Please check your facts....His respawn was not 2 hours...I know you are trying to go off of 10 year old memories but they are wrong. To many forums posts from EJ ... WoWhead ...Blizzard Forums! talk about under a 5min respawn....What are you doing man trying to sound smart and down talk other people being overly aggressive, when you dont even have your facts correct....

The 2 hour respawn is an artifact of the default Mangos database. It shouldn't be 2 hours, but it might be if it the respawn hasn't been updated here correctly. On PTR I think he had this very long respawn timer for a day or two before it got fixed, I'm unsure if they lowered his respawn permanently or just for the sake of testing.

From what I can find, his respawn on retail was only 2 minutes (June 2005):

This post implying that 3+ Alliance guilds all got attuned in a 20 minute span also would not make any sense if he had a 2 hour respawn (August 2005):

EDIT: Here's a good post from just one day after the BWL patch hit (13-7-2005) of people talking about how contested the spawn was on their server. One guy mentions getting the tag 7 times in one night.

Good find Theres even more posts regarding his blizzard respawn being just over 2min...I love people who look at wow head or dbvanilla showing default mangos stats and then saying..."I remember 10 years ago when i played"...LOL no you didnt you just wanted to sound tuff and amazing. Another thread Badtank attempts to sound all knowing and throw his weight around but is completely wrong again.

the respawn timer is 150 seconds if I recall correctly.

badtank is so alpha, such a tough guy. wish I could raid with this champion of champions

there is no way respawn time was 2 hours . this is just going to make brm a huge battleground for a week or even more...

Week? Try months, see hunter leaf quest.

Looking at the patch notes, the changes seem really arbitrary. Some stuff has been in the game forever, some of it was added in previous patches, some of it is added now.

Is there a consistency to what changes go through and when? (Other than class changes, which should all be 1.12 I think.)

It's just the raids and the gear that follows the patch progression. Everything else should be 1.12.
