- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.2.0 (2004-12-21)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Happy Holidays!
  The holidays are here and the citizens of Azeroth are celebrating the 
  occasion with festive decorations and winter time activities.  Keep an
  eye out for some fun and exciting surprises throughout the world!


 New Dungeon - Maraudon
  In the vast gray of Desolace lies the earthen tomb of Zaetar, fallen 
  Keeper of the Grove and son of Cenarius.  Zaetar rejected his Keeper 
  heritage when he joined with the princess of the chaotic earth 
  elementals, Theradras. Their unholy union gave birth to the misshapen 
  and cursed centaur, who promptly slew their father for his part in 
  their misbegotten creation. Fearful of Cenarius' wrath, the 
  grief-stricken Theradras sequestered her dead lover's body in her 
  secret sanctuary, the Crystal Caverns of Therramok, where she watches 
  over him to this day. Travelers who come to Desolace have little 
  trouble spotting Zaetar's tomb, for the blessing of nature that 
  permeates his being transformed his resting place into a verdant 
  paradise of flora and tranquil pools. Today, this tomb is now trodden 
  by the hooves of Zaetar's children, who have claimed this great cavern 
  as their sacred stronghold Maraudon.

  Maraudon, a level 40-49 dungeon in Desolace, is now open and ready for
  business.


 Cloak & Helm Graphics
  There are now interface options that let you not display your helm 
  and/or cloak on your character. These options will allow a player to wear a 
  cloak or helm, but not have it show up in the game world. The check 
  boxes to control this functionality are in the Options menu under 
  "Interface Options."


 General
- Players will now receive credit for killing a monster even if 
  they die during battle.
- Players will now be able to purchase and train mounts from other 
  races in their faction.  However, you will first need to obtain 
  "exalted" reputation status with that race in order to do so.  
  Mounts of the opposing faction are not available for purchase.
- A "Looking for Group" channel has been added. Additional improvements 
  in looking for group functionality will be added in future patches.
- Daze chance has been reduced in degrees depending on the level of the 
  monster versus the level of the player.  Thus, a monster will have a 
  better chance to Daze a player equal in level than it would Dazing a 
  player five levels higher.
- If you die in Molten Core, you will now be able to retrieve your 
  corpse at the Blackrock Depths instance line.
- Several instance bosses and sub-bosses have had their levels slightly 
  lowered.
- Giant Clams in the Vile Reef now drop Blue Pearls.
- Spell Reflection no longer reflects abilities.
- You can initiate a trade by dropping money onto a player.
- You can no longer select targets while under the effects of charm.
- Most non-elite creatures in non-instanced areas of the world have had 
  their hit points slightly increased starting from level 20.
- Messages in the chat window provide feedback when you are getting 
  drunk or sober.
- Skill gain messages will no longer appear for auto-ranking class 
  skills when you gain a level.
- Training costs for all classes are in the process of being rebalanced.  
  For this patch, training costs have been adjusted for the Rogue and 
  Warlock classes and we will be making similar adjustments to all 
  classes in the future.


 Talents
- Damage bonus for the Warrior's One-Handed Weapon Specialization 
  (Protection tab) increased to 2% per rank.
- Amount of threat generated by Shield Bash when Shield Discipline is 
  active has been increased.

  135, 160) instead of percentage-based damage.  Additional ranks 
  available on Warrior trainers.
- A bug causing the Hurricane talent to not require channeling has 
  been fixed. This spell now correctly requires channeling.


 Player versus Player
- Gurubashi Arena - The arena in Stranglethorn Vale has been changed so 
  that free-for-all PvP will only take place on the floor of the arena, 
  and no longer in the stands or on the entrance ramp.  Please keep in 
  mind that on PvP realms, members of the opposite faction can still 
  attack you anywhere in the arena because Stranglethorn Vale is a 
  contested area.
- There is now a short countdown before a duel starts.

- Monetary value of fished items sold to vendors has been significantly 
  reduced.

  Runecloth Bandage can be learned by visiting your faction's Artisan 
  First Aid questgiver.

 Quests
- Many Stranglethorn Vale quests had their experience rewards changed 
  to be more in line with the difficulty of the quests. Some 
  Stranglethorn Vale quests were also increased in difficulty, due to

  creatures. The Green Hills of Stranglethorn and Big Game Hunter
