Updating wow to 4.0.1, I wee’d myself a little

Oh lordy! Well servers aren't supposed to be up till at least 12 Paris Time, but how exciting is this!?

Also, apparently Quick Auctions 3 has been discontinued, so far two different addons have been created to replace it. May the best one win.

Expect both to be extremely buggy, however Marcko tweeted that he got Zero Auctions working by turning off everything else.

I believe there are ways to import your old QA3 settings into both addons, however, with the chaos the AH is going to be today the fallbacks and prices you've set are going to mean diddly squat so consider jacking up your glyphs and gems an awful lot.

Update

Well after the usual patchday woes and struggling with the launcher saying "Lost Connection with Downloader" I managed to work out that you need to run launcher.exe as administrator. Go to your wow folder, right click on launcher and click on Run as Administrator. I imagine this problem will only happen in Vista/Windows 7.

So now I'm going to give the streaming updater a go, to see how playable wow is while it's still streaming the patch.
