General:
- Smolderforge has moved to a 100Mbit (2x)Quad-Core Intel XEON server! Please thank all the donors who helped make this possible!
- The mall has been dramatically revamped adding more theme and sorting vendors by relevance. It's also been more spread out for people to move around easier.
- Arena Season 8 has begun!
- The battlemasters have been moved out of Silithus to Stormwind and Thunder Bluff for their appropriate factions. Arena queuing will still be possible in the mall, but is also available at the cities.
- Hard-coded graveyards have been added into the game for when you die in Hyjal and Scarlet Citadel.
- A server-wide LFG channel has been added. If it is beginning to be misused, spamming, flaming, etc., we will close it.
- Ring vendors have been merged together.
- Crossbow and Bow vendors have been merged together.
- Alterac Valley is back, but only from 11AM to 2PM (server time). Nothing will close when AV opens but it will be announced that it is available for play.
- Corpses no longer appear when someone dies, this will help with people's FPS in PvP zones.
- If you die in an area with a custom graveyard, you will receive no durability decreases.
- Powerful elite guards now protect the Horde & Alliance graveyards in Hyjal to prevent corpse camping.
- Players now will be instantly teleported to the mall upon new character creation.

- DPS targets have been added to the second island part of the mall.
- Scarlet Citadel loot-boss has had it's health and damage lowered drastically.
- When you queue for a battleground your chat screen will show you how many people are queued, and how many people until the game can start.
- Vendors in the mall have had many items added/removed or with badge purchases to be equivalent to the S2 and T5 you can start with.
- Choker of Serrated Blades added to the ring vendor for 10 Badges of Justice.
- Unstoppable Aggressor's Ring added to the ring vendor for 10 Badges of Justice.
