From the patch notes on the soon to be released 2.3.2 patch:

The various Hallow’s End broom mounts now have their proper real-time (rather than game-time) duration of 14 days.

Booooooo.
I like my broom. The splinters hardly ever poke my butt anymore.

aww no. They are really cool.

Good for transportation and for cleaning up around the place. Can't really say the same of elekks.

I thought the booms were implemented -because- of the Elekks.

I wondered when they were going to fix this...

Aww, but I likeded my broom...although it did look kinda perverse LoL I mean both my toons legs were really wide open and there was only this small stick, just not right he he he.

heh, remember the “Harry Potter Nimbus 2000 Broom” that mattell put out a couple years back?

I worked at Toys R Us when that came out. I always tried to cram as much subtle entendre into the sales pitch as i could

Well that baby did have a magic button if I remember right LoL
