Brilliant. Just brilliant. If you've been keeping up with the many changes in Patch 3.2 (http://www.wow.com/tag/patch-3.2/), you might get an inkling that PvP (http://www.wow.com/category/pvp/) is going to change drastically and for the better. Adam has already gone through the whopper announcement that Blizzard hinted at some time back: players can now gain experience (http://www.wow.com/2009/06/18/battleground-leveling-and-experience-changes-in-patch-3-2-twink/) from the Battlegrounds (http://www.wow.com/category/battlegrounds/). It's something I'd wished for since the days of vanilla WoW and the developers have finally gotten around to implementing it in the next major patch.

Does this mean the death of twinks? Not necessarily. Players can opt to toggle experience gains on and off by going to Behsten in Orgrimmar or Slahtz in Stormwind (best-in-slot, get it?) and ponying up 10 Gold. But wait, there's more! Players who turn off experience gains will only be placed in the same Battleground queues as other players who opt not to gain experience. That's right -- twinks will be facing off against twinks. Twinks who have always contended that it wasn't about the unfair gear advantage will finally get the opportunity to test their mettle against equally geared opponents. Enjoy.

That's just the tip of the iceberg, though. After the jump, we'll take a look at a whole bunch of changes that will impact World of Warcraft PvP from the obvious (Arena (http://www.wow.com/category/arena/) and Battleground changes) to the not-so-obvious (item and ability changes). Let's hit it.Continue reading What Patch 3.2 means for PvP (http://www.wow.com/2009/06/18/what-patch-3-2-means-for-pvp/)
