This week we have released some minor PvP changes to help encourage more participation in Battlegrounds.
We have implemented several new changes to the existing PvP system. There are more changes being discussed internally, but depending on the reception of these additions/adjustments we will decide to continue to produce them for the community. If there is something you'd really like to see implemented, please make a suggestion in the TrueWoW forum suggestion section.

RANK 14 - NEW 15000, OLD 50000, Grand Marshal & High Warlord
In addition to the honor rank title changes; we have enabled the Call to Arms dailies for both factions. Due to some limitations with the PvP queue we've chosen to implement the TBC Battleground Dailies instead of opening up the Random Battleground system that was implemented in WotLK. We feel that prior to this release there wasn't much reason to queue PvP if you weren't interested in gear or already had better. This will give our players more incentive to queue up more than just on Honor Weekend.
The following quests have been enabled:
Call to Arms: Alterac Valley
Call to Arms: Warsong Gulch
Call to Arms: Arathi Basin
You can find these quests at Battlemasters in your faction's capital cities. [hr=2][/hr]
Due to community feedback, we have also made each subzone where World Bosses Spawn have Free For All flagging.
What does this mean?
You will be able to attack any player who is not in your group, regardless of their faction.
Where will this be implemented?
Each area where the world bosses Kazzak, Azuregos, Taerar, Lethon, Emeriss, and Ysondre spawn will flag you for FFA PvP similar to Gurubashi Arena.
Why is this being implemented?
There is a problem created by both having each faction be able to group with each other and PrimalWoW's PvE rule set. This change should be a fair compromise to raid guilds who want to compete for World bosses with other guilds without fear of flagging issues due to cross faction raiding.

Today also marks the release of the next four Naxxramas bosses!
The following four bosses have just arrived fresh from Northrend!
- - Heigan the Unclean
- Grand Widow Faerlina
- Grobbulus
- Gothik the Harvester
Each of these bosses will add a unique challenge to the current Naxxramas raid instance. Players will surely find themselves challenged by the dedication that will be required to kill these bosses!

The Scourge Invasion will be ending soon as we have driven off the brunt of their forces, but Burning Steppes, Tanaris, Azshara and Blasted Lands are still under attack by the Scourge!
This is the last week of our event, so make sure to stack your buffs. The Argent Dawn Quartermaster will leave the capital cities at December 21st!
