So what exactly can gamers expect from this classic version of "World of Warcraft?" Like the previous game that was released in 2004, the "WoW Classic" will be released to the public with no formal PVP system. There’s no need to worry for the players. Blizzard said players will still be able to go out and kill any players, but they won’t be rewarded or penalized for what they have done. In phase two of the update, Blizzard will be adding PVP Rank Rewards, Honorable Kills, and Dishonorable Kills.
Phase three of the update will bring more action as Blizzard will bring Battlegrounds. Here, players will also experience the newly added Alterac Valley and Warsong Gulch. Additionally, Blizzard will be adding new vendors in phase four.
Phase four will introduce the Arathi Basin Battlegrounds. And then in phase six, Blizzard will be releasing the world PVP objectives in Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands.
