In which language should I buy the expansion? We wanted to provide the following notice in anticipation of the upcoming launch of the Expansion. Players planning to play The Burning Crusade will need to purchase the same language version as their original World of Warcraft client. The base languages for the Burning Crusade and World of Warcraft must match, regardless of installed Language Packs.
I already installed the ELP, how should I proceed regarding the expansion? Players who currently have Language Packs installed will not need to reinstall Language Packs after installing and upgrading to the expansion. The Burning Crusade Installer will automatically detect and update Language Packs. So you don�t have anything to do apart from installing the expansion.
2. Spanish speaking version
I�m playing with an English client, which version of the expansion should I buy? Spanish users who have originally installed an English client will be able to purchase and install a Spanish version of the Burning Crusade, which will automatically upgrade the game to full Spanish support as well as maintain English support.
How could I get an German or a French speaking version of the game? For French and German support, users who install the Spanish Burning Crusade will need to reinstall the desired Language Packs.

We are getting unconfirmed reports from several sources of a bug in World of Warcraft which cropped up in the 2.0 patch. The bug supposedly allowed for duping of gold. The reports claim that Blizzard has fixed the bug already, but that in the 10 hours which it took to squash it, something like 100,000,000 gold was duplicated by farmers.
If this is indeed true, then some programmer at Blizzard has a lot of explaining to do.
We will be issuing rolling restarts for all realms at 5:00 AM PST, December 8 in order to enable the arena battlemasters and arena system. We estimate each realm to be affected for approximately 15 minutes.
We will be removing the Karazhan key vendor and changing the availability of purchasing the Heroic Difficulty dungeon keys from Neutral to Revered with the next beta push. This change is expected to occur in approximately one week. Once implemented, players will need to do the quest for the Karazhan key or get the appropriate faction in order to buy the key for the Heroic Difficulty dungeons. We will not be removing already purchased keys from players so we suggest you get them while they are hot!
As many players noticed this morning the honor calculations were not run last night. This led to some confusion as there is a known issue when inspecting a player with no honor showing that they have a low number of honor (1-14). This number is in fact an error and is showing that player�s highest rank in the previous honor system, it is not an indication of how much honor they have earned.
We have run calculations for yesterday earlier this evening and players should now be seeing the honor they accumulated yesterday correctly displayed at the top of their honor window. This is the final honor from yesterday and can be spent on honor rewards. Players will see that the honor earned before from today have been reset to 0, this is only a display issue and no honor has been lost. The honor accumulated from earlier today will still be added to the total honor after tonight's calculation.
There is a second display issue affecting the �Today�s Honor� totals that may display an ellipses ��� instead of the estimated honor total. This can normally be temporarily corrected by either logging off and back in, or using the /console reload ui command. This issue is slated to be resolved in a future patch.
Throwing weapons have been converted into a new system as a part of the changes for the expansion. The new throwing weapons will now lose durability from the stack however they can also be repaired. When making these changes we were not able to convert the previously existent throwing weapons and they are now labeled as "broken" and are considered junk by the system.
The changes that we have made to throwing weapons will help to make them more viable in the long run.

I know that this thread is old and that is not really about conjuring food and water between level 60 and 70, but I thought I would reply anyway as we got some interesting news for you all :-)
Conjure food: When you reach level 70, you will be able to get a new rank of the conjure food spell.
Conjure water: At level 65 you will be able to get a new conjure water rank, and additionally there will be a book drop for when you reach level 70, which will allow you to knock up your conjure water rank another notch.
The developers are currently looking at the numbers on both the conjure food and the conjure water spells to make sure that they have the correct values.
There is a bug in the patch that is displaying all enchants as white text, which may cause them to appear as normal weapon stats. The bug is scheduled to be resolved in a future update.
