New characters will not be able to get the old titles, although supposedly there will be new titles obtainable somehow in TBC.

Also just confirmed the rank 3 10% discount does still apply for those who are ranked that or above. I'm not sure whether the old rank system is still working 'in the background' or whether the ranks were fixed at the time of the 2.0 update.

New ranks would be coming via the Arena.

On the current ranks, no clue, all I know is that I still have my R3 bonus on my two mains. Also, my guildmate that was a Warlord when the patch hit is still getting BG leader every time, whereas my other guildmate who had downranked to Lt. Gen hardly gets it. Both were ex-High Warlords and can show the title.

Additionally, on the score screen or via a Unit Frame mod's PvP icon (like X-Perl) it's showing your rank at the time of the patch, not your highest.

So, do the old ranked people still get NPC discounts?

And a newly made character will never display a rank?

That's pretty bogus.

Sorry if this was covered elsewhere; I looked for it on the WoW site but it's not really obvious (to me) where the changes were located.

no, you can choose whether or not to display your highest achieved rank from a pull down menu ingame.  so if you grinded to High Warlord, you can display that if you choose to.  Really no point in displaying it unless you did something noteworthy i suppose. I certainly don't have "centurian" in front of my name as that doesn't exactly frighten people.

actually i am re-reading your post and I don't know to be honest. if you rolled a toon today I don't know if it would ever give you a title.

However, the only people I ever see bothering to display their title are people who hit high warlord.  And really if your rank is Associate secretary to the Hiigh warlord, why advertise that.

I display Master Sergeant because it's better than Private (or nothing).

And if there was an associate secretary as a rank, I'd be so there.

Witty banter not included.

I display Knight-Captain because I'm kinda proud to have gotten that far w/o a premade group prior to the battlegroups w/ the shorter queues.   :-D

I display Knight because "Knight Paelos" just sounds neat.
