Nice !!!

[Doofoos]

and no fix for gnomeregan teleport?! O_O

[Noxx]

Good job get those exploits fixed!

[Viowar]

I feel that demo shout doesn't do hardly any threat now. I got used to the threat from battle shout but it doesn't seem to do much at all now :/

[Hogbobson]

I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised by this. Thus far you've kept up more or less weekly patch notes, and no, they don't cover every single one of the reported bugs this week, but we can't ask that of you! I see a grand amount of points addressing either huge issues that of course have high priority, or minor ones that look like they took ten minutes to fix. I say, good Devs, thumbs up. You're awesome

[Netherfrost]

Please investigate matters before you cry wolf and make the server look bad......
The teleporter was introduced around 1.10

Please investigate matters before you cry wolf and make the server look bad

1) I did investigate, and i wasn't able to find the exact date of its implementation, so i assumed that teleport was in the game since the early patches.
2) I'm not trying to make the server look bad, i'm just trying to get attention to this problem - my thread in support section is ignored by devs, despite the facts: this is a serious problem and im bumping thread every day for more than a week! And yet i didn't receive any messages about exact date of it's introduction.

The teleporter was introduced around 1.10

What did you say about investigation of matters?
1.10 patch was released in 28 March 2006, and i've found earlier forum posts (from at least august 2005), which contains information about presence of this particular teleporter.
PS found even earlier information

06 january 2005:
Hehe, you know there is an engineer in Booty Bay named Scooty or something... Title is even Chief Engineer, and he stands by some gizmo that looks like a transporter...

What's really funny is that at the other end of the teleporter is another goblin named "Spork".

The 'porters are used by the Horde to get from Booty Bay to the entrance of Gnomeregan without having to hoof it through Alliance territory.

Creature's default respawn time has been lowered

Which ones? Because the ones I kill do not have lower spawn time.
