Item buff hotfix : World of Warcraft General Discussions

"We have implemented a hotfix to all realms during today's maintenance which we had originally scheduled to release with patch 1.12 that changes the functionality of temporary item buffs (e.g. poisons, sharpening stones and shaman weapon buffs.)

While we only just recently allowed the effects of these temporary item buffs to persist upon zoning and logging out, due to the extra demand it was placing on our hardware we've decided that for the time being, it was best to revert the change.

Please note: We do anticipate this functionality will be available again once the anticipated hardware upgrades have been completed in preparation for the Burning Crusade's release."

So very very lame. The one thing that I have been looking forward to and many others gets taken out until 1.12 and who knows when that will come out.
