While we're still HKO Insider, we do have some nostalgia left for our former game, and since we saw this thing that more or less looks like some legitimate WoW news, maybe, we figured we might as well post it for old time's sake. (Ed: No more of this! HKO news only!)
While it's true that the 2.4 combat log has had a few glitches, it seemed like at least a good portion of them were fixed in today's patch, and we could expect the log to be used at it's full potential soon enough. However, apparently... No dice. Blizzard poster Slouken announced today that patch 2.5 would feature a complete rollback of the 2.4 combat log changes. Hope all you programming-type dudes kept old copies of your 2.3 addon code.
Then again, you might want to look at the date and hold off for another 24 hours before you start panicking and rewriting stuff. But then again, Slouken's keeping a pretty straight face about this! Then again once more, that's a lot of work on the part of the dev team to just abandon and roll back, and the thread itself isn't even stickied. So who knows?
Anyhow, stay tuned, we'll let you know if this pans out, or if Slouken just has a damn good poker face. If it is true, this also means that we're looking at a patch 2.5 before the expansion -- while it may not be a big content patch, there will be one more game update before Wrath.

Anyone who falls for this and believes that, firstly there will be a 2.5 patch, and secondly, that Blizzard will comepletely roll back the entire combat log change should have their WoW account cancelled and all their characters deleted prior to cancelling.

And 2.6 will rollback all of the changes made since Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. People just seem to prefer WoW pre-WoW.

/agree
i can't stand the new log, i do like how they changed the zone reset thing. i hate how it spazzes out everytime you leave a battleground or get off a flightpath. the settings are a little too specific for me to go in there and mess with it.
i just want to use simplecombatlog :(

This has got to be an April Fools prank. I don't see Blizzard scraping all that hard work. No dice!

Thank you! I agree! I'm sitting here trying to read about HKO and we are getting WoW junk. What do you guys get paid for?

Is it true that Blizz, taking a page from HKO, will introduce two new 5 man instances with 2.5? Monsters Under My Bed and Monsters In My Closet?
