Achievements
- The Undying and The Immortal have been removed as criteria for Glory of the Raider (10 player) and Glory of the Raider (25 player) respectively, making it possible to complete the latter again.
- The guild achievement Everyone Needs A Logo is fixed.
- The [Bounce] achievement is now possible for those who previously could not complete it due to phasing issues.
- Certain achievements that previously did not show progress, such as [Rock Lover], [The Glop Family Line], and [Tol Barad Veteran] now display progress.
- The title The Exalted is now awarded for earning exalted reputation with 50 factions, up from 45. The title has been removed from players who had it previously if they do not currently have 50 exalted factions. Not sure if this removal was intended or a bug. Previously, the title required 45 exalted reputations but was grandfathered in to those who had originally earned it with only 40.

- Mousing over the Game Menu icon now provides two latency numbers; a home and a world.
