Mail system changes (ftw?)

In a change that didn't quite make the 2.1.3 patch notes, the behavior of in-game mail has been tweaked in order to help ensure that monetary transactions made via mail are legitimate. To give Blizzard more time to check mail-based money transfers, mail sent with coins attached will now take an hour to arrive (yep, just like all other mail). Now, before you get upset about this, let me add that transfers of both money and items between characters on the same account will remain/become instant. So you can shuffle things around between alts and bank characters faster than ever -- this change only applies if you're sending coin through the mail to other players.

Though I doubt this change will stop in-game gold-selling completely, it's good to see Blizzard continuing to be proactive about the issue.

Patch 2.1.3 released

After having had some fun on the PTRs, patch 2.1.3 has gone live this morning. It's still pretty much a small bug-fix patch; here are the notes:

World of Warcraft Client Patch 2.1.3

General
  • Read in-game mail will now be kept for thirty days instead of three.
  • The Warlock spell Incinerate has had the performance of its graphical spell effect improved.
  • The "Show Launcher" option has changed so that it now defaults to "On". Players will now see the launcher when running WoW by default.
User Interface
  • Improved the performance of conditional macros, slightly increasing the framerate.
  • Fixed a crash triggered by many unit frame AddOns.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed an issue with the movement of Archimonde's Doomfire.
  • Fixed the wand missile art on most Shadow based wands to show the correct graphical effect.
  • Infinity Blades will now despawn properly when the encounter with Kael'thas resets after a wipe.
  • Gan'arg Underlings and Felhound Defenders are now properly classified as demons.
Enjoy your not crashing as much and your better-performing-graphics Incinerate, when the realms go back up.

[thanks, Kompost]
