According to the official patch notes of 1.8 for alterac valley
[li]The quests Korrak the Bloodrager (Alliance), Korrak the Everliving (Alliance), The Legend of Korrak (Horde), and The Return of Korrak (Horde) have been removed from the game. The rewards for the initial quest involving Korrak have been moved and can be acquired by completing the quest associated with winning a match in Alterac Valley. We realize that some players may have had the Korrak quest and never completed it. These players may have already completed the quest for killing the General and thus might not be able to benefit from the rewards from the previous quest line. We have opted to add an extra quest step at the end of the General kill quests to reward players that fall under such conditions.

It seems like the quest regarding korrak should be given a revamp, is there a reason as of why the quest remains unchanged or am I for some reason being terribly wrong and can't read patch notes to save my life.

Because the old alterac valley is here to stay for the purposes of experiencing the way it was truly intended to play out.

But then it can be argued that allowing AV to stay like this contradicts the "blizz-like" policy this server is trying to implement. Diverging from patch notes for the sake of nostalgia instead of proper blizz-like progression doesn't make sense given how hard the staff is trying to keep the server blizz-like.

If they were to spend all that time trying to create a classic av experience, only to remove it after less than a year I dont think they would have even bothered.

Hence the usage of 'trying'.

its nice waiting for 2 hours for korek to spawn, to get the kill and then have the server crash and rollback to a pre-kill state


never again

Fair enough. I just couldn't resist making that jab. Though 'trying' might be a bit generous.
