Blizzard poster Bornakk has announced that the previously mentioned wipe to PvP honor and points will no longer happen.

We had hoped that the introduction of some new Honor rewards in the upcoming patch would give players a great opportunity to spend any of their remaining Honor. However, many players would still be surprised by an Honor and token reset as it isn’t something we’ve done in the past. As such, we’ve decided to not reset Honor or tokens upon the release of Wrath of the Lich King.

Blizzard Poster Vaneras has stated on the official forums that Wrath of the Lich King will be available on DVD only. The previous 2 instalments have been released on both CD and DVD. Those without a DVD drive will either need to upgrade or wait for the digital download to become available after release.

As reported yesterday the list of new honor items has been announced by Blizzard poster Vaneras.

Along with the items is a change to Gems:

Please note that Gems that have been acquired through Honor will no longer be unique-equipped after the release of Patch 3.0.2. Also, they will no longer Bind on Pickup.

Blizzard poster Tigole has given us some hints on further bag space reducing methods that are in the pipeline. Tabards will not be getting the same over haul as pets and mounts but a new Tabard vendor in Dalaran will be selling cheap replacements.
In his own words:

There really is no reason to hang on to them unless you’re wearing them.

Quest and attunement items from old world content are also being re-worked, albeit the changes will not be available when WotLK launches.

We have plans for these items (and getting them out of your bags). Unfortunately, we won’t be able to get to it in time for Wrath of the Lich King, but we do want to eventually address how these work.

Blizzard poster Ghostcrawler has made an interesting post regarding some common questions/concerns about DK tanking.

Highlights include:

Q: Is there any plans to give us spam able Aggro-generation skills back?

A: Abilities that add too much straight threat don’t scale well. Paladins would have been far and away the best tanks for threat in Sunwell if more gear had been available to them. Part of the reason is because their threat scales so well with their dps. We’d like to get away more from +threat abilities for all classes if we can.

Q: Are we supposed to be hitting the Armor Cap? Or an Avoidance cap? Because right now i do not see that happening either way and leaving us kind of… lacking mitigation.

A: No class should be close to either in Lich King. That was actually a problem in Burning Crusade — witness bears being unable to improve their tanking gear because of the armor cap and the introduction of “Sunwell Radiance” to work around excessively high avoidance values. We think it’s fine for tanks to reach the uncrittable mark, and being uncrushable is no longer an issue. Beyond that, we want you to always have a reason to improve your gear… and always be a little scared of those bosses.
