• The Alah'Thalas flight master has been relocated to the Citadel of the Sun landing pad
• Added banking animations so dragonhawk taxi doesn't fly flat
• Added flight path between Southshore and Alah'Thalas
• Added flight path between Chillwind Camp and Alah'Thalas
• Damage from pets and guardians is now correctly effected by PvP dampening
• BG window no longer closes on movement
• The in-game shop has been updated to more closely match 1.18.1
• True Hardcore challenge is now selectable from character creation on the hardcore realm. This is a permanent lock to the Hardcore realm. When selected at character creation, you are able to take names that are reserved already on the PvE and PvP realm.
• Players who scored their realm's first Molten Core kill have been retroactively awarded the realm first title
• City protector titles are now cleaned up properly on a weekly basis instead of being held by more than one character
• Dark Portal death transfer crossings are no longer blocked below level 10. Server wide announcements are now suppressed for low level crossings
• The Field Repair Bot 75B companion pet now renders at the correct size on the Hardcore realm

rly --- realm first titles for a closed beta kill? where everything was bugged aswell--- most players did not even have access to the server in the first weeks...

its a shame how you gift ppl with realm first titles when there was no competition

Amazing, just when I was dreading the walk through EPL to get that flight path at 50.
BM hunter pets were a terror in BGs, also great.
Nice mix of convenience and makes-sense stuff, thanks!

How about adding a title for the server first Thrall kill on a pvp server? sounds reasonable :)

I was hoping for Ironforge, but I'll take Southshore and Chillwind Camp. Thank you! :-)

I like realm first, but I'm not sure I agree with giving it in this case. Should be an official opening event and then the first clear after that gets world first.

What happens if someone wouldnt update via launcher or downloading new client code zip ? For example if hunters wouldnt update, then their pet will still not be affected by PvP dampening ?
