No more drowning on the road to Dire Maul huh, good job!!

On another note.. are there news about the reward shirt for the BWL server first? The shirt is in the game files (same as the Ony shirt, which was given to the people who claimed server first there), it just needs to be handed out.

more dampening on holy pal is overdue

Apparently some people were able to farm Silithid carapace fragments and even sold them on AH. Are those getting removed as well then?
