Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hello sshroud / Drain and thanks for you interest in the server.
You're highlighting very interesting things in your post.

We fully agree with your suggestion as items delivered right now in these instance in a 1.12 stats are stronger that the one found when MC or Onyxia where available, so progression should be sadly faster than back in the old days.

But, Stratholme, Scholomance and Black Rock Depths as a 5 players instances instead of 10 doesn't really look as a nerf to us. For the corresponding items in these instance, until we find sources which tell us exacly which items were added, items will have to stay as it is.

For the Raid 20 things, we indeed found sources which allowed us to script the boss in a "pre-nerf" situation. It's maybe not the case for all bosses, but all the examples you gave s are already included in our server.

Regarding Alterac Valley, it's true that we didn't tell you more about what we did on it, so let's clarify this point : we scripted the pre-nerf Alterac Valley (what we call the real one) : Korrak, trolls, gnoll, harpies, shredder, old quests, world boss behaviour, etc. are all inside our Alterac, based on all the data we could find.

Thanks, I am glad to hear that, also glad for the fact that we can hear the input from what the developers thinks on matters like these. =)

Sounds promising, Viper. Thanks for the clarification.

>Muh blizzlike.

But seriously I'm surprised by this decision that changes the whole battleground for everyone while everybody is so reluctant on topics like the respec costs that concerns only a portion of the players...

Well, this was only just announced now. And if anything it's pretty clear that it's a good thing. So I don't see much reason of concern from anyone over it.

Yeah it's great tho. Nice move, thanks team.

Now let's release ZG when its loot is still useful, not after BWL, and we're gonna have a party!
