Mount Hotfix 9/28/06 | 2006-09-28 by Blizzard Entertainment Tseric | Original link

We will be issuing rolling restarts across all realms at 4:00 AM PDT, Thursday, September 28 to apply a hot fix that will address an issue with mount riding skills. Players that had a mount in their inventory but were not given the appropriate riding skill should find that this has been corrected after this fix is applied. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Temporary Item Buffs Hotfix - 08/15/06 | 2006-08-17 by Blizzard Entertainment Nethaera | Original link

We have implemented a hotfix to all realms during today's maintenance which we had originally scheduled to release with patch 1.12 that changes the functionality of temporary item buffs (e.g. poisons, sharpening stones and shaman weapon buffs.) While we only just recently allowed the affects of these temporary item buffs to persist upon zoning and logging out, due to the extra demand it was placing on our hardware we've decided that for the time being, it was best to revert the change. We do anticipate this functionality will be available again once the anticipated hardware upgrades have been completed in preparation for the Burning Crusade's release.

C'Thun Hotfix - 4/25/06 | 2006-04-25 by Blizzard Entertainment Tigole | Original link

  • The following changes were made to the C'Thun encounter:
    • Fixed a bug which caused Giant Eye Tentacles to continue spawning during C'Thun's weakened state on the second phase of the encounter. It's not intended for anything to be spawning during his weakened state.
    • Duration between alternating tentacle spawns has been slightly increased.

Onyxia Hotfix | 2006-03-31 by Blizzard Entertainment Drysc | Original link

After reviewing the concerns posted since the patch went live, and through internal investigation, an unintentional change was discovered in the Onyxia encounter concerning increased frequency of her Deep Breath ability. We have applied a hotfix to correct this change and players should now be experiencing the reduced frequency.

After careful evaluation of the Hakkar encounter, his hitpoints have been reduced slightly to put the fight's difficulty more in line with what was originally intended.
