Ranks

[Fester]

How does the ranking system work (i.e private, corporal, etc) ? Is there a link that shows the "points" required for the different ranks ?

Blizzard's detailed description of the honour system:

In short, there's a pool of honour available to your faction -- each Wednesday (in the EU), you get your share of it determined by the number and quality of your kills and objectives met. If you get enough, you rise a rank.

The upshot of this, is that you can't reliably predict if you will gain a rank in any given week.

Thanks for that answer, it's crystal clear now

I was chuffed about this weeks honor, ive been off WoW since last week, for about 3wks, so i lost everything, i was still at the very beginning of Rank3 however last week.

This week (When update went live?) my honor shot back upto 3/4 way through, it doesnt do that much... looks like it _will_ be easier to reach rank6+!
