With server maintenance just clearing up not too long ago, we imagine the guys are seriously itching to grab their much-awaited Arena Season 3 gear over at Area 52.

Unfortunately, you also know what this means - horrendous slowdowns, potential crashes, and other sorts or errors when World of Warcraft's player population congregate in just one spot.
 
Thankfully, blue-texter Drysc dropped by the WoW forums recently to clarify that aside from Area 52, players can opt to purchase their season 3 gear from three other locations. Quoting the Blizzard spokesman's announcement:

For your Season 3 buying pleasure, vendors will be made available in some additional locations. If you want to avoid the crowds in Area 52 there will be vendors selling the same items outside of the Nagrand and Blade's Edge arenas, as well as in the town of Gadgetzan.

We recommend visiting these alternate locations to ensure you're able to view and purchase the items with the least amount of interference, both from visual lag, and trigger happy players.
