"Our ruleset doesn't necessarily make a ton of sense for how the game is right now," Hazzikostas said, explaining that since 2005, the rules governing open-world PvP haven't really been updated. That's set to change with Battle for Azeroth. First up, PvP servers are going away entirely.

In World of Warcraft, Player vs. Player (commonly abbreviated PvP) denotes combat between players of any kind, including duels, battlegrounds, world PvP and Arena matches. The term is used in contrast to Player vs. Environment (PvE), which involves the player battling computer-controlled opponents or game elements.
Normal servers are best if you just want to have a good time leveling up and doing PvE content. While playing on these servers, PvP is entirely optional. That means you won't get unexpectedly ganked by high-level players, but this also diminishes the social interaction of WoW.

While in War Mode, you receive a 10% bonus to experience and gold, but can only interact with other War Mode players.
Currently it is only possible to enable warmode when you are high enough to access the talent screen, which is normally at level 15. Despite this soft-limit of level 15, there is no restriction on the server preventing lower-level players from enabling warmode using the in-game C_API call.

Is warmode live? If so, how do I activate it? Go to your main city (Stormwind on Alliance, Orgrimmar on Horde). Go to the talents tab and there will be a button on the right that says "Enable war mode", just toggle it on and you're done.
