The two initial Battleground areas, Alterac Valley and Warsong Gulch, went live June 7, 2005. This system is often abused, since a player can have good reasons for not participating in PVP, for example when he is defending. This debuff can be negated as soon as the player engages in PvP combat. Once the timer is up a new debuff will appear that will prevent the player from gaining any honor or marks while it is on. When enough reports are registered, a 60 second debuff will begin to count down. You can report an inactive player by right clicking the player's portrait and selecting "Report AFK". This prevents entry to another battleground for a 15 minute duration. If a character goes AFK, he/she will leave the battleground and gain the Deserter debuff. Players will earn honor points making PvP rewards available. Once inside the instance, the two teams will engage in large-scale PvP, with various objectives determining the winner. Now, to enter the queue for any battleground, the player must seek out a Battlemaster, which can be found at the portal or in any capital city, or do so through the Player vs. Crossing these portals was originally one of the ways to enter the queue for their respective battlegrounds. Each classic battleground ( Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin and Alterac Valley) has two red instance entrance portals: one for the Alliance, and one for the Horde. Battlegrounds are instanced areas used for player versus player combat.
