What do lines like

"Nilbog: Redwind and icy orcs do not spawn until [Oct1999]."

mean?
For the current servers, it means nothing. This is because Blue and Green are in their final timeline state already.

These fixes would go into effect when a new server is launched. Then that feature won't be enabled on the newly launched server until the Oct 1999 patch comes out on the new server.

Is there clarification on pet tracking on whether this is a "classic" change or if it is a "we have a major problem with hate scripted pet tracking by two individuals and this is our unclassic change to try to fix that like the Lifetap and recharge nerf"?

Best thread I could find related to whether it's classic or not..

We have always made decisions on a case-by-case basis when it comes to Exploiting vs Classic Functionality and it is within our ability to do so. Pet classes should not be able to tell when a mob spawns from the other side of the zone.

I'm sure people will be quick to point out other potential exploits that they may want to see fixed, but as noted above a major consideration in any of our discussions is what would be involved to make a change. Some things may require significantly more work than others, or may not be feasible given current controls over the client.

It was a mechanic that would let you check if a mob was up no matter where in the zone they were. So was useful if you were checking if a quest mob is up and roaming around, or dead (like quill-mane) and your waiting for it to re-spawn.

if you weren't using it, wont affect you.

Now when you click pet attack on a certain target, if you're outside of attack range then your pet will not give you an "attacking X, master" message. Previously, if the mob was up the pet would give you that message, but not go attack it because it was out of range.

Raiding guilds would use pet classes to track spans in various zones in this manner, without actually having to be within range of the spawn point. They made this change because some (possible) RMTers have been farming in PoH using tis method for years (potentially automating the pet tracking). So this just makes it more difficult for them, while minimally impacting other players.
