* ****Documented changes****
* **Undocumented changes**

## General

* Voice Chat - The new Voice Chat feature is now available in game. Players will need to go into the options menu under Sound & Voice to activate it. Volume sliders are available for the microphone, speakers, and game-audio fade (which automatically lowers the game audio when a voice communication is received), as is a “push-to-talk” setting. Right-clicking on a player’s name now includes the option to mute or unmute that player. Muting another player blocks all voice chat from him or her; the ignore feature now blocks both voice chat and text chat from that player. For the Voice Chat FAQ visit the following links:

	+ **0. Voice Chat FAQ Update 8/29** 08/29/2007 06:31:47 PM PDT by Drysc
* Chat Channels - New Chat Channel controls and functionality are now available under the chat tab in the Social Window of the interface. The interface will now show the channels players are in or are available, depending on the area of the world they are in, along with new private channel controls.
* Haste: Haste has been rebalanced. It has returned to the ratios from the launch of Burning Crusade. Melee attacks and spell casts will now benefit at identical rates from haste. This change results in a reduction in the benefit of haste for melee attacks and an increase in the benefit for spellcasters.
* Auction House generated emails for successful auction sales will now have a one-hour delay and is no longer instantaneous.
* Troll Berserk: The spell haste on this ability was incorrectly too high and has been corrected.
* Resilience rating: The reduction to the percent chance to get a critical strike now also reduces the damage dealt by damage over time effects by the same percentage.
* ~~Daze: Defense skill will no longer reduce the chance players have to receive the Daze effect when attacked from behind by enemies.~~ *"The Daze change was NOT implemented in this patch and was pulled."*[1]
* Area Spells: In some cases guards in neutral areas would not aggro against pvp attacks from area spells. That is now fixed.
* Corrected the damage modifier calculation for Resilience when the attacker has bonus critical strike damage.
* Power Regeneration: Any effect which triggers a change in your rate of power regeneration (Mana, Rage, Energy, Focus) will now cause an immediate reward of some power at the old rate of increase, and then begin new “ticks” of power at the new rate approximately 2 seconds later. This was done to improve functionality of abilities such as Evocation and Innervate so that they did not have wasted “ticks”.
* Pets are now affected by Paladin greater blessings.
* Kill Triggered Effects: Effects that trigger from killing your target will no longer trigger from killing your pet.
* Non combat pets may not be selected as the target for spells or abilities.
* Non-combat pets now have the tag "Companion" instead of "Minion".
* Being attacked by guardians, such as summoned Treants, will no longer automatically cause neutral guards to attack you.
* Meeting Stones can no longer be used to summon players that do not meet the level requirements.
* Damage and health leech effects always affect flying players even if they are immune to the rest of the spell’s effects while in flight.

## PVP

* Dueling players may not use a Lightwell that they didn’t create themselves.
* Battlegrounds
	+ A new feature for reporting players as being AFK in battlegrounds by right clicking has been added. When enough reports are registered, a 60 second debuff will begin to count down. Once the timer is up a new debuff will appear that will prevent the player from gaining any honor while it is on. This debuff can be negated as soon as the player engages in PvP combat.
	+ Eye of the Storm: The points awarded from capturing the flag now increase based on the number of bases the capturing teams owns.
* Arenas
	+ Arena calculations have been modified. In addition, the penalty for smaller arena teams (2v2, 3v3) has been slightly reduced.
	+ Items that are indicated as quest items in their tooltips and have a "use" or "equip" ability will not work in PvP arenas.
	+ Players will no longer be able to change armor once an arena battle has begun. Changing armor will still be available during the one-minute prep time prior to the battle. Main hand, off hand and range weapon swapping in combat remains unchanged.
