Apparently it comes from some SNL joke when Blue Oyster Cult played, and someone told them to use more cowbell. It was apparently used in another SNL joke as well or something. Cowbell is a musical instrument. It seems to have evolved to some random saying, "this needs more cowbell" and I believe it means something is lacking and we need something more.
In this case they just decided to include it as a joke in the patch notes.

I haven't watched much SNL so I'm not too familiar with it, and never seen this particular episode. Besides, Blue Oyster just makes me think of the Police Academy movies...

I never even noticed there was a cowbell in that song.
Now re-listening to "Don't fear the Reaper," I have to agree. That song definitely needs more cowbell.
I mean, really. I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more cowbell. MORE COWBELL!~

As much as I like cowbells and believe the worl^H^H^H^Huniverse would be a better place with more of them I must agree with the earlier poster who called for more llamas. Can we please have some llama's in the next patch! -- Users are like a virus - each causing a thousand tiny crises until the host finally dies. |

It's amazing that people here can find ways - amazingly - to make ranting, incoherent posts about the fact that they included a joke from Saturday Night Life in the patch notes. I'm waiting for this one:

CCP, you are embarassing yourself as a software manufacturer by including such trivial and infantile puns in Patch Notes. Those notes are an important record of what has changed in the latest version and are needed for version checking, documentation, and quarterly reports.

I've only known one accountant, and she was mean, amoral, a *****, tried to buy drugs off of me, and almost married a good friend of mine. Thank god he got himself out of that one.

It seems to me that if adding the sound of Sleigh Bells to any song makes it sound like a Christmas Song (try it, itÆs actually true), that the addition of Cowbells would give it the sound of bull.... ummmà Country Western Music...
None of us is as dumb as all of us...

It was morphed into "needs more cowbell" in popular net culture, because it was featured in the world of roguecraft 3 video.

I've not read the whole thread, so sorry if this is a repost.
Traditionally, cowbells are shaken by spectators at downhill skiing to encourage the racers to go faster.
So logically, 'more cowbell' means 'get a move on', or 'faster'. In my mind anyway.
