Hey Netherstormians, I would just like to inform our players that we're about to make some moves, It's time for me to raid in-game a little less and work a little bit more, been slacking but no worries. We are currently working on tons of stuff:

Dungeon Finder
Some instances are not working 100% as they should, so we might be closing down some of them dungeons so people cannot enter them through the dungeon finder until they are fixed and finished. Known dungeons:

- The Oculus
- Utgarde Keep (Last boss)
- Trial of the Champion, the first boss encounter is a huge mess at the moment.
- The Culling of Stratholme, only a few NPCs spawn when there should be waves coming in.
- Halls of Reflection (Priority, this will also fix the battered hilt quest line, meaning we will probably add in Battered Hilt if all goes well)
- Utgarde Pinnacle, the mount boss (3rd) is pretty amazing where he spawns 5-7 mobs instead of 2-3 in a pack at once.

Raids
Ulduar vehicles are a bit of a mess, sometimes passengers get abilities that are required for Flame Leviathan sometimes they don't, and killing Flame Leviathan in a messy way results in a messy raid save (bugs occur).
Icecrown Citadel - Known: Gunship Battle, 1st try: Fix, 2nd try: Hack the loot from Gunship Battle into Deathbringer Saurfang's loot.

Class Issues
A look at hunter pets is required, the pet system isn't at it's best stages.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More "general" stability updates and we're going to setup a weekly maintenance task, so the server does not go into a crash loop if it has been up for many days and someone manages to crash it.

After we finish these tasks we're preparing some massive advertisement!

Can't forget the Sons of Hodir quest chain! Two known quests are broken and are being looked at right now.

Along with other quests the Battered Hilt quest chain has been worked on and is near completion. One quest in particular seems very difficult to fix so we may just skip that part of the quest. Doing so will not mess with any of the epic item level 251 rewards!

Lord Marrowgar has been fixed, he should not bone spike tanks and after being bone spiked, players will no longer get stuck. (Clear your cache if this will occur again, it shouldn't require a cache delete though.)

Trial of the Crusader (10 and 25 man) is now doable, the worms Acidmaw and Dreadscale have now been fixed, they do not bury and disappear anymore!
