Update Notes for April 12, 2011

Today’s Update for Tuesday, April 12, 2011 brings PvP Character Transfers to and from PvP servers, fixes for the Storm Gorge PQ, fixes bugs in instances and raid zones including Tower of Frozen Shadow which has been broken since a week ago Thursday preventing raid progression, and eliminates harassment of other server’s chat channels (players were able to join the 1-9 and other numbered chat channels of other servers).

After many years of requests, it is now possible to transfer characters from PvP to PvE and vice-versa on both regular and exchange-enabled servers (exchange-to-regular is still not allowed).

GENERAL

• Players from other servers should no longer be able to join system chat channels.

CHARACTER TRANSFERS

• Players can now transfer from PVP to PVE servers and from PVE to PVP servers.
• Exchange players can now transfer between the PVP/PVE exchange servers.

• Fixed an alignment issue with the research tab button in the knowledge window.

POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION

• Fixed a bug where NPCs could fight other NPCs when they shouldn’t.
