Blizzard Fixes 15-Year-Old WoW Classic Bug.

A typo in the spell script of the Legendary healing mace Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings, in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic made its special effect stronger than intended for 14 years. The shield granted by the weapon was supposed to cap out at 20,000, but an extra "0" in the script made that amount 200,000. The bug went unnoticed due to the fact that only a few players ever acquired the weapon, but with more players using it now, the bug was finally caught and fixed in a recent hotfix.

Blizzard Fixes Decade-Old WoW Bug.

Blizzard has fixed a bug in World of Warcraft Classic that had gone unnoticed for nearly 15 years. The bug affected the legendary weapon Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings, causing its stats to contain an extra zero, allowing it to potentially absorb 200,000 damage instead of the intended 20,000. The bug was fixed in a March 27 hotfix, and while it's surprising that it went unnoticed for so long, it serves as a reminder of how complicated games can be and how easy it is to overlook typos and other accidents.
