1.1 Upcoming patches (General)

1.1.1Q Sometimes I die in mid-air when using a flying mount or flight form. Not to mention dying on a floating rock. Will this ever get changed or fixed?

1.1.1A In a future patch your body will drop too the ground instead of staying on the floating rock. The dying in mid-air is unfortunately a harder cookie to crack, so this fix might take longer.

1.3.6A The Emerald Dream is still in development for grander plans. Karazhan Lower Side can take a while since Blizzard wants to visit some other instances first. Grim Batol, Dalaran & Uldum will be used to make old content not a ghost town. They are also still being worked on and planned for future expansions.

1.3.9S http://boards.worldofraids.com/topic-4099-1.html

1.3.10Q Know some Caverns of Time Mount Hyjal changes?

1.3.10A Caverns of Time Mount Hyjal will get a couple changes in a future patch. Archimonde's Leash will expanded and a new spell will be added to the Well of Eternity. The NPC's will no longer kill bosses when the raid has wiped; this because people could no longer loot the loot. The waves before each boss will be reduced from 12 to 8. Last but not least, reputation and loot will be added to the mobs. Not all changes will come at once!
