can u flag yourself, if u died (unflagged) and want to transfer to pvp realm?

Yes ghosts are able to flag and unflag with /pvp to choose what realm they want to transfer to.

if i understand this correctly, if you choose to transfer to pve realm from HC
you will be given the option to enable WM?

Yes there is now a popup when joining N'Zoth for the first time after transfer allowing a one time choice to enable war mode.

At least for telAbim that cannot be true or is a bug. I have 300+35 from fishing pole and fish eluded me. Or did you mean 330 minimum to sometimes chatch something? Not 330 all catches go through?
Also since the last restart couple minutes ago i sometimes cannot catch a fish altough i have 410 skill with bobber on TelAbim. That seems way too high. Or is it buggy?

[Archer]

We are using the pre-made fishing brackets from vanilla wow. The level posted is the minimum level to catch a fish.
For max level locations the chances are as follows
Skill Catch rate
329 0%
330 5%
350 25%
375 50%
400 75%
425+ 100%

[Berdal]

If friends that has completed the Together Forever challenge on HC, and transfer to the same realm (dead/Inferno or alive/Immortal).

Will the fellowship connection be restored (to keep summon capabilities) on the new realm once more and more members transfer (in case of larger fellowships)?

Please fix Gnomish Army Knife, currently not working at all, at least not for me on C’Thun, saw a bug report with others experiencing the same. Thanks!

Could you provide some more details on this? I see it as working server side right now with many able to use it. If you have details on what specific functionality is not working, and how you play/update your game client, that would be great!

Any updates on the fourth stable slot (and potentially extra future ones)? We cannot access it because the Glyph of the Beastkeeper shop item is not available.

However, I'd like to request that the slot or the glyph were bought using a reasonable amount of gold instead of IRL money. Hunter stable slots should be accessible to all.

On another note, the stable master pet Caretaker Brambleclaw is not available on the shop either.

Can we also have a way of tracking world boss lockouts? Or if not possible then perhaps consider removing those?
