WORLD UPDATES
WoW Forever PvP and Darkspear Islands
Forever keeps familiar PvP ranks but changes how progress is tracked. Blizzard describes Honor and Rank Points as separate parts of the system.
Honor and Rank Points
Honor comes from PvP kills, battlegrounds, and relevant PvP quests. Rank Points feed longer-term rank progress. Blizzard also says highlighted battleground holiday weeks award extra Honor. The exact reward rates and season pacing still need a current in-game check.
Darkspear Islands
Darkspear Islands is a new 15v15 battleground off the coast of Dustwallow Marsh for levels 30 to 60. Teams fight over four capture points and a central flag. The first side to 2,000 points wins.
What to verify before you queue
Read the current queue rules, gear rewards, and Rank Point requirements in the client. Those numbers can change during beta, and an old guide will not tell you whether a reward or weekly task is still active.
