• The Smuggled Procurements game object in Theramore for the quest "Kul Tiran Provisions: Special Goods" now has a reduced respawn time from 5 minutes to 5 seconds.

• The minimum level requirement for the Stormwind Vault quests "The Tome of Arcane Intricacies and Magical Phenomenon IX," "Recovering Vault Shackles," and "Ending Arc'Tiras" has been increased to 58 to match the minimum level required to enter the instance.

• Fixed the description of Old Church of Westfall VII quest.

• Added a timeout to /who for improved performance.

• Your position in a queue will now be retained after being disconnected.

• Updated the script in Stormwind Vault to close the door to Arc'Tiras after he is engaged.

• Glyph of Exhaustion will no longer grant rested bonus while the player is offline.

• Fixed the detection range, bounding radius, and combat reach of Hateforge Quarry mobs.

• [Delayed due crashes] Made the Hanzi filter for public channels more strict, now affecting /say as well. *

Please note that full support will only be cut when transfers to SEA realms are functioning properly. We are currently preparing more space for these transfers to be possible in the first place. We understand the frustration caused by overpopulated realms, but installing server infrastructure across half the planet is a challenging task. We ask for your patience as we complete all technical preparations.

Thanks for all your work, both eu and cn teams. Everything will be fine soon.

[Bayanni]

Great!

Queuing seems to have nothing to do with Chinese characters. Asian servers are indeed full. Where is the problem? Don't understand (⊙ _ ⊙)

[Grizb37]

The problem is the Chinese population is too big, they have filled 2 realms with 10k placed plus 12k in queue and so our European realm still gets hammered with Chinese. During the Europe peak it's totally fine.

[Geojak]

The Chinese have 2 servers, we have just one English one. They, decided to roll on the eu server despite it being supposedly English. Drop the Chinese local emulator support now please, they don't need to have somewhere to move, because they came to an English sever they should have nothing to complain about it... How many servers do the Chinese need to gain before the EU server can become not just English in name. I rly appreciate how you and team are fair and try to satisfy everyone equally. But we international English players deserve to have one server too

[Onlyme]

every thing gone be ok.
i mean about a month later, most players may be give up

[Tsengho]

and the chinese client should be limited

[Korbendallas2k4]

God bless.

Are server down for manteinance? Just joined, this is awesome, but queues apart is it all ok?

[Dadjokeson]

Something is fishy since the last update. My position in Q during login is increasing over time.

My position in queue went from 40ish to 300+. After this I closed the game and opened again and logged in w/o queue.

[Axxl]

same - my queue is just going up and up and up. It shows that during EU peak there is no queue, but during Chinese peak time, the EU server is still experiencing queueing likely pointing to the EU server still being predominantly Chinese.

Does that apply to client crashes aswell?
