The honor system was the first addition to the PvP system. Players now get honor points for killing other players of the same level range. These points allow the player to rise in rank and gain access to armors, cheaper mounts, weapons and more.
Battlegrounds were the next big thing to be added. In their core battlegrounds are arenas where players try to help their team to do a specific objective. In one battleground they need to steal the enemy flag (basically a CTF match). The second battleground has players battling themselves for territory and trying to take over the enemy base. The last battleground makes players fight for contested points on the map. The team that controls all the points wins.
With the addition of both the honor system and the battlegrounds, PvP in WoW got a whole new dimension. It also gave players something to do besides raiding once they have reached level 60.
