    its not a content patch.. more a bugfix and removing things we done wrong patch.. should'nt even be called 2.15 IMO

    But they probably called it that as a publicity to make players who left the game think that there are new things

    No, they didn't. They are using a very standard version number convention.

    x.yz - X = drastic revisions to the entire software / expansion packs etc. y = Major content patches, z= minor patches. emergency hotfixes are unversioned updates.

    Obviously they use build numbers internally instead of the patch version number; but the patch verison is intended to be easier to understand to the end user, compared to Build 374612.

    I would prefer they used the convention 2.x.y instead to avoid confusion, since eventually patches are going to roll around to an actual 15th patch.

    Contents are mostly in main patches. 2.15 is a sub patch. In sub patches are mostly fixes, balancings and things that was not 100% finished for the main patch.

    Maybe it would be mor clear if they did the patch naming like in 1.0 and called it 2.1a
