  • The loading screens for major zones (Kalimdor, Outland, etc.) have been updated to support widescreen resolutions.
  • The Micro Menu has had a few minor changes:
    • The Talents button is now visible to characters below level 10.

  • Name display for critters and vanity pets is now linked and can only be switched on or off together.
  • Equipment Manager
    • Any equipment included in an item set will now have all sets it is in included in its tooltip.
    • If the player wants to equip an incomplete item set, it displays, for which equipment slots the items are missing, instead of just the number of missing items.
  • The smaller version of the World Map can be moved, but it is initially locked. It can be unlocked by right-clicking on its title bar which gives a popup menu.
  • The backgrounds of some of the racial character select screens have had a haze added to better contrast between the background and the character in the foreground. This is notable on the Stormwind and Ironforge backgrounds for Humans, Dwarves and Gnomes.
  • The View Event option in the calendar now has a new option, Tentative, coloring your entry in Yellow.
  • Items can now be linked in custom chat channels.

  • If the quest consists of multiple parts, and you have completed one such part, that part will no longer be displayed in the Objective frame.
  • The Objectives frame is smaller now. The number of mobs you must kill, or the number of items you must collect for a specific quest is now displayed at the beginning of the line, instead of the end.
  • Tracked quests stay tracked on logging out.
  • At the bottom of the quest log when accepting a new quest, the experienced to be gained will be shown.
  • Right-clicking an NPC who is out of interaction range will now result in the error message, "You need to be closer to that character to interact with it."

  • The raid warning feature /rw, which was previously available for use to any member of a five man party will no longer work in a party at all. When you try to issue a warning with the raid warning while in a five man party you now get the message "You aren't in a raid."
