Details

2.1 added a new argument called uiType to GetWorldStateUIInfo, because this was added as the first argument you will have to update any code that uses this function.
uiType appears to be 0 for the first valid index and 1 for every other valid index (valid indexes being 1 to GetNumWorldStateUI())
In The Burning Crusade this is used for more then just PvP, you can find it used for some instances like Black Morass.
