PvP System please?!

[Legacy-ashbringer]

With certainty I can tell you it will be Phase 2, the moment you earn ranks you are eligible for rank-associated gear, therefore we’ll be able to get the potions, tabards, trinkets and indeed blue and epic gear.

That is phase 2, and the itemization of said gear will be the 1.12 variant which makes it quite strong, in time for Phase 3 and the BWL launch.

Here’s a quote from a blue:

@Kheluriel-2617

Phase 1 (WoW Classic Launch)

You can PvP one another in the world, but there is no tracking, and no formal rewards for doing so.

Phase 2

Honor System (including Dishonorable Kills)

PvP Rank Rewards

Phase 3

Alterac Valley (version 1.12 )

Warsong Gulch

Phase 4

Arathi Basin

Phase 6

World PvP objectives in Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands

(…)

@Kheluriel-2617

That’ll change once phase 2 rolls around and we add the Honor System, which will introduce Honorable Kills, Dishonorable Kills, and PvP Rank Rewards. The items you earn from the PvP Rank Rewards will be the versions from patch 1.12. Keep in mind though, just as it did originally, it will require a substantial time investment to rank up through the Honor System. For those interested in the Rank Rewards, earning epic gear will require consistent dedication over a long period of time as a top contributor on your realm. We don’t expect to see many people running around with these items early on, but we’re certain Hillsbrad Foothills will still see its fair share of action!

I have been following the Classic Discussion forum religiously since last year (since before the change), and at one point I remember the Blue Thread about the Classic PvP Content Phases being unpinned and consequently lost to inactivity, but I had history in posting there on my ex-retail main so I was able to dig it up. Here you go.
