Update realms to version 5.4.8

[Juster]

After almost half a year of development, we are ready to set a date for the release of patch 5.4.8 on the main realms, but more on that below.

 

Preface:

 

First I would like to summarize periods of CBT and OBT was corrected more than 500 bug reports on all aspects of the game, most of them were composed by our players, for which a special thank you to them.

 

Behind hundreds of hours and weeks without days off, and in general we were able to recover all of the content after the transition to the new patch, and make PvP and PvE content is much better than the current patch 5.4.2.

 

Closer to the weekend, we will update the current Test Server 5.4.8 to the latest version with a lot of fixes, if someone has a desire to go and see the amount of work carried out, you can do it since 05.09.14.

 

List of major fixes for the period OBT: http://forum.pandawow.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=224 + many more fixes which have not been reporting.

 

About update:

 

What you need to know:

 

After update we will save all on your characters, exceptions:

 

- Characters up to 10 level, inclusive, which haven't been playing for more than 2 months will be removed, if you need them, just go for them in the game.

- Currency, Conquest points and Valor points will be converted to Honor points, up to the limit in 4000 and the remainder over the cap currency will be converted into gold.

- Arena stats will be removed because started new arena season.

- All dungeons and spells cooldowns will be removed.

 

How to connect:

 

- Make a copy of the current MoP client to a new folder, because playing from 1 client on 2 versions at once is not recommended, it can be a problem because of the differences in them.

- In the directory with a new client, delete the folder Cache.

- Download Launcher 5.4.8: link / mirror

- If you need not Russian locales for a client, download new config file with locale you need: Spain, Germany, France, English, and replace previous dowloaded config.wtf file.

- Put it in a folder with a new client and run the launcher(64 or 32 bit).

 

If all goes well, in the list of realms you will see one game world: "PandaWoW x10", and it means that your client is ready and set to play on 5.4.8.
