March 24th by Rygarius

Here you'll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to the recently released World of Warcraft Patch 6.1. Hotfixes are updates made on our end without requiring a new client-side patch. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require the realm to be restarted to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.

Hotfixes have been listed by the date they've been implemented. Also available, hotfixes compiled by category for those wanting a quick summary of all hotfixes that have been applied since the start of World of Warcraft Patch 6.1.

Tags may be added to some hotfixes to denote a special condition.

  • [Requires a realm restart] means the hotfix will not take effect until after a scheduled rolling restart or maintenance.
  • [Hotfix in testing] means the hotfix is in early stages of testing and may not be implemented just yet. However, the change is important and is posted to provide as much advanced notice as possible.
