There is an important thing to note regarding world of warcraft and that is that there are two sides. As well as competing against yourself, or the game, to gain a powerful and respected character, you are also part of a team, that is - the Horde or the Alliance. Blizzard regulates the PvP environment well, having servers specifically for it, and servers for a 'tamer' approach to the game.

On a normal server you are safe from being attacked by other players unless you...ask for it. This involves flagging yourself as a PvP character - attacking someone else who is a PvP character, entering an enemy town or designated battlefield area or 'assisting' a flagged character.

Blizzard has, through several different methods, ensured that you build a stronger affinity with players in your faction, than with players from the enemy faction. One of these methods is language. While it is possible to learn the language of other races, it is niether easy nor automatic. Thus you can easily converse with your allies, but have less joy when trying to talk to your enemies.

This leads to one thing...players in the other faction being more fun to kill. You've got to go through a huge rigmarole to get an ally to fight you, while all you have to do to an enemy is slip a knife in his back while he's looking the other way. The rewards are great - with the accumulated points being 'currency' for buying PvP equipment.

The tactics for pkilling in Warcraft are much the same as in other games. The best method is to catch the opponent by surprise and hit them hard and fast, at the same time having backup and/or an open line of retreat. Don't assume anyone is an easy kill, because quite a few very good players will develop a bait strategy - getting you chasing a weaker character to finish off a kill and running straight into an ambush from a group of stronger characters.

Finally, remember that when you are fighting PvP you are fighting a for who is more tricky, emotional, adaptive and dangerous than most every standard mob in the game. They will adapt their strategy to what you do, they will fight with every weapon they can muster, they will run if it makes sense to do so, and should you kill them they may well spend a week carefully plotting your payback.

And that's what makes it so fun.
