Hardcore Battlegrounds

Small amount of players good with current pop, but bad that group of 6 players can literally grind honor in conspiracy to obtain items.
Since pvp and pve realm have xfactions BGs is it technical issue to include HC players there also?

That would be win trading which would subject them to temporary bans on the first offence, and permanent on subsequent offences. We do have systems to detect this type of behavior, and with the addition of replays it becomes trivial to catch.

It is technically possible, but the gear differential would be large, the resource differential larger still, and the rewards would be lopsided with no PvP gear available to hardcore characters.

Hello Kestrel, it seems like the BG is bugged currently.

When I tried to queue Warsong Gulch on my lvl 60 hardcore character, it showed error message "Hardcore characters may only enter Warsong Gulch".

Yes should be running and enabled on the next restart which should take place in an hour or two.

Well, just for me BGs it's only for fun. Ofc best BGs was Epic, like Wintergrasp, Isle of Conquest, Ashran. But even stale Warsong will be for sure more fun with x-server and w/o strange "1 resurrect from spells/items". It's absolutely imo. On other hand, 1.12 client has no time limit for BGs, if one team holds flag just to farm honor, you will have no choice but to leave. I'm sure there will be twinks even on HC BGs, not at first day, maybe even not at first week, but they will be since we have gankers with 2k+ HP on 20 lvl for hunting warmoders, for BGs such players for sure will be prepared, so not really matter gear diff.

It appears the queue wasn't popping for you because xfaction is disabled. We have enabled xfaction for the time being for testing and population reasons
