Release Notes 8.0.1 are pretty short so here is a copy and paste of the details.
- Players who pre-purchased the Legendary bundle will now have access to the Horse Session Play quests.
- Players should no longer encounter a specific out of memory client crash.
- Further improvements to server performance have been made. These changes will be slowly rolled out across worlds as we assess their impact.
