- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.8.0 (2005-10-11)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disturbance at the Great Trees
  Something is amiss in the Emerald Dream. Immense dragons with the 
  shimmering emerald scales of the Green Dragonflight have been sighted 
  guarding the portals at the Great Trees... but these once-noble 
  creatures crawl with a new, strange menace, not the peace for which 
  Ysera is known. Bring many allies should you dare to confront them; 
  their powers are formidable and they will not hesitate to crush any 
  who draw near. 

The Stirring of the Silithid
  The arid sands of Silithus are shifting. Something is awakening 
  beyond the wall to the south... Aid the Druids of the Cenarion Circle 
  as they delve into the mysteries of the desert. Seek answers behind 
  the Twilight Hammer's presence. Discover more about the alien 
  creatures known as the Silithid as you explore their hives. Many 
  new endeavors await the high-level adventurer! 

Hallow's End
  When the decorations of Hallow's End light up Azeroth's cities, you 
  know there's mischief afoot! Seek special vendors in Orgrimmar or 
  Ironforge and get your hands on treats! Aid a sick orphan in a little 
  trick-or-treating! Deathcaller Yanka, attending the Forsaken's 
  Wickerman Festival, and Sergeant Hartman of Southshore are seeking 
  your aid in keeping the enemy out of their holiday affairs -- are 
  you up to the challenge? 

General
- Instant Attacks
   The mechanics of most instant melee attacks have been modified to 
   improve item balance. Previously, instant melee attacks did damage 
   based on the damage range of the weapon, plus a bonus for the 
   player's attack power. This bonus was then multiplied by the speed 
   of the weapon. As a result, slow weapons did more damage than was 
   intended, and fast weapons were considered inferior by most players. 
   We have changed the way the attack power bonus is calculated for 
   instant attacks. This change does NOT affect attack power 
   calculations for normal melee attacks. Instead of multiplying by the 
   speed of the weapon, the attack power bonus is now multiplied by a 
   fixed number pulled from the following table:
    + Two-handed weapons: 3.3
    + Daggers: 1.7
    + All other one-handed weapons: 2.4
   As a direct result of this, many weapons have shifted position in 
   their relative power. In particular, many Epic (purple) quality 
   items are now more powerful than slower Superior (blue) weapons.
   This change was not made to reduce the power of instant attacks, but 
   to correct the relative imbalance of weapon itemization. At a given 
   level requirement, epic quality weapons should always be more 
   powerful than superior quality weapons.
   Please also note that all normal weapon swings will be completely 
   unaffected by this change. The following abilities are affected by 
   the design change: Sinister Strike, Ambush, Backstab, Whirlwind, 
   Mortal Strike, and Overpower.
- The cost per point of durability to repair plate, chain, and leather 
  items has been reduced to be equal to the cost of repairing cloth items 
  of the same quality.
- You can now repurchase up to 12 items that you have sold to a vendor. 
  There is now a buyback tab on all merchants that you can select to 
  repurchase the last 12 items you sold since you last logged in. When 
  your character leaves the game or zones to a different area, this 
  list of items will be cleared, so if you have accidentally sold 
  something, don’t wait to buy it back. Buy it back immediately.
- Perception (Human Racial) is now usable while stealthed.
- Guardians and pets in aggressive mode no longer attack civilians.
- There is now a spell effect when you increase your reputation to a 
  new level.
- Channeled spells that are cancelled by movement can no longer be cast 
  while moving.
- Pets no longer break off attacks when their target is affected by 
  Warlock Fear.
- The "Knockout" mechanic has been renamed "Disorient" and all tooltips 
  that referenced this mechanic should be updated. 

PvP
- Honor System
   The percentage of players that may reach ranks 6 through 14 has been 
   increased.
   Lower-level players should advance in the Honor System more quickly 
   than they had previously (although this change does not affect the 
   highest ranks they can achieve).
- Battlegrounds
   Each Battleground has an individual turn-in quest associated with 
   its related victory/loss condition. Upon completion of a 
   Battleground, the winning side will be awarded three Marks of Honor 
   while the losing side will be awarded one Mark of Honor. Three Marks 
   of Honor may be turned in to the associated questgiver for Honor 
   Points and faction increase. Should players complete this turn-in 
   quest, they will find that the bonus Honor Points for completion are 
   twice that of normal turn-in conditions (individual).
   Players of levels 10 - 19 will now be able to participate in the 
   battle for Warsong Gulch.
   Alterac Valley has received an overhaul:
    + In order to keep teams in Alterac Valley more numerically 
      balanced, players will now enter Alterac Valley on a one-for-one 
      basis (i.e. if there are 30 players in the battleground for each 
      side with 10 players in the Alliance queue and 2 players in the 
      Horde queue, only two players from each team will be added, 
      bringing the total to 32 per side).
    + The minimum number of players required to start a battle in 
      Alterac Valley has been lowered to 20 (the maximum is still 40).
    + Points for completing the map and winning have been slightly 
      decreased.
    + Graveyards and graveyard capture points are now at different 
      locations. The banners players must interact with in order to 
      capture a graveyard have been distanced from each other somewhat 
      in order to alleviate "graveyard zerging" and make graveyards 
      more meaningful to both defense and offense.
    + Several terrain changes were made to fix some geometry exploits 
      as well as to adjust for the new graveyard mechanic.
    + Iceblood Graveyard has been fortified.
    + The Frostwolf Relief Hut now has appropriate guards.
    + A great avalanche has closed off both the eastern and western 
      segments of Alterac Valley. This has displaced the Syndicate, the 
      Wildpaw Gnolls, and many of the Winterax Trolls.
    + Due to the avalanche, Korrak the Bloodrager and a small band of 
      surviving Trolls have made the Snowfall Graveyard their new home. 
      Players will find that Snowfall is now under Korrak's control and 
      they must defeat Korrak and his Troll guards if they wish to take 
      Snowfall.
    + The quests Korrak the Bloodrager (Alliance), Korrak the 
      Everliving (Alliance), The Legend of Korrak (Horde), and The 
      Return of Korrak (Horde) have been removed from the game. The 
      rewards for the initial quest involving Korrak have been moved 
      and can be acquired by completing the quest associated with 
      winning a match in Alterac Valley. We realize that some players 
      may have had the Korrak quest and never completed it. These 
      players may have already completed the quest for killing the 
      General and thus might not be able to benefit from the rewards 
      from the previous quest line. We have opted to add an extra quest 
      step at the end of the General kill quests to reward players that 
      fall under such conditions.
    + A new item has been added as one of the reward choices for the 
      quests Hero of the Stormpike and Hero of the Frostwolf.
    + NPC difficulty has been scaled down. All NPCs have had their 
      power reduced by 15-30%.
    + There is now a portcullis at the end of each of the entrance 
      tunnels inside Alterac Valley. They will rise two minutes into 
      the battle. 
- The PvP Tier2 Alliance and Horde Cloth armor sets have new updated 
  textures.
- Hunter traps no longer affect opposing players when the hunter is not 
  flagged for PvP.
