Honor System.?

[BrissPvP]

I was wondering will the honor system be open at the start? I think it should be closed till like 200 60s on each faction.. just so the first 60s wont get high ranks really easy.. idk.. i think vanilla servers are unfair because the first 60s get a jump on the ranks before everyone else.. even 1 week makes a difference (16,000 Rank Points will be Easy at First week)

it sounds like a good idea, but imo we should at the very leastbe waiting until like a month after the first 10 guys hit 60 comes out so most people who plan to play more than 12 hours a week are gonna be 60

honor system wasn't implemented in retail until patch 1.4, and dire maul was 1.3, and battlegrounds didnt come until 1.5

having WSG and AB avalible at the start is going to make progression slightly easier, and I hope they check to see if stuff like WSG/AV bandages and food are usable outside of the respective battlegrounds(bandages are on Rebirth, foe example)

True, from the patch 1.1.0 (7 November 2004) to the 1.4.0 (8 April 2005) exactly 5 months have passed.
We have to see if you'll want to take on Nostalrius this time before you can use the pvp.
In my opinion It would make more sense to wait at least 2,5 months, so there would not be need to leave it closed (if already opened at server launch) until those hypothetical "200 player on each faction" reach the level 60.

Maybe they should keep it closed till you guys all get T3, will you feel safer then?

[Moxey]

have it open instantly, gaining ranks while leveling is fun.

[Trolle]

Or lock away just the honor system but let the BGs be up for people to PVP in

Agreed, t3 till honor system, but what if they still feel unsafe... To be continued

The PvP Battleground Alterac Valley or Events (Silithus silithysts and Plaguelands tower) will not be available right away. Warsong Gluch and Arathi Basin will be the only Battlegrounds available at launch without restriction. The PvP honor system will also be fully available at launch (the players waited 5 months on retail to have it). Alterac Valley will be opened 3 months after server opening. Since we also want to let you experiment epic PvP battles outside Battlegrounds, we may organize events to reproduce the huge battles you miss now.

So... if Viper "keeps his word", we should have a functional PvP honor system at launch x) !!
