"I challenge you to a duel!"
Ouels are a great way to prove who the better warrior is. Perhaps another player has offended you. Challenge them to a duel! "/slap playername". You can have a duel (one-on-one fight) with another player of either the Alliance or the Horde.
To start a duel, select the player you wish to duel. Right-click on the player's portrait and select "duel". Alternatively, you can also select someone and type "/duel" with that player selected or type "/duel playername".
A battle flag will be placed near you indicating that a challenge has been issued and a duel might begin. The person you challenged must accept the duel or you will not be able to attack them. There is a short countdown before a duel starts. Watch the color of their character's name. It will turn red when the duel has begun. A sound will also play when a duel begins.
If you try to run too far away from the other player after starting a duel a special box will pop up letting you know you're about to exit the dueling area: "Exiting duel area, you will forfeit in X seconds." If you forfeit, a message of your cowardice will be broadcast to the region. Example: Player 1 has fled from Player 2 in a duel.
The result of the duel is announced to the current region (zone). Example: Player 1 has defeated Player 2 in a duel.
