Minor Bug Fix Patch 3.1.1a <div class="blizzquotewrap"><div class="blizzquoteinner"><div class="blizzquoteheader">Quote from: Aratil (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/16473912076-minor-bug-fix-patch-311a.html" target="_blank" style="color: white;">Source</a>)</div><div class="blizzquote">In the next few days we’ll be releasing a minor bug fix patch to version 3.1.1. This sort of patch is very small in size, and we use them to fix specific issues that can’t be hot-fixed. Most patches require a lengthy testing procedure before release, but because this change is focused solely on a client tooltip, its testing process can be accelerated to resolve the issue as soon as possible. In 3.1.1, the paladin ability Exorcism cannot damage other players, but the player game client does not display this change properly. Patch 3.1.1a will fix the tooltip to display the appropriate text; it also displays an error message when a player tries to use it against other players. While we have not done many minor bug fix patches to date, we do plan to use them as appropriate in the future to resolve smaller issues rapidly, rather than waiting for a full patch. </div></div></div> Recent In-Game Fixes - 04/22 <div class="blizzquotewrap"><div class="blizzquoteinner"><div class="blizzquoteheader">Quote from: Bornakk (<a href="" target="_blank" style="color: white;">Source</a>)</div><div class="blizzquote">Listed below are recent fixes we have applied to the game.

It has not been dropped. Creating additional dances takes a significant amount of animation work and we want to make sure that when we do put them out, that they meet our standards. We still intend to put them in, but we have no current eta on their addition.

(<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/16474112072-kaluak-fishing-pole-nerfed-patch-31.html" target="_blank">Source</a>) PvP Balance PvP is monumentally difficult to balance. WoW's PvP game has not been perfectly balanced before, and is not balanced now. But that does not mean we throw up our hands and give up on it. We have solved some nasty problems over the years and created some new ones. Such is the nature of MMO game design. We try and learn from our mistakes and move on. We do internal tests and we do invite players to participate (voluntarily mind you) on betas or the PTR. That in no way can substitute for what happens when 12 million players get their hands on the game and begin playing. Good companies try not to make mistakes. Great companies admit when they make mistakes and take steps to fix them. Even greater companies I suppose never make mistakes, but I don't know any of those. (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/28/16474331088-bravo-blizzard-bravo.html" target="_blank">Source</a>) No new US servers For the record and to ensure there isn't any confusion, we have no plans to create new realms at this time. We created several news since Wrath of the Lich King launched and feel we are at a good level right now. (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/16474149026-plans-for-new-servers-with-31-thread-20.html" target="_blank">Source</a>) Latin American FCMs to Drakkari (PvP) Based on the community's feedback and the current population of Drakkari, players that have characters on any of the eligible realms will be able to begin transferring by selecting the Free Character Move link in the account management section of our web site (<a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account" target="_blank">http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account</a>). Please keep in mind that this is a Latin American realm and people may speak a language other than your own. The transfer process will be comprised of four (4) phases, each phase will last approximately ten (10) days and will include many realms from both the North American (US) and Oceanic regions. Please keep in mind that certain realms will not be eligible for transfers due to population balance, among other variables. Please keep in mind that character transfers can be disabled at any moment should our goals of population balance are met. If you plan on transferring over, we recommend that you do so as quickly as possible. Once the transfer period is over, no characters will be eligible to transfer for free and players will be required to go through the normal transfer process. First Phase: April 16th – April 26th - For a list of eligible realms, please see <a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/16473621833-latin-american-fcms-to-drakkari-pvp.html" target="_blank">this post</a>.
