The higest Rank (14, which was insanely hard to get and you had to play every day for like 12 hours) gave some of the best weapons in game. You used these PvP ranks to buy gear that you could use for both pvp and pve. However, if you killed a guard of the other faction you got a MASSIVE minus to your Honor system so you didn’t wanna group up with randoms if they killed some guards, then you would be losing your ranks the upcoming week. And people could spend hours there just killing each other, as there was an honor system in Vanilla where you got a PvP rank based on points you gotten from killing Hordes/Alliance it was very popular. At peak time you could find up to 250-300 of each faction in Hillsbrad. I don’t think there was any time of the day where there weren’t any level 60ies killing each over there. So what do a bunch of PvE people do when they want to kill Alliances or Horde in Vanilla? Well, they buy 1 plane ticket to Tarren Mill/Southshore.

But other than that there wasn’t anything amazing PvE wise to do, so world PvP was very popular even between the PvE people. It had been a little while since we defeated Ragnaros and pretty much all the top guilds were farming MC weekly.

Holy crap was I excited for this instance.
