I've been poking around at Russian Neverwinter forum, and I found this topic started back in May. It seems like those are some leaked unfinished PvP maps.

Since Russains are obsessed with PvP, they even have special PvP contests on thier server:

I don't understand Russian, but most of it can be understood using Google Translate.
Anyhow, I'm a PvE player, and these maps don't really interest me, but I figured I could share this here, since there are certainly PvP players that would be happy about this. I hope I didn't broke any forum rule by doing so.

"Naturally alone maps for domination would not be enough. Therefore planned and other modes."
Initially, cryptic planned 3 PvP domination maps. (hotenow, ruins and the one on the screenshots) First two screenies, you can find in that thread, are the screenies of the second PvP domination map that wasn't implemented due to small border between two camp fires (both teams start in the center of the map) which could be easily abused or exploited. Camp fire camping and other stuff you know...
Also, OP of that thread on russian forums suggests that the devs planned to add more than one PvP mode

This is a screenie of sharandar PvP map named "M3_PvP_Harvesting" http://i62.fastpic.ru/big/2014/0511/17/32404da35c318b57ea5c20dc7d478417.jpg which wasn't implemented too. Looks good to me, got no clue why didn't they add that...
Oh well, that thread basically provides info on what was delayed or sent to the trash can for some reason. I do like the other version of trade of the blades though. http://i61.fastpic.ru/big/2014/0511/0e/b6cca8d455b93ed478c4e816a7e6820e.jpg
P.S russians aren't obessed with PvP. Just one guild ruling that server is.

We are alot of obsessed with pvp even here too, it's a great thing you found here .
I hope our poeple will made something like that here too . This game is awesome for pvp we are alot to love it even if it's not perfect (but what game is ? ).
By the way thanks you and hope to see this here soon too .
Although I have one big fear: matchmaking right now is not very good due to the low amount of players queueing.
If we skew it even further by adding more game modes, we'd have longer queue times and more imbalanced matchmaking than what it is now
I wouldn't mind some the items.
The one thing I enjoyed about SW:TOR is the PvP maps and Hutball .
While the content is the same on Dragon and Drider, they can tweak zen prices, ZAX and events separately.
Well, maybe the will implement those maps at some later date. Maybe they sent them back to the drawing board for some reason. Perhaps they weren't challenging enough.
That deathmatch map looks like it's on ice, meaning that it's slippery, like that slippery place in Icewind Pass.
Since you know Russian, maybe you can take a look at their forum more thoroughly than me, and see if you can find something interesting, and then post it here.
As for saying that Russians are obsessed with PvP, I did not mean to generalise specific group of people as all being the same. That was just my personal opinion based on the fact that in every MMO that I have played, Russian PvP guilds were the most fierce, and thus the best ones in PvP.
I don't lurk through russian forums, I prefer to stay away from those. And from russian players too, usually.
