World of Warcraft (WoW) Patch 3.1.1 is a small update to last week’s 3.1 patch. Patch 3.1.1 is going live today. The official patch notes have now been posted to the WoW forums.

You may have problem getting patch 3.1.1 to download. If you’ve converted to a battle.net account, you cannot download the patch via the traditional log-in-and-it’ll-start method. To get the patch to download, enter your old non-battle.net username and password and the game will begin downloading patch 3.1.1. It’s about 10-megs.

You can’t log-in and play the game with that user name and password anymore, but you can get the patch with it.

There are some in-game fixes for World of Warcraft (WoW) Patch 3.1.1. Some of the important changes include:

• In order to address issues with the dual talent specialization system, all players will have their talents points refunded. Players who have purchased dual talent specializations will have both specializations reset. Glyphs will not be affected by this reset.
• Characters who are not of the same race or class are once again able to view each others’ professions linked in chat.
• The mob packs in the XT-002 Deconstructor encounter can now be engaged separately and are no longer linked.
