What Rulesets means in WoW Forever

Instead of picking a realm you pick a ruleset. Normal, PvP, Roleplay and Roleplay-PvP launched on 4 November; Hardcore follows in winter. Dungeons, raids and parties stay within one faction and one ruleset, battlegrounds can mix rulesets except Hardcore, each ruleset has its own auction house, and gold cannot be mailed across rulesets. Agree on a faction and a ruleset with friends before anyone presses Create.
