Upcoming Honor Items and Honor Reset
As many of you know we will be featuring a new Battleground, a dedicated world PvP zone and all new PvP items in Wrath of the Lich King. In order to make the transition from The Burning Crusade to Wrath of the Lich King flow as smoothly as possible, all accrued honor points will be reset at the launch of the expansion. We do this to ensure select players do not have an unfair advantage at level 80 from stockpiling honor to instantly purchase the newest Wrath of the Lich King PvP rewards. For those with unspent honor points prior to the release of the expansion, we will be offering a few upgrades and special rewards in next content patch solely for purchase via the honor system.

Update:
All of the gems that can be purchased with honor will have the Bind on Pickup and Unique-Equipped tags removed so multiples of them can be equipped and they can be traded (or auctioned). The new items that will be available are:

Q u o t e:
I read special items and now that's all I care about. Screw the upgrades what are those "special" things going to be?


The items should be on the PTRs now, or very soon.

Q u o t e:
Bornakk, This is suppose to soothe bad feelings about the reset?


It's meant to provide further information on the things that are being added to the game before the honor wipe. That's all.
