PvP stands for player versus player. That means you are fighting another live human like yourself. This can happen out in the game world or in battlegrounds. When you play on a PvP server, there are certain zones which are contested, meaning when you run across a player from the other faction, as in you are alliance and they are horde, you can attack each other. This can be fun and thrilling, and it can be very frustrating at times when someone who is much higher level than you kills you in one shot and keeps killing you over and over because they're bored. PvE means player versus environment and that is you killing everything else like in dungeons, quest mobs, rabbits and critters, etc...

When you kill another player of similar or above your level, you get honor, which is basically the PvP equivalent of XP. You can buy gear with honor, ask the city guards or in game ask other people where the honor vendors are. I know in Stormwind it's in the section east of the main part of town, I can't remember the names anymore. For horde, I don't know where it is because I never played horde all that much but I'm positive it would be in Orgrimmar since that's the main city for them.

There are quests in all the battlegrounds I believe, and I can't remember but I would assume that they would give you honor as a reward rather than XP.

 

Forgot to add, if you kill another player who is much lower level than you, you get no honor and I believe there's a debuff in vanilla that you get for dishonorable kills and city guards will be pissed at you.

No, you can't. This isn't retail.

So what was it used for in vanilla? I never PvP'd much so obviously I remembered wrong. Is it just for show?

Game manual, page 134. Read aloud.

You could just answer the question instead of being smug about it like so many people here. I was trying to be helpful to the OP but man some of you posters on here make it tough. I guess I should just stay a lurker.

I don't have the manual, I mean I had it in 2005 but I don't have it. If you have it, then just answer the question and then we don't have to have this forum PvP right? Anyways, have a good weekend dude.

That took literally 40 seconds to browse to my WoW folder, scroll through the manual pdf, and find.

@katris

While your intentions are good, don't answer questions you do not know the answers to.

It does more harm than anything, as new people may stop after your "answer" and now have incorrect information they too will share.
