Drysc from Blizzard has a tip for those wondering about the new key ring feature in the game. A lot of people are wondering where it is
The [key ring] icon won’t appear until you obtain something that could be considered a ‘key ring item’. Once you do obtain an item that can be stored on the key ring the icon will appear right next to the latency bar, to the left of your bags.
The Burning Crusade Bestiary got another update. This time, learn about the Eredar.
The eredar are one of the oldest known races in the universe. They comprise the commanders and strategists of the Burning Legion. Exceptionally skilled in magic, their mastery of the arcane arts is renowned throughout the scattered worlds of the Great Dark Beyond. The likes of Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, feared and loathed for their unmatched cruelty and cunning, are among the more infamous members of the eredar race - the vanguard of an unstoppable, demonic army bent on universal annihilation.
From Drysc last night:
Due to an issue earlier this evening, it was necessary that we bring down a select number of realms to correct character honor data. We are in the final stages of recalculating the honor which will resolve many of the honor display discrepancies you may notice in your honor tab. You may need to log off and back in to see the properly calculated totals or rank once they are completed.
Players on the realms brought down earlier this evening may see a displayed loss in the totals once the calculations have finished. No data has been lost from today’s issue. The honor totals displayed in the honor tab for the affected realms have been reset to zero; however, these totals do not reflect recorded honor in any way.
Once each subsequent calculation completes, the totals will fill in with their appropriate totals. For instance, once the calculations for tonight finish, the honor earned for today will be correctly displayed in the ‘Yesterday’ total.
Once again no data or honor has been lost, and during next weeks maintenance the entire week will be calculated and displayed correctly as ‘Last Week’. We apologize for the inconvenience this display issue has caused.
