Update 11/17/11 @ 12:40 am: Eternal and Exile are getting updated to the PTR updates now, and all realms are rebooting for about 15 min each. Eternal and Exile may take ~15-30 minutes longer.

Update 11/8/11 @ 8 pm: A few post-update fixes for Redemption (will take effect after the next server restart):

• Roxi Ramrocket not selling Engineering items - Fixed
• Outland's Horde Leatherworking Trainer not training - Fixed
• Jeeves and Eternal Jeeves not showing the "Bank" option - Fixed
• Rare NPC spawns required to be killed for the Northern Exposure achievement not scripted - Fixed
• Also note, we are aware of the "jittery" lag on Redemption, and unless it is determined that the update had nothing to do with it, we are keeping Eternal and Exile's update on hold until this issue is fixed. We may need brief all-realm restarts to help us troubleshoot, but downtimes shouldn't be much longer than 15 minutes. Thanks!

Eternal, Redemption, and Exile will be shutting down for approximately 1 hour each in order to apply updates from the PTR.

Redemption - Update Complete
Eternal - Update Complete
Exile - Update Complete

Also note, all Lich King kill achievements have been reset, including the "Realm First" achievement. Go get him!

• /who works
  
• No automutes for talking (spamming) in Player controlled chat (Group / Raid / Guild) or for addon's getting too chatty. This should stop people from getting automuted for doing dpscharts or whatever.
  
• If someone tries to break into your account using password guesses it now bans their IP address instead of the account attempting to be banned.
  
• And quite a few exploit fixes.

Kill the LK? meh, that sounds alright.
but what I really want is to kill that NPC in dalaran sewers. that all powerfull NCP that can .kill everyone in the whole world of warcraft. you know... MATTMECK.

killing the LK is for children.

One could only imagine the epic loot Matt drops...

[*][One-handed weapon specialization] got bugged, it will no longer provide you the 10% damage bonus despite you having the 5 points spent on it

Kudos for us prot warriors...

I just tested this by making a level 80 warrior on Redemption and giving them wrathful gear and spec'ed down to 1hand specialization 5

Doing autoattack on a Grandmaster training dummy for 5 minutes: 200.5

Same spec minus 1 handed specialization 5, same dummy, same weapons for 5 minutes: 175.2

Some basic math: 200.5 / 175.2 = 1.1444063926940639269406392694064

Or in other words a 14.4% increase in DPS when using one-handed weapon specialization, given this is a very short sample I believe it's safe to say that One-Handed weapon specialization does give a benefit around 10% increase in DPS.

Sindra continue bugged.

When she select 2 players to frost on tombs, if 1 more not selected its close also become tomb.

Also tombs supose to protect u on the cast duing the fly phase, people die , its not 100 sure if u hide on the tombs.

Supose tombs protect you and also only choose 2 players to frost.

You are just doing it wrong, i just killed Sindra 15 min ago.

Just some issues I would like to point out, and/or question?

Roxi Ramrocket's pipes have vanished.

Stat modifiers seem... different.
I am sure I had 200-300 more spell power than I do now, on my priest. (I remember it reaching 4k self buffed, not it's 3.8k. And I remember my self-buffed shadow spell power being ~3.5, and it's ~3.2 now.) My Death Knight, in tank spec and gear lost ~22% avoidance out of no where. (No gear changes...) My holy paladin lost about 2,000 mana, and Holy Light's cast time is remaining at 1.5 seconds. (Light's Grace no longer being consumed with subsequent casts of Holy Light...)

So maybe some talents got bugged?

Most of my friends are noticing that they're missing some spell power, and some other numbers seem a tad lower. Although it's mostly just some observations and I'm sure there's more I can dig up if I bother to. ;p

Edit: I decided to check on a couple things that were... different on the PTR as well.
The Quartermaster for the Knights of the Ebon Hold as well as all the quest NPCS originally in The Shadow Vault are no where to be found. All the monsters in the area are aggro, etc.

good job guys rly big thanks for this update

And here I thought(actually read) that messing with achievements was ultra high hard work? Some guy couldn't get his Plagueworks 10Hc achievement because of glitch and was told that you can't do anything about it?
