For the new guy: WoW Arena System FAQ

 

Aside from the floating isles of the Outlands, one other feature quickly picking up speed in World of Warcraft  Burning Crusade are the reward-laden Arenas. Now, aside from the step-by-step guide available over at the WoW main site, it seem that WoW Europe has taken Blizzard‘s services up a notch with a quick FAQ covering details for first-time Arena users. As Blizzard’s Ommra dictates:

Players: Can you add a team member after the season started and will he get ranked according to the teams accomplishments?
Blizzard: Yes. The rating is tied to the team, not each individual member. As such, if a person leaves a team, he/she will lose his/her rating, but will not lose any arena points that have already been accumulated.

Players: Is there an Arena Team Master (like Guild Master) who can kick other members at will?
Blizzard: Yes. The player that creates the team is the team leader.

Players: If you are within the top 0,5% in several brackets (e.g. 2v2 and 5v5), do you receive 2 different titles and 2 mounts?
Blizzard: It is the same title regardless of the bracket, so the player would only have 1 new title. However, they should get 2 mounts in the mail.

Players: Do you have to learn the riding skill for the armoured Netherdrake or will you receive it with the mount?
Blizzard: The mount requires 300 riding skill in order to use.

Players: Are there different rewards for the second season?
Blizzard: This hasnÂ’t been decided yet, we will let you know in due time if there are any changes for the second season.

Of course, we make mention of the other FAQs for beginners, and these should give you guys some foundation pointers for your upcoming adventure(s).
