Will current level 70 bg honor and marks of honor carry over to the WotLK bg
honor system?  I was thinking about accumulating some honor on various
characters if the honor would carry over, otherwise I don't want to waste my
time.

I would bet that honor will carry as honor hasnt really changed since
the beginning (except for methods of accumulating it and the whole
notion of DKs which went away) but marks will probably be useless as
there will be new battle grounds to get them through.

You still need the "old" marks of WSG, AB and AV to get lvl 70 pvp
items and for the turnin quest, so it's most likely they will be of
use in LK.

It may change for Badges of Justice, though.
I expect new type of Badges, rendering the old ones worthless, or
upgrades in prices and gains, e.g. 1000 marks for a good weapon, at
10 marks per heroic "80+" boss, rendering running the old dungeons
worthless :)

I believe I read somewhere that they would have a system similar to
the Badge of Justice system, but not with Badges of Justice, with
something new, to prevent level 80 characters from running level 70
heroics for easy badges.  Badges of Frost?  Badges of Undeath?  Badges
of phat lewtz lawl?  Who knows, but definitely a different system.  As
far as old dungeons becoming worthless, it will happen no matter
what.  Its what happened to pre-TBC dungeons, its what will happen to
TBC dungeons when WotLK comes out, with the exception of CoT as a
dungeon hub, since they are adding a level 80 dungeon to it.

I would think so.  Marks and Honor carried over from original WoW to
BC, so I wouldn't think that would change going from BC to WotLK.  In
fact, there were LOTS of people doing BGs in the weeks before BC came
out for this very reason - to accumulate marks and honor for the new
PvP gear.

Yep.  It was almost funny.  I'm not a PvP'er (like, at all), but a lot
of people in my guild were PvP'ing up a storm in the weeks before TBC
came out all the while complaining about the new PvP gear Blizzard
made available  and how it was killing the raids.

It's like they understood the problem, but were powerless to do
anything about it.  Like an addicted coke head who hates the dealer
for introducing him to the stuff but can't stop buying :D.

I'll just throw in my $0.03 (inflation) that marks and honor, for
better or for worse, will almost certainly carry over. I'm still not
even sure there will be a new battleground introduced as there has
been a problem with spreading the players too thinly and people having
trouble getting into any BG's if there are too many.  Most of the PvP
stuff Blizz has been discussing lately for WoTLK has sounded like
outdoor PVP like Halaa and such.

The PvE rewards of the same nature, such as the Badges of Justice,
will almost certainly be replaced with a "Badge of Frozen Juice" or
something.
