Notes[]
- During a brief period during the Love is in the Air event in patch 3.0.9, a bug caused players to continually receive the global message "The Ice Stone has melted!". Specifically, whenever a player turned in a Love is in the Air gift to the quest giver in Stormwind City, it also mistakenly triggered the same event as the Ice Stone in the Slave Pens, but since the player was in the open world and not inside a dungeon, the emote was displayed to every player on the continent.[1] The bug was hotfixed during a round of off-peak rolling restarts.[2]
Patch changes[]
- Patch 2.4.0 (2008-03-25): Added.
