A couple just need updates, that's all.

First, we've got the one that goes a little like this:
"You can send mail from any mailbox in the game."

Wrong. You cannot send mail from any mailbox in the game. You can send mail from any of your faction's mailboxes. Horde cannot send mail from inside Gnomeregan, nor can we swing by the Lion's Pride Inn to drop a letter for Thrall letting him know we're keeping the lowbie Human population in check.


On a related note:
"Unopened mail remains for 30 days, opened mail for 3."

This was changed fairly recently, mail now stays for the full 30 day duration even after being opened. Also, mail from Blizzard has a 90 day duration, even if unopened.


Lastly:
"An item whose name in white is useful in some way to other players and may be sold in the Auction House."

Please include another line stating "But this is no reason to buy 40 recipes for cooking Brilliant Smallfish and price them for 12g apiece. Vendor-based recipes can stay on the vendors."

I believe these are in the process of being updated in the 2.2 patch, and due to the large amount of implementation and testing required for the loading screen tips they're the largest contributor to the patch development length. *snicker*
