Lost in all the noise about the sky falling and it all being Smedley’s fault, WoW also had a big day yesterday: they launched the honor system. Early feedback around the office has been mixed: everyone who played last night agrees that it turned our PvP server from a polite, armed society to an all-out gankfest. The disagreement is whether or not that’s a good thing or not.

Personally, I haven’t played yet so I can’t comment. I’m not optimistic, though – despite reports to the contrary, Paladins can’t kill anyone unless that person wants to die. Sure, we’re tough to kill, but I spend most of my fights trying to actually get close enough to take a swing at them.
