Forever honor changes (Blizzard): Honor gains were reviewed so rates are more consistent across battlegrounds, so Alterac Valley is no longer the go-to for Honor efficiency. Highlighted battlegrounds give extra Honor and Rank Points during their holiday weeks.

Full Classic battleground line-up at Forever launch: [Unconfirmed]. Blizzard names Alterac Valley when it discusses Forever honor rates.
