Greetings, everyone!
We've been busy with more dev work, including:
Updates:
- Automatic patcher addon! All players now get automatic client patches on login. Current patches include:
- In-game store (see screenshot). The patcher addon lets you view our in-game store to spend your Tokens, get special vanity items and mounts, and useful raiding supplies. Access it through the game's options menu.
- Cross-faction unit frame dropdown menu.
- Twiggy's spell tooltip now refers to Twiggy!
- Numerous Yggdrasil Store tooltips corrected.
- The auction house deposit price now shows the reduced amount (20%).
- Improvements to shadows, items, and vote statistics on the website.
Shadows:
- Shadows will now participate in Free For All looting.
- Shadows will no longer randomly swap gear. To have your shadows swap gear, you must now whisper them "inv" to see their inventory and reply "e [link item to equip]".
- Swapping toons between your played character and your shadows will no longer disband your party if you are in an instanced map (dungeons, raids).
- Other players' shadows will no longer ask to be invited to your group in response to addon chatter.
Items:
New items introduced and available through the in-game store:
- Twiggy's Tonic: A reusable Potion of Haste.
- Twiggy's Scroll of Wisdom: A scroll that contains the buffs of all rank 8 buff scrolls. Can be applied to other players.
- The Trunk of Yggdrasil: A 36-slot bag, will be available in the store shortly.
Vote statistics:
A sidebox list of the top voters of all time and for the current month is now present on the website. Remember, voters with streaks exceeding 7 days will get double the Vote Tokens! Thank you for supporting our growth.

New year, new vote lists!
Happy new year, everyone! Every new year is a bringer of change. One of these changes is that (many) vote lists have reset. To ensure we set ourselves up for visibility and growth, it's important that we all collaborate to vote Yggdrasil up on the vote sites.
Each vote is awarded a Vote Token, exchangable in-game for vanity items and various currencies. New in 2025, however, is that each player that has voted for at least 1 week consecutively, will get 2x Vote Tokens per vote from day 8 for as long as the streak is active!
Happy voting!

Development update
Greetings, players! The last few weeks we've worked on a number of smaller changes to increase the Quality of Life for your gameplay on Yggdrasil.
Stability:
- Every time we have a server crash or hiccup, we bring out our best diagnostics tools.
- We had three crashes on 2024-11-27 caused by events scheduled on dereferenced creatures (ICC gunship and Zel'frax).
- An I/O issue also led to a stuck MySQL thread on 2024-12-01.
- These issues have now been worked out.
Quality of Life Changes:
1. Auction House changes: Max auction duration has been extended from 48 hours to 7 days based on player input.
2. Website changes: We have made a PvE statistics page on the website (https://yggdrasilwow.com/pve_statistics). Kudos to Xeen for leading the LK kills scoreboard! It currently covers ICC. Drop us a suggestion if you want more raids/encounters covered!
3. Dalaran Enchanter changes: As we now have a permanent presence of players with enchanting on the server, the Dalaran Enchanter is no longer needed. Accordingly, he will be phased out during December. On 2024-12-15, we are increasing the price of the Dalaran Enchanter's services to 5 Vote Tokens per enchant. Come year end, he will retire and his services will no longer be available.
4. Crossfaction Shadows: Shadows now support crossfaction interaction.

More Updates!
This time around, we bring the following changes:
1. Shadows
Introducing Shadows, the perfect opportunity to extend your gameplay by allowing you to log in up to two of your alts as party bots while you control your favorite character! Quick summary:
- From level 15 and up, look for the Time-Lost Void in your bag to get started. Your Shadows are active for as long as they are in a party with you.
- Their main usecase and design is geared towards dungeons, but they can also partake in open-world gameplay and raiding.
- This functionality is based on the AzerothCore playerbots module with additional custom adjustments to align better with Blizzlike gameplay.
- While the Shadows can be managed effectively using simple chat-based messages, for those that prefer a graphical way to interact with them, consider looking into the Unbot addon.
- Shadows must be within 10 levels of you, applicable to enter the zone you're trying to bring them to, and above level 15.
2. Redesigned Respawn Times on Gatherable Objects
We've made significant changes to the respawn times of gatherable objects. Pool sizes have been increased between 20% to 40% based on extensive testing and player input for most zones. Additionally, average respawn times have been reduced by between 20% to 50% depending on the zone and gather pool. High respawn-time pool entries would shift low respawn-time entries up as they'd become averaged, which these changes accommodate for.
3. Login Screen News
Important updates, notifications and more will now be shared to all players through the character selection screen.
Remember, if you have any questions about our features, including these new ones, don't hesitate to ask your Twiggy.
