[Kestrel]

• D'Dossy pet added and distributed to all those who tried to log in or made a new account during the DDoS attacks. Those made eligible are able to reclaim D'Dossy on all characters by talking to Ozzy in the starting zones

• Getting revived by a spirit guide in the battlegrounds now also revives any pet you had alive at time of death

• Thorn Gorge matches now trigger with 5 players per side instead of requiring 6

• The radio now has a volume slider that remembers your setting, and zone music no longer cuts off your station when you change zones

• Squire Boltfling and Glyph of the Beastkeepe added to the shop

• True Band of Sulfuras is now obtainable rather than locked until the AQ40 phase

keep up the good work champ!

Glyph of the Beastkeepe added to the shop

Sad to see that the last stable slot is available with IRL money. Please, consider making any stable slots added in the future to be acquired through sensible amounts of gold, a la bank tabs.

Nice. I also hope that marks, reputation and rewards will be added to Thorn Gorge. Without them, there is not enough incentive to queue this battleground. Actually, good honor per hour compared to other battlegrounds is enough to revive this battleground.

BTW, is there any plan to bring back Sunnyglade Valley - another forgotten BG that was removed in 1.18.1?

我的账号有机会获得宠物Ozzy吗？测试期间太难注册帐号了。测试完我第一时间注册了帐号。但是不跟其他人一样获得Ozzy

UnitXP_SP3.dll was added to my upgraded client this morning which gives a positive virus scan on 46/71 scanners on virustotal. What is this?
