On Wednesday, October 14, the server moves to a new server core. It is a whole different level of quality, and the entire game will feel different.
— Much better scripting — from starting quests to raid bosses
— New reliable geodata: no falling through textures and no problems with mob movement
— Rewritten and improved scripts from the old core — transmogrifier, dual spec, BG balancer and more
— A new anti-cheat module
— Fixes for important fundamental bugs (various visual bugs, models turning when attacking and more)
— A new discipline for developing and rolling out updates that will keep mistakes on our side to a minimum
Accounts and characters will be transferred automatically, players don't need to do anything. On October 14 at 08:00 the server will be shut down for maintenance, which may take about 6 hours.
Don't waste flasks, elixirs and scrolls before the move: all buffs will be removed. Also restore any deleted characters if you were planning to. After the move it will no longer be possible to restore old characters.
