Hyjal Mount Race Is Live!                                                                                                                                                         August,22,2026

Mount Hyjal now has a full Mount Race (event 1200): Eluna course scripts, start-city portals, prepare/timeout and cross-map summon fixes, and PlayerBots that ride the route when locked in. Hazard and announce spam for non-racers is cleaned up. Wallclimb no longer false-flags on dynamic props, and playtime AFK/reward messages stay personal instead of yelling to everyone nearby.

Raid Fidelity & Combat Ports!                                                                                                                                                  August,22,2026

Karazhan Midnight correctly respawns after a phase-3 wipe. Molten Core Core Hounds collapse and reignite again. Hellfire Ramparts Nazan picks fireball targets by top aggro. Earth Shield spell bonus data, Arcing Sear-style chain spells, melee miss/dodge/parry entering combat, and call-for-help spam are corrected toward 2.4.3. Anticheat silence/Warden scan buffer bounds are hardened.

Crash Hardening: Teleports, Groups & Eluna!                                                                                                                          August,21,2026

Engineering transporters no longer crash the world after a far teleport. Playerbot group leave is serialized on the world thread so RemoveMember cannot take down server. Map visibility use-after-free, Eluna event-list races, and deferred-event crashes on login/teleport are fixed.

Master Loot & Terokkar Harbinger!                                                                                                                                         August,19,2026

Master looters only see and roll items they can actually use, including conditional drops above threshold and direct loot checks. Terokkar Forest Vengeful Harbinger encounter behavior is corrected with better debugging hooks for GMs.

PlayerBots Gruul, Malchezaar & Hunter Pulls!                                                                                                                         August,18,2026

PlayerBots now run a proper Prince Malchezaar fight: Enfeeble and Shadow Nova positioning, infernal dodge, and ranged stay-back. Hunters pull with Steady Shot and Misdirection on the tank, and pets attack correctly after the pull. Feral druids keep Demoralizing Roar up, Arms/Fury warriors Sunder unless Expose Armor is already applied, and priests use Inner Focus as a boost (troll Shadowguard only on trolls).

World Visibility & Sunwell Display!                                                                                                                                          August,18,2026

Login now delivers nearby objects in one correct update packet, and world object broadcasts are pooled instead of spammed. Sunwell Plateau gigantic objects (forcefields, ice barrier) use native visibility — the old per-object hacks are gone — so raid geometry pops in more reliably with less stutter.

Caverns of Time, Hyjal & Vorpil!                                                                                                                                              August,17,2026

Old Hillsbrad (Skarloc Consecration, heroic VO, escort relocate), Black Morass (Medivh VO, fail teleport, heroic replacement bosses), and Hyjal (Soul Charge classes and VO, Grip/Fear timing, necromancer Unholy Frenzy) move closer to patch 2.4.3. Shadow Labyrinth Vorpil traveler cadence, explode chain, and spawn positions are corrected. Small Illidan Flame of Azzinoth and Shattered Halls Kargath blade-dance fixes also landed.

Gruul 2.4.3 Fight & Mass-Rez Bots!                                                                                                                                         August,15,2026

Gruul's Lair scripts track 2.4.3 tractor-beam, shatter, and VO more closely. PlayerBots fight High King Maulgar and Gruul with spread, cave-in avoidance, and tank holds. After a full wipe, dedicated resurrector bots can chain-rez the raid out of combat so you can pull again without a run-back.

Eluna, Crash Hardening & 25-Man LFG!                                                                                                                                  August,15,2026

Eluna Lua scripting is live for custom events, with hook races and binding mismatches hardened so MapUpdater no longer aborts the world. Crashes on GameObject spell cancel, teleport/logout notify, and owned-gameobject logout cleanup are fixed. Real-player chat is logged (with IP) even if a Lua hook blocks delivery. 25-man LFG now requires 6 healers instead of 5. Warsong Gulch door sync is corrected.

Starter Blood Gear & Realm QoL!                                                                                                                                            August,12,2026

Starter item stats are halved and a full Blood gear set plus crate loot is in. Refik sells standard Tailoring Supplies. Event Battle Master NPC class/gossip is fixed. Silithus Southwind tower areatrigger works. Naxxramas Sir Zeliek no longer uses WotLK-only spells on the TBC list.

Black Temple Blizz Pass & Log Cleanup!                                                                                                                                  August,12,2026

Black Temple first-enter spam is cleaned up at the root: Dragonmaw followers no longer spam empty path errors, instance unload no longer floods stale-map logs, and respawn timing is corrected. Doomwalker outdoor behavior is closer to patch 2.4.3. Taxi flights no longer print false "Path empty" errors when a flight starts. GM .gobject near no longer crashes the world.

PlayerBots Raid AI & Combat Polish!                                                                                                                                       August,12,2026

PlayerBots gained Black Temple raid strategies, plus earlier Al'ar and full Sunwell Plateau boss tactics. Combat AI is sharper: better spell interruption, knockback-aware jumps, Ret Seal/Judgement of the Crusader, Swiftmend, Steady Shot, Balance Starfire priority, and healers skip targets that cannot receive healing. Soulstone cooldown spam for warlock bots is silenced.

Class & QoL Combat Fixes!                                                                                                                                                      August,11,2026

Mage Blink now uses a smooth client jump instead of a teleport pop. Tree of Life again grants the flat healing-received bonus without wrong spell-power coefficients. Spirit of Redemption leave behavior is fixed so priests die cleanly when the aura expires. AceComm-style addon chat payloads no longer disconnect clients over UTF-8 checks.

Quest LFG & Event Battle Matchmaking!                                                                                                                                August,11,2026

Quest LFG matchmaking can summon party members to the leader for quest content. Event Battle matchmaking and related character-table support are improved for smoother pit queues and fights.

Zul'Aman Toward Blizz 2.4.3!                                                                                                                                                   August,09,2026

Zul'Aman boss scripts continue moving toward Blizzard 2.4.3 timers, abilities, and encounter flow. Triage patients no longer despawn immediately after spawn. Chat flood from malformed CMSG_MESSAGECHAT packets is kicked to protect the realm.

Server Stability & Aura Carrier Rates!                                                                                                                                      August,08,2026

A crash when replacing SUMMON_OBJECT_SLOT gameobjects with stale owners is fixed. Configurable AuraCarrierSpellDamage rates control player-carried creature damage more cleanly. WORLD HEARTBEAT logging and rate-limited far gameobject interact logs help diagnose live issues without spam.

Classic Raid Fidelity Pass!                                                                                                                                                         August,07,2026

Karazhan Chess and voice-over lines are aligned closer to Blizz 2007. Blackrock Spire, Blackrock Depths, Blackwing Lair, and Molten Core received door/encounter fidelity work, including Aqual rune quench visuals and Domo/Ragnaros yell fixes. Razorgore possess rubberband and empty action-bar issues are addressed.

Login, Warden & Long-Uptime Hardening!                                                                                                                             August,06,2026

AuthOk is sent earlier and stuck PlayerLoading sessions are replaced so logins recover faster after freezes. Warden timeouts are hardened against world stalls and slow module init; TBC clients no longer get kicked during char select from Lua Execute trampoline mismatch. Temporary map GUIDs are recycled so long uptime with PlayerBots no longer hits GUID overflow shutdowns.

Sunwell Plateau Blizz Pass!                                                                                                                                                       August,04,2026

Sunwell Plateau wipe reset, Twins empower, Felmyst landing, M'uru, and Kil'jaeden behavior are closer to Blizz 2007. Progression soft-locks and crash/reload recovery are fixed. Remapped spawn GUIDs that broke encounters are corrected.

Hellfire & Magtheridon Fidelity!                                                                                                                                              August,01,2026

Hellfire Ramparts, Blood Furnace, Shattered Halls, and Magtheridon wipe/reset and combat scripts are aligned toward Blizz 2007. Kelidan unlock after channeler deaths works reliably. The Maker has Knockdown and Acid Spray again. Blood Furnace Magtheridon voice NPC loads correctly.

Tempest Keep & Outland Dungeons!                                                                                                                                           July,31,2026

The Eye / Al'ar P1 flight and Quills timing are hardened for 2.4.3. Magisters Terrace Kael and Delrissa, Mana Tombs Tavarok, Sethekk Halls Anzu (including re-summon after wipe), Auchenai Crypts, and Shadow Labyrinth received fidelity and AI cleanups. Uldaman Archaedas/altars are restored; a ritual gameobject null-owner crash is fixed.

Karazhan Midnight & Netherspite!                                                                                                                                               July,30,2026

Karazhan Midnight now summons Attumen correctly again. Midnight and Netherspite scripts track closer to TBC behavior; PlayerBots also improved Netherspite beam intercept/swap handling. Wallclimb false positives on stairs/curbs are reduced. Anticheat UTF-8 insert failures into logs_anticheat are fixed.

Warden Breaking News Hooks!                                                                                                                                                     July,28,2026

Core support for Warden Lua payloads and Breaking News hooks landed, with GlueXML client patch helpers. Rename-scan noise that did not fit TBC clients was disabled so Warden stays useful without false kicks.

Crash Hardening Wave!                                                                                                                                                                 July,22,2026

Major stability pass: stale-map login crashes, ScriptDevAI null/empty crashes, arena/BG invite leaks that pinned empty instances, Enfeeble map growth, and raid summon GUID lists growing across wipes are fixed. Anticheat movement checks are hardened. Rated arena empty opposing teams and bot battlefield ports are corrected.

LFG System Overhaul!                                                                                                                                                                   July,19,2026

Looking For Group is rebuilt for thread safety: queue/matchmaking/rewards run through the world Messager, presence snapshots drive role matchmaking, false Deserter on proposal decline/timeout is removed, accept now forms groups and teleports correctly, and reward mail no longer crashes with full bags. LFG no longer overlaps with BG/arena queues for bots.

Event Battle Arena System!                                                                                                                                                           July,18,2026

Event Battle gets a full PlayerBots PvP brain: class×class and spec×spec matchups, duel scripts, trap/AoE avoidance, kite/gap-close movement, prep buffs during countdown, fireworks for champions, and disconnect/stall hardening. Core side: ForceEndEvent fixes, DoT cleanup when fighters leave the pit, and safer PathFinder/navmesh use under load.

PlayerBots Combat & Group AI!                                                                                                                                                   July,14,2026

Group combat sync is improved: tanks pick up party aggro, healers can off-DPS when safe, DPS wait-for-attack flow is fixed, and bots stay mounted while fleeing. Default dungeon strategy loads dungeon-specific AI automatically on enter. Aura iterator and bot chat-queue race crashes are fixed. AddClass pool lets players borrow shared bots by class.

MMaps Pathfinding Crash Fix!                                                                                                                                                       July,09,2026

Concurrent MapUpdater pathfinding no longer corrupts Detour: each thread gets its own navmesh query and shared dtNavMesh access is serialized. This stops ACCESS_VIOLATION crashes that appeared under heavy bot/player load.

Hellfire Ramparts Nazan Fix!                                                                                                                                                        June,16,2026
