Updates

Bots are now held at the authoritative starting position during battleground preparation, including existing follow/chase movement from before the transfer. The hold is released at match start or when leaving. Classic Arathi Basin starting gates are also protected against player interaction before the countdown ends. Damage is blocked before combat starts and after a match finishes; combat is cleared for resurrected participants too. The return transfer requests revival and checks it again after the destination world is loaded, preserving the saved battleground entry point without adding resurrection sickness. Real players idle for ten minutes during an active battleground are removed through the normal deserter path. Movement, casting, dealt damage, healing and objective actions reset the timer; passive team honor and socket traffic do not. Existing staff deserter permissions remain. Bot movement recovery is limited to small corrections with a ten-second cooldown, and detached movement splines are cleared on map transfers; following a target on another map is refused. Automated checks passed: 95 cases, 1783 assertions. Countdown containment, dead-player return and the full AFK removal/debuff flow still require gameplay confirmation.

Fixed the player-kill reward path that left the reward recipient list empty, preventing honorable-kill honor from reaching players. Normal faction, level, inactivity and group-sharing rules remain. Corrected Warsong Gulch pickups: they now trigger within range, apply once and respawn. Added five randomized buff locations to Classic Arathi Basin, with a three-minute respawn after pickup. Bots cancel mount auras before interacting with battleground objectives. Replaced an instant platform-descent relocation with a bounded visible drop and prevent new movement intents from interrupting an airborne battleground jump. Completed battleground statistics are now persisted for the website ladders; old unrecorded matches cannot be reconstructed. ForeverBots 0.5.13 adds compatibility for ForeverGM in PvP instances: commands are prepared in the normal chat box and require Enter because the client blocks automated addon chat there. Core checks passed: 93 cases and 1773 assertions; live kill honor, pickups and a complete match still require gameplay confirmation. Communities are not implemented by this core; guild creation uses charters and four signatures. RFC has no scheduled raid-style lockout; account entry-limit rows survived these restarts unchanged. No raid-lock data was reset or modified.

Corrected allied corpse targeting used by Revive, which previously rejected the completed cast. Resurrection restrictions, reagents and cooldowns are preserved. New battleground queues give real players 60 seconds to register before bot filling; later arrivals do not reset the window, and abandoned queues do not spawn bots. A full human roster can start earlier. Each faction is filled only to its remaining capacity, without adding a second premade after filling the slots. Classic Warsong Gulch start gates are controlled by the countdown and cannot be opened by player clicks. Bots stay in their start area until the match begins. Automated checks passed before deployment; released and unreleased bot resurrection and a complete WSG match still need client confirmation.

Fixed battleground bot creation to use playable Classic and Skyborne races, and explicitly set the realm level cap to 60 so the bot system selects Classic rules. Corrected a protection check that prevented bots from defending themselves against hostile gossip-only creatures, including Al'Aketh Stormchasers; guards, civilians and service NPCs remain protected. Fixed Skyborne faction selection for repair vendors. Bots are hidden from /who for administrators as well as regular players when the hide setting is enabled. A missing explicit spell target now cancels the cast with a diagnostic warning instead of crashing the world; this guards the failure captured during bot resurrection. Successful resurrection still requires in-game confirmation. The admin panel validates battleground type lists. Quest 93459 now explains its reputation reward in English and Russian. It remains a repeatable five-ear reputation turn-in, and its +1000 reputation delivery was verified. Automated checks passed before deployment. Please reconnect and queue again. Full battleground matches and remaining movement issues still require gameplay verification. Raised the world container memory limit from 8 GiB to 12 GiB after confirming an out-of-memory kill; the change was applied live and persisted for future deployments.

IceDNiccoAdventureGuide 1.1.0 adds recommended questing zones based on your level, faction and starting race, including Skyborne. A suitable current zone is prioritized; selecting a recommendation opens its map. Active quests and server help have separate tabs. Update through the launcher and fully restart the game, then use Shift+J, the book button or /idnguide. These are suggested questing ranges; individual quest requirements still apply. This is a compatible Forever guide, not the retail boss and loot journal. Recommendation filtering and map-navigation tests passed; please report any incorrect suggestions.

IceDNiccoBags1.0.4 adds the player-confirmed native bags-item-slot64 background only to empty combined-bag slots. Refreshes after native UpdateItems, bag changes and window opening; hides the background when filled. Native icons, counts and click handling remain untouched. Movement/refill tests and public signature/archive checks passed. Update via launcher and reload the UI. Automatic live-client refresh still needs confirmation.

IceDNiccoBags1.0.3 restores only the missing EMPTY_BAG_SLOT_EFFECT_COLOR constant. Its absence aborted native UpdateItems, leaving blank/stale item buttons. Player diagnostics confirmed an error before initialization and true afterward. Earlier custom icon/rarity rendering hooks from1.0.0–1.0.1 are retired; the new version does not alter native rendering, click handlers or inventory. Public signature/archive verified. Update through the launcher and reload the UI. Final visual and item-use confirmation remains pending.

IceDNiccoBags1.0.1 adds green, blue, purple and orange quality borders to uncommon, rare, epic and legendary items in standard combined bags. Borders clear on slot changes/empty slots without changing quest markers.16 Lua checks and public manifest signature/archive verification passed. Update through the launcher and restart the game. Live client visual validation remains pending.

Published IceDNiccoBags1.0.0 through the Forever launcher. It refreshes standard combined-bag icons from current item data after opening and asynchronous item-data loading. Inventory, item data and bag settings are unchanged. Ten standalone Lua checks passed; public manifest signature and addon SHA-256 verified. Fully close the game, let the launcher install the addon, then launch again. Live visual validation remains pending.

Added native NPC-attack immunity to Vayn Moongaze254151 and Maelgwyn Shadowtale258239 near the Shadowgale cave. Quests, vendor services, factions and player-attack rules are unchanged. Reported259239 is a different NPC; the nearby character was identified as258239. PvP restarted and ready. Long-running client observation of hostile-mob attacks remains unverified.

Completed Russian description and request text for More Al’Aketh Ears93459; added missing English/Russian completion directions. Preserved the Russian title/objective. Increased query-cache version26091 →26092 so clients re-query stale server text on login. Verified five-ear objective, seven loot sources, six map blobs, NPC254151 start/turn-in and repeatability after93165. Rewards/progress unchanged. PvP ready; actual client rendering remains unverified.

Removed the unrelated25667 →412 link that made the core generate a hidden required prior quest. Quest412 already had the correct minimum level7, Razzle1269 starter and no direct prerequisite. The previous reward/binding fix did not remove this incoming link. Objectives, loot, rewards and Gumpy progress are preserved. PvP restarted and ready; client quest acceptance remains unverified.

Fixed access to Distracting Jarven308 and guarded-barrel flavor403 during Bitter Rivals310. Carrying the supplied replacement item already marks310 complete, while the old negative prerequisite accepted only incomplete quests. Both active states are now allowed and Jarven no longer depends on completing barrel flavor first. Preserved one Thunder Ale2686 hand-in, Jarven movement and the existing40-second unguarded-barrel window. Gumpy quest/items unchanged. PvP restarted and ready; complete client dialogue/barrel interaction remains unverified.

Audited the79007/79008 →79192 →79980 →79974 →79975 →79976 chain, nine object bindings, prerequisite gates and rewards. Machetta had completed79974 but was standing6.4m above the old figurine point. Moved424007 onto the VMAP-confirmed platform at Loch Modan49.55,12.62, Z298.725 and updated its map marker. Player progress unchanged. Forever now exposes only PvP realm70; Test service/container and stale realm records removed, Test character data archived. PvP restarted and ready. Complete client chain/wall interaction remains unverified.

Added missing collection-area and turn-in map data for repeatable93459. Reused recorded93165 geometry for the same item258771 and NPC254151, remapping to objective466624:6 POI blobs/22 points. Added Russian title. Preserved five-ear objective, repeatability,93165 prerequisite and rewards; seven existing loot sources verified. Test/PvP restarted and ready. Client map rendering remains unverified.
