Double Honor and Darkmoon Faire Coming to Pre-patch

WoW Classic Cataclysm Classic Discussion

Now that the Burning Crusade Classic pre-patch is fully underway, it has become clear that there could be even more reasons to jump in and play WoW Classic ahead of the Dark Portal opening.

More Honor

This is a different pre-patch than players experienced in January 2007. On the PvP side of things, players are much more focused on earning level-60 gear rewards than ever before, and with June 1 rapidly approaching, we’ve seen a lot of feedback that the rate of Honor earnings could stand to be increased.

For the rest of the pre-patch timeframe, we’re doubling Honor gains from all sources in the Burning Crusade pre-patch. This will also double the additional Honor granted by the weekend holidays for each Battleground and it will double the Honor reward from the daily Call to Arms quest, so you’ll want to include those in your plans.

Speaking of Battleground weekend events, it looks like the default calendar had Eye of the Storm during pre-patch. That won’t do, so we’re changing the order. The weekend currently underway will switch to Arathi Basin, and we’ll follow that next week with an Alterac Valley bonus weekend. You can expect that update with the next realm restarts in this region (soon).

Double Honor will also go into effect with realm restarts, and thereafter, we expect that there may be some scorecard elements that don’t display it accurately. Don’t worry; the extra Honor will be counted.

More Faire

We love the Darkmoon Faire and there are some fun benefits to having it active during pre-patch, so we’re initializing it this weekend. That means you’ll see the setup going on in Mulgore, and then the Faire will be open for business starting on Monday, May 24.

The Darkmoon Faire will then return on schedule (to Elwynn Forest) in June.

Good luck defeating your enemies on the field of battle and/or getting your fortune read by Sayge!

For the love of quarterly earnings, THANK YOU!

Please don’t forget the incorrect amount of honor from HK’s, as without a fix to that, we’ll still be earning peanuts.

While 2x is better than current. It will still be a bit low compared to OG prepatch, which many of us were apart of, including myself. Don’t just increase it by 2x, increase it by 4-5x.

2x of 0 is still 0. you mistakenly over nerfed honor and 2x honor isnt going to help at all.

but lets talk about 2x xp for the belfs/draenei you screwed with the shortest prepatch in history and for losing an entire day due to maintenance

Naw. Your not doing us a favor Blizzard. 20% is obviously better then 10% but is still incredibly low. Lots of players at honor cap, and for the rest of us that have to grind they threw us a bone of appeasement. **** that.

Not good enough, fix the honor change, literally still a toxic change to reduce by 1000% then up 200%
