Black Market item names and shop pay menu
Auction lots show the item name, not a blank line. In the shop, choosing DP or VP no longer jumps the page. Launcher Update, then /reload for BlackMarketUI 1.0.2.
Updates
Updates
Fixes, additions, and improvements shipped to IceDNicco.
Armory 3D model and character page
The character viewer shows the full geared model again. Opening a character page no longer returns an error for casters.
Bots no longer need heroic-raid achievements to enter
ICC and Trial of the Crusader heroic still require you to have killed the last boss on normal. Bots in your raid skip that check. Quest attunes for real players are unchanged.
WotLK raids no longer scale down for small groups
Naxx, Obsidian Sanctum, Eye of Eternity, Vault of Archavon, Ulduar, Trial of the Crusader, Onyxia, Icecrown Citadel, and Ruby Sanctum keep full 10- and 25-player health. Bring a full raid or bots if you want the fight to match the loot. 5-man dungeons still scale with party size. Mythic+ is unchanged.
2000-bot living world: crash guards on the live image
The shipped world image guards bot chat when a bot has no AI, defers bot-AI rebuilds mid-tick, initialises RPG target lists before map threads start, and no longer follows a stale summoner pointer after a transport respawn. Living world stays at 2000 random bots. Party bots still answer in the language you type when that chat is enabled again.
Ling reagent bank: no crash on missing items
Opening Ling's gossip no longer crashes the world if a stored reagent was deleted from item_template. That row is skipped; your other reagents still show.
Self-Crafted challenge: foreign gear blocked on accept
You can no longer equip bought or looted gear and then accept Self-Crafted. The shrine refuses the challenge if any equipped item was not crafted by you. Iron Man and low-quality modes also refuse if you are wearing above-Normal items.
Login and skills no longer wait 10–90 seconds
Entering the world and pressing abilities waited on a frozen game tick. Map workers are capped at 6 so the world thread can move. Level Brackets (bots instantly re-rolling to your level) is off — that path hung the first real login. Bot AI chat that talked to the language model stays off until we say otherwise. After a world restart wait 2–3 minutes for bots, then log in.
Weapon glow (Eron) and level gifts at 20 / 40 / 60 / 80
Talk to Eron Glowpride in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, or Dalaran to put a cosmetic glow on your weapons. At 20, 40, 60, and 80 you get gold plus one toy in the mail (Foam Sword Rack, Flag of Ownership, Direbrew's Remote, Goblin Gumbo Kettle). Bots do not receive these gifts.
Worgen/Goblin removed; launcher 1.5.8; 2000 living-world bots
Playable Worgen and Goblin are off. The custom race pack hung the world on login, so it is gone from the core, the launcher, and your client on the next Play. Update the launcher to 1.5.8 — it deletes Data/patch-N.MPQ and the locale-Y overlay. Living world is back at 2000 random bots. Party bot chat follows the language you type. Realm chat (.chat), mixed BGs, 1v1 (.q1v1), White Fang pets, and guild houses stay.
QoL: realm chat, cross-faction BG, 1v1, hunter pets, guild houses
Type .chat or .joinglobal for realm-wide chat (IceDNiccoChat /join world still works). Battlegrounds and Wintergrasp fill across factions. Queue 1v1 with .q1v1 rated. Hunters adopt pets at White Fang in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, and Dalaran. Guild Masters buy a zone house at the Guild House NPC.
About the realm: developer, army, donations
About page updated. The developer is a Ukrainian National Guard serviceman since 2022 and a WoW fan. Donations support the National Guard of Ukraine and IceDNicco. Shop is not pay-to-win. Rates: x1, optional .xp x2/x5. Weekend bonus only on announced events. Living world ~2000 bots.
QoL: reagent bank, extra storage, whistle, upgrades, guild levels
Ling stores reagents. Extra Storage banker is account-wide. Flightmaster Whistle (no custom MPQ) flies you to a known taxi. Honorable-kill PvP titles are granted. Talk to Item Upgrades to spend gold on stat ranks (no random titanforge; weapon speed off). Guilds gain XP and Cata-style perks. Challenge shrines in starting zones are opt-in. Weekend rates stay 1.0 on this x1 realm. Class spells are learned on level-up (not a first-login dump).
QoL: shared quest loot, bot buffs, arena watch, account mounts
Party members can all loot a quest item from an NPC. Idle city bots may buff you (Fortitude, Intellect, Mark of the Wild, Kings) — no chat. Arena Spectator NPCs in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, and Dalaran. After a raid boss, Bloodlust exhaustion and long CDs reset. .tokenturnin redeem converts T7–T10 tokens on your bots. Mounts, pets, and heirlooms are shared on the account (Edward Findle for heirlooms).
Open world: more bots at your level, walking nearby
Random bots stay spread from 1 to 80, with extra bots moving into the level range of whoever is online. In cities and the open world they walk between nearby spots instead of teleporting. Chat spam stays off.
