WoW Forever: 1 copper auction deposit and mail fixes go live

The 1 silver minimum deposit on the WoW Forever auction house is going away. Blizzard's hotfix list for 10 November sets the minimum back to 1 copper, a change that arrives with realm restarts rather than all at once. Principal game designer Kris Zierhut promised the change last week without giving a date.

Two mail bugs are fixed with the same restarts. Unread mail no longer shows as coming from the Stormwind Auction House for every player, and some mail that was arriving in about 2 minutes now takes the intended 60 minutes again.

All racial vendor mounts are now Bind on Pickup, so a mount bought from a racial vendor binds to the character who buys it. Blizzard gave no reason for this change in the notes.

Engineers get news that may matter before raids open: Swiftstrike Shot and Swiftfeather Arrow are no longer Bind on Pickup. Neither is available until raids unlock, but Blizzard is announcing it now because it may influence which profession players choose, and says they were never meant to bind on pickup. Vendors also pay less for some Bind on Pickup armour crafted with Leatherworking, Tailoring and Blacksmithing, items each player was meant to make only once for themselves.
