The Children of War ( Game Update 60 ) went live earlier this week and is full of content for all playstyles. The Fortress of Drunder offered adventurers four new raids and three new heroic dungeons. Daily solo shard missions are being offered by the Coldain Agent Provocateur, Bas Darkfrost.

All U.S. servers will come down for a hotfix at 7am PDT on Friday, June 3, 2011. The expected downtime is one hour. The Splitpaw server will have its hotfix at 5am London Time on Saturday, June 4, 2011. Estimated downtime is 2 hours.

Negative Casting speed debuffs will now apply the correct amount of increases instead of max increase at all times. Source: Station Launcher
