Update 15 Hotfix 1 Release Notes

Update 15 launched last week, and with a fair number of issues. Turbine responded by applying a hotfix to address some of those problems.  Here is the list of changes:

“We have resolved an issue where Mac Yosemite users were unable to access the store or customer support pages.

We have fixed an issue where players dismounting a war-steed would lose whatever stance they were in at the time.

Varthmath lost his good looks when he wandered into Moria. He should have them back now.

Many of the Helm’s Deep epic battle quests that were missing the new gift boxes have been updated and will now give out their proper rewards.

During Volume 4 Book 2 – Chapter 2: Two Messengers: some of the Corsairs had rings who shouldn’t have. This should now be resolved.
