Edit: I've started another thread specific to the honor system but in the same format. It can be found here:
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?ForumName=wow-general&ThreadID=2844244
The purpose of this post is to attempt to bring together, in one place, a list of the important topics that Blue has recently responded to in the official forums. My hope is that the community finds this useful and will help me in adding to this thread and improving upon it. Constructive comments about the thread itself or pointers to responses I may have missed are greatly appreciated and desired.
The purpose of this post is not to provide a place for people to:
- Bash Blizzard or their employees
- Comment on the topics covered
- Ask new questions
If you have a comment or question about any of the topics you see here I would ask you to please follow the link(s) provided to the topic/thread in question and comment there. It's a far more appropriate place for your comment with a much greater liklihood of receiving a response from the community (players and Blue). Likewise, if you have a new question regarding something not covered here, please consider starting a new topic in the appropriate forum.
Please also note that I am not a Blizzard employee and as such I have no power to make official statements about the game or to help you if you're having a problem in game. If you need assistance or have a question I would strongly urge you to seek help in the appropriate forum (General, Technial Support, etc.) or within the game itself (Contacting a GM).
Thank you!

105.) I went looking for Highlord Bolvar in Stormwind Keep to complete a quest but he wasn't there and didn't respawn for some time. Did he despawn unintentionally (a bug) or is this working as intended? (04/22/05 by Caydiem)

"He may have also died due to the quest. He no longer solos the attack -- people must help him to finish the quest. If they didn't, he may have died, which means it'll be a few hours."
106.) I am unclear as to whether or not items/buffs that give "+Attack Power" apply to Ranged Attack Power or not. Could you clarify this for me? (04/21/05 by Caydiem)
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-hunter&t=261321&p=1&tmp=1#post261321
"Buffs that do not explicitly state that they give Ranged Attack Power on the in-game tooltip do not, and this is intended. Items that give +Attack Power boost both melee and ranged Attack Power. This is intended. The developers are in discussions on ways to make this more clear to the player."
107.) Since the last patch when I type a . in certain circumstances (IP Address for example) it is replaced by a , automatically. Is this a bug? (04/21/05 by Slouken)
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-interface-customization&t=118700&p=1&tmp=1#post118700
"Whoops! *grin*
This too is being fixed in the next mini-patch.
Thanks for helping us test our European decimal code!"
108.) Shoulder armor on all undead models seems to have shrunk recently. Was this change intentional? If so why and can you change it back? (04/26/05 by Caydiem)
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-general&t=2829161&p=1&tmp=1#post2829161
"a) Yes, it was intentional.
b) Several spaulder sets caused very noticeable and very unseemly clipping issues with the Undead's hunch.
c) No, there are no plans to change it back at this time"
109.) It seems like all of the end game content currently is very fire focused. When are we going to see frost/shadow/etc. based dungeons? (04/23/05 by Tigole)
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-dungeons&t=26876&p=1&tmp=1#post26876
"There are some fire-based encounters in Blackwing, but no where near as many as in Molten Core.
We have some cool Nature/Ice/Shadow zones in the works.
We want to allow players to wear their hard-earned raid gear as long as possible before swapping out for resist gear. Because of this, we're approaching creature and zone design a little differently for future raid zones."
110.) I heard there's an easier way for the Horde to access Gnomeregan than traveling to the instance entrance. Is this true? (04/23/05 by Tigole)
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-dungeons&t=26809&p=1&tmp=1#post26809
"The Horde can gain easy access to Gnomeregan through a quest in Orgrimmar. It starts in the Engineering building back by the warrior trainer.
Once you do the quest, you can teleport from Booty Bay, straight into the public section of the dungeon."
111.) Are there any plans to allow others in my group an easy way to view the health of my pet? (04/22/05 by Caydiem)

"While I know this isn't much for you folks, I just wanted to let you know that there's a UI feature in the works (no timeframe yet) that should allow your groupmates to see the health of your pet. :)"
112.) Is there any way for a guild to change it's tabard without disanding the guild and then reforming it? (04/22/05 by Caydiem)
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-general&t=2753950&s=new&tmp=1#new
"Not currently...
:)"
113.) Some people believe the anti-fear trinket (available to some classes as a PvP reward) is unbalanced for those who use fear as a defense mechanism. Are there any plans to change how it works or increase the cooldown timer? (04/28/05 by Fangtooth)
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-priest&t=168863&p=1&tmp=1#post168863
"The trinket is not going to change. The developers do not feel it will upset the balance of PvP to the point of needing to nerf it. Only certain classes can use the trinket and it is only usable once every five minutes. I don't see it as something that can be abused."
114.) Since the last content patch it seems that the requirements for Solid Dynamite have changed to require 3 Runecloth. Was this intended or not and if not when will it be fixed? (04/20/05 by Caydiem)
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-general&t=2700475&tmp=1#post2700475
"The change was not intended. It has been fixed internally and should go live with the next patch.
You should only need one Solid Blasting Powder and one Silk Cloth when it is fixed.
Our apologies for this mixup. :/"[ post edited by Derlin ]

Thanks for the post Derlin! As this post hasn't been updated in awhile, and because we don't want to clutter up the stickies, we will unsticky this post for the time being.
If Derlin would like to return and continue his incredible efforts for the community, we'll be glad to resticky. :)
