They now have a new news update at the site telling us about the new PvP battlegrounds and the honor system. You have to capture graveyards and towers raid the enemys cty etc.etc.
This is something I am very excited about ......They seem to be adding some strategy to the PvP wich right now is like playing Quake. So hopefully it is soon to come

Wow I just read the small article blizzard put out about battlegrounds, and I became full of joy. What a great idea, seperate areas in which two spawns are at different ends and clashes will be fought in the middle. This will be a perfect PvP system for all the normal and RP servers and could even be good for the PvP servers even though they already have there fighting system. I wanted to play a normal server but also wanted a fun crazy PvP system and this one really jumps at me. Please Blizzard make it and seperate it from the normal world like DAoC but with rewards but not losing your own items.

I just came up with a good idea on how to do rewards for PvP Battlegrounds. Everytime you kill a player a small loot is shown, such as an ear A LA Diablo II. Then we you had enough ears (they could be stackable items) you could go to a merchant in the battlegrounds and purchase things, including potions, weapons, and armor, and the more ears you get, the better item you recieve. I just hope...

 

WEEEEE

Well the honor system will apply outside of the battlegrounds also from what I understand.

So if your lvl 56 and you gank a lvl 36 you will probably lose honor in or out of the battlegrounds.

I just cant wait untill this is implemented!!!

War spares not the brave, but the cowardly.

Thats such BS that you would lose honor for killing someone lower than you... i mean genking is pretty gay but how would the Blizzard servers distiguish between you killing everything that moves right at the battle front (with about 20-30 enemies near by you'd just grab a target and try and kill it) and when someone goes out of his way to continually kill someone alot lower lvl?  If you ahve any ideas plz post... cause i dont.

As far as I'm aware, killing a minority of lower level players won't affect your honor level. Making a habit of doing so will.

I dont think the Honor System would be put into the Battlegrounds, or if so to a lesser degree. I always thought the Honor system was more of a PvP server thing (outside o battlegrounds)

Quick Question - Will Battlegrounds only be in PvP servers because i play in a PvE and i do look forward to it! ty in advance

Don't quote me on that but i think that Battlegrounds will be also aviable in the PvE servers.After all ,they are instanced,so why not ?
I even think there are more appropriate for the PvE server(being instances i mean),and they should do them directly accesible on the PvP servers...Well yeah,this means lag,but hey ....just an idea(and it's not gonna happen )::::14::::::02::

The honor system is probably based by points..if you kill (solo) a person below you, you get less points, someone the same level as you or around there, you get balanced points, and someone above you, you get a lot of points..then if you're in a group and kill another group, you share the amount of "honor points" per kill divisible by the amt. of people in the group.  I'm also to believe that after certain quota's of pts (10,000 25,000 etc) you get skill points (not talent points, something different..) that gives you more skills, better passive skills, etc.  you also have access to rewards as you level up.. but that's just what i "presume" so don't quote me or anything.
