The World of Warcraft team will once again be testing the WoW Arena Tournament on the Tournament Test Realm, and you are invited to be a part of the action. Players in all regions will access the same realm, so the call is going out to all PvPers in North America, Europe, and Korea to log into the Arena Tournament Test Realm and participate in all-out PvP action!

This event will take place this Saturday from 12PM to 4PM PDT, and members of the Community and Development teams will join in the fray.

No character copies are needed for the Tournament Realm as you will get access to the character and gear of your choice just by logging in. The 2.4 PTR patch will provide access to the Tournament realm so download it soon and well see you on the battlefield!

We are aware of issues with the PTR and TTR.

Unable to create new characters.
Unable to Delete existing characters
Unable to connect to the realms

All of these issues are currently being investigated. We have no ETA for their resolution at this time.

Thank you for your patience.

If you feel a permanent ban was uncalled for or would like a second chance due to the ban having been in effect for a long time, please contact us through the community web form, using the category Forums.

There will be no changes to gear availability/rating requirement until Season 4 starts, which will not begin when patch 2.4 goes live.

When Season 4 starts here's what will happen:

• Season 1 removed
• Season 2 moved to honor
• Season 3 rating requirements and prices lowered
• Shoulders: 1950 rating
• Weapon: 1800 rating
• Season 4 gear added

Season 3 prices and Season 4 rating requirements are not yet announced. All information contained herein is of course, as always, subject to change.

Season 4 isn't expected to begin any time soon, but as always we plan to give at least a two week notice before it does. Stay tuned to these forums or any of your fine local fansites as were sure the information will spread fairly rapidly once we do announce a Season 4 start date.

Or how to get along with people on the forums, including the moderators. ;)

Be nice!

• Dont insult others (others covers people, classes, groups, guilds, companies, etc)
  
• Dont try to provoke others (see above)
  
• Dont call for nerfs its very provoking for those you want to nerf
  
• Respect the turf - whether it's Raid amp; Dungeons, Role-Playing (realm) forum, or a class forum, keep in mind where you are and be respectful
  
• Argue the topic, not the person discrediting others...

A question, what you see more and more is quote spamming, is that against the rules ?

---

Only quoting a previous post, not contributing with anything else, is normally the equivalent of a /signed reply and is handled as all other spam. However, unless it (and other similar types of spam) completely derails a thread or is otherwise becoming too much of a trend, we wouldn't hand out long suspensions for it.
