The Burning Crusade Classic

  • Fixed a rare bug where characters who received a Level 58 Character Boost did not learn all their spells.
  • Book “Soothsaying for Dummies”, used to re-choose profession specializations for Leatherworking and Engineering, has been temporarily disabled while we resolve an issue with it granting the wrong specialization.
    • Developers’ notes: We’re aiming to have the book reenabled in the not-too-distant future and will post a hotfix note when that happens.
  • Fixed an issue where raid frames were not correctly displaying whether a player was in-range or not.
  • Fixed an issue where pets with auto-cast spells would cause client performance to degrade over time.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the pre-expansion event to disable briefly.

The Burning Crusade Classic

  • Fixed an issue where Blackrock Spire only allowed 5 players to enter.
  • Fixed a bug preventing the quest “The First and Last” from starting for eligible players.
  • Cleansed Songflowers now apply their buff to the clicking player, not the player’s target.
  • Paladins should now be able to learn Consecration from their trainer as intended.
  • Shamans who were unable to learn Two-Handed Maces and Two-Handed Axes from the weapon trainer should again be able to.
    • Developers’ notes: Players may need to log out and back in to pick up this fix.
  • Player versus Player
    • The current active increase to Honor gains is now 150% (was a 100% bonus).
    • Added level 51-60 versions of the “For Great Honor” (Horde) and “Concerted Effort” (Alliance) quests.
    • Developers’ notes: Soon after launching the Burning Crusade pre-expansion patch, we could see that PvP needed an additional increase in rate of gearing. These quests award 400 Honor (at level 60) when handed in, as well as experience for players from levels 51-59. These quests do not require Eye of the Storm, and their text will soon be updated to reflect that. When the Dark Portal opens, these quests will no longer be available, and the level 61-70 versions of these quests will become available.

Please update the community on the GDKP ban policy. Whether you meant to keep the policy or nix it. It feels bad to be left in the dark with so many asking.

Would like a better system of being able to try and create a horde character on Nightslayer. I get the faction balancing, but this is a bit ridiculous.
Have been refreshing the character create page for the past 4 hours trying to boost a blood elf…

Not all of my characters had their talents reset. Based on in game communications and forum posts, this is a common issue. Any ETA on a fix?
