 is taking the battleground fun and making it cross server. That’s right, fight your irritating neighbors no matter what server they are on. This just might give WoW a run for it’s money on the battleground front. Then again, WoW is like crack.
