Of battlegrounds and honor

I remember a while back (pre WotLK) there was talk of making the honor per hour of all the battlegrounds closer to what Alterac Valley produced. Now that Wintergrasp seems to be the big attraction, shouldn’t the honor per hour in the other battlegrounds be revisited in an effort to more evenly disperse the population and relieve the server strain on Wintergrasp?

This is something we're visiting to some extent for the next major content patch. We want all of the battlegrounds to be as close as possible with regards to honor gains, and we want the length of individual matches in every battleground to be roughly the same.

Q u o t e:

What other kind of changes can we expect with battlegrounds and their mechanics?

I want details of the next battleground!

At least tell me if I'm right... Azshara Crater?

We're not prepared to release additional details at this time. We'll be sure to let you know what we're brewing when the time is right. :)
