The Arathi Basin Reputation rewards and the Argent Dawn reputation rewards should become available after the next server restart. We will update tomorrow with remaining issues.

The patch we're running on Nostalrius is 1.12.1 so all of the items should already be in there. If they're not then that's lame... but i can see why they lock out certain dungeons because they need to finish scripting them first.

Either way Nostalrius will never truly be blizzlike because Blizzard didn't launch with 1.12.1 and then just opened up new raids... they journeyed through countless bugs and overhauls to reach 1.12.1 in during that time they also released new raids and dungeons.

That said, I like what Nostalrius are doing, it's not completely blizzlike but it's to be expected. But it should be acknowledged that we are playing patch 1.12.1 so all the items for that patch should be accessible. Just not all raids due to scripting...

You've got it all wrong.

This server is progressive. That means, the whole point of the server is to re-experience Vanilla WoW as it was originally released. This is why the loot in Molten Core was so shit for so long, why the tier 1 pieces, and many other items, had the old stats before being updated, why some items were not available and still are not, and so on.

But this doesn't mean that the server intends everything to be EXACTLY the same way Blizzard did it 10 years ago. For example, we use the spells and talent trees from 1.12 instead of starting them off the way they were originally and then updating them with each patch. The devs also made the decision to have Arathi Basin, WSG and the Honour system from the start rather than add them in at the appropriate time because, well, no one would play a server that didn't have PvP or ranking.

The dungeons aren't locked out because they haven't finished scripting them, the dungeons are locked out because they are being released in the order they were originally released with appropriate length gaps of time in between their release. The devs could have tested all of the content and then released the server with everything up to Naxx available on day 1, but the point was to do it progressively, the way it was done the first time.

This includes releasing the various items, and updating the stats on old items, as well as recipes and so on, with the appropriate patch number.

So the client is 1.12, but as of this weekend, the content of the game just hit patch 1.6, with a few exceptions here and there.

The next patch is expected to be 1.7 in November. That's when we will get Zul'Gurub and 16 debuff slots, among other things.
