Smolderforge Server Updates 4.2
It is severely suggested that you delete your WoW Cache folder to prevent any non-updated changes on your client.

General:
  • Alterac Valley battleground has been implemented! All features of SF will mostly close, allowing everyone to queue. You must have 10 players on each side to start a battle, and the battles will go up to 25v25.
  • New viewing distance feature has been added into the core. You should be able to see creatures and game objects much further than before!
  • A new Intel Memory Allocator has been implemented into the core and new DLLs. This should massively improve speed with Windows processing since it cannot compute fast like other operating systems running from UNIX Kernel. This will not improve bandwidth speed, only processing speed--eg: computer lag.
  • A Hunter pet area has been added to allow Hunters to choose from a small variety of pets! Talk with the Hunter trainer in the mall for a teleport.
  • Quite epic Horde and Alliance events added to the Battlemasters section of the mall. They only happen every-so-often and only last for a few minutes, but they are very cool to see! -- Due to time issues the Alliance one will be arriving at a later time.
  • Eye of the Storm has been removed again. You can covert your marks for Arathi Basin marks.
Other
  • Scarlet Citadel's final looting process has been redesigned to fix the master loot problem. There is now a mini-boss NPC you must kill.
  • Scout's Tabard and Stone Guard's Herald is now Horde-only tabard and have had their prices updated to those of retail.
  • Private's Tabard and Knight's Colors is now Alliance-only tabard and have had their prices updated to those of retail.
  • Many Trading Card Game tabards added to the normal mall for 11k honor and 10 AV marks!
  • Alterac Valley vendors for Horde and Alliance will spawn in the Silithus area when Alterac Valley is in progress. They will sell various items that relate to AV such as battle standards, mounts, tabards, runes of recall. But most importantly for 60 marks and epic booklet that will let you accept a quest to earn one of the four Season 4 rings (Guardian's Band of _____). While we understand the concern this might erupt, this is only a ring and we do NOT plan to add any other future S4 items to players. This is strictly to promote Alterac Valley.
  • In place of the Eye of the Storm NPC, a new NPC named "Warbringer" has been added in place which will allow you to access all of the battleground quests from him personally. He'll also have affect on a few other quests.
  • A Spirit Healer was added to the battlemaster area of the mall for players who sadly die there.
  • The Alterac Valley world event has been completed. This will not force people to play AV, but restrict them from doing anything else (except arena). Hyjal bases will be closed off, SC and SWV will close (unless you're already inside), the teleporting from the mall will be closed, and all other battlegrounds will be closed off.
  • The original Food and Drink vendors in Hyjal will now repair your items.
  • Frostwolf Howler and Stormpike Charger have now been removed from all players.
  • You must be in a raid group to enter a raid.
  • Angry Ghost of Scarlet Ancestry has been buffed.
  • Call to Arms quests have been renamed to "Honor of ..." since also the real Call to Arms quests have been implemented.
Scripting:
  • Captain Galvangar & Captain Balinda Stonehearth scripted
  • Vanndar Stormpike & Drek'Thar scripted
  • Frostwolf/Stormpike Bowman scripted
  • Frostwolf Legionnaire & Stormpike Guardsman scripted
  • Various NPCs throughout AV have had their waypoints scripted
