Following the release of patch 1.0.5, a further update to Warhammer Online has addressed a large number of bugs in various quests and PQs, the full list of which can be found in the hot fix patch notes. A handful of RVR-related problems were also quashed, most notably the lack of Healer NPCs in Kadrin Valley warcamp, and some missing set items in Tier 3 Gold Keep bags.Further tinkering with client performance and stability made it into this hot fix as well, with a focus on "periods of intense combat" -- we'll have to see how that one pans out. However, arguably the best part of the patch is one of the simplest changes -- WAR's EULA will now only need to be agreed to when changes are made to it. Joy! It's the little things in life that make us happy.

The in-your-face EULA was so annoying. I quite WAR before I had to pay a monthly fee. I did not remove WAR from my hard drive due to the obtrusive but when I did it crossed my mind and I said..."What were they thinking?"

What's the deal with re-accepting EULAs and TOSes anyway? Some games require it every boot up, others only when it changes. Originally, WAR required you to agree to both every time, then they changed it to just one. At the time, their reasoning was that their legal team said it was required for the terms to be enforceable. So what changed? I'm not aware of any major legislation passing or landmark court cases involving EULAs...

My thoughts exactly. GOA posted that they made the change due to 'player feedback'. Apparently they're trying to hush-up the 'legal' explanation from earlier, which just made no sense...
Who was going to read it each time? How would you know if anything changed? And they even encouraged you to accept without reading by removing the requirement to scroll to the bottom.
They should never have tried rationalizing it in the first place and just given us what every other MMO does.
