The release date of Season 4 for WoW PvP Arena has finally been announced! The release date will be June 24, 2008 and will culminate with the release of Season 1 gear being replaced by Season 2 gear as far as gear to be bought with honor. Season 4 gear will replace the current Season 3 gear, and the Season 3 gear will move down to a discounted arena point rate.
If you're curious about the rating requirments, then check out what Eldorian posted last month about the new requirements system (http://wow.stratics.com/php-bin/show_content.php?content=27318).
Those of you out there that are looking to get a title have a few weeks to do it! Get those matches in and best of luck to all the players as Season 3 (finally) comes to a close!
For those interested in statistics here is the length of seasons (according to WoW Wiki (http://www.wowwiki.com/Arena_PvP_system)):
Season 1: 20 weeks (almost 6 months)
Season 2: 23 weeks (almost 6 months)
Season 3: 31 weeks (almost 7 months)
Keep in mind Blizzard's original plan was a season change every three months, but Drysc posted about PvE progress dictating the release of seasons (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=7015142820&pageNo=1&sid=1#2):
The seasons match PvE progression.
The final door in Sunwell Plateau just opened up on May 20th. We
want that gear to begin circulating a bit before the next season
starts. That's how every season works, we wait until a reasonable
number of people are able to grab gear from the highest raid before
kicking off a season.
How much and when, we're not saying yet.
