Patch 1.11 (Evil Patch Notes)

Can’t post links on here but…this whole limiting the total amount of dungeons you can do per day, for all characters, isn’t actually some new idea they just came out with to fix botting.

It was included in fake patch notes back in 2006 for April fools, Not even kidding here. This is actually pretty hilarious.

World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.11.0 (2006-04-01)

New Dungeon Visitation Limitation System

Contents

  • [11.11.0 Patch Notes]
    With the many improvements to end-game dungeons implemented last patch, we decided that it was necessary to limit the number of times a player can enter a dungeon per day. This was done to prevent the economy from being flooded with overly valuable items, and to ensure that players weren’t acquiring too much gold during what we’d consider a reasonable amount of play-time. We realize that many players enjoy repeated trips to their favorite dungeons, so we’ve made this new limitation as least restrictive as possible. Each character on a player’s account may enter the same dungeon up to three times per day, and may visit a total of five dungeons over the course of a twenty-four hour period. Keep in mind, each character on your account is flagged separately so with eight characters, that’s a total of 40 dungeon-runs per day!

It’s pretty telling that none of the devs that made those joking patch notes likely work for Blizzard today.

The new devs unknowingly copied an april fools joke from 2006, as a real actual change to the game. 14 years ago this change would have been a joke to the original devs, now it’s considered a legitimate ‘‘Fix’’ to the new developers.

When you get roasted by yourself from 14 years ago and are too clueless to even realize it.

This is hilarious and yet extremely disheartening that this was a joke and now is a sad reality we actually all have to live with.
