We'll try our best to consolidate all the changes made on the server here. Otherwise, Blizzlike and Vanilla content is the default setting for the realm. As you know, the server is running on version 3.3.5a as the core, since we are using the Individual Progression Mod, all WotLK catch-up mechanisms have been removed (no Heirlooms) and replaced with Vanilla content. Certain things may have been restored and/or removed, including spells, gear, vendors, XP, loot, items, NPCs, recipes, quests, classes, mounts, mobs, bosses & etc. Some changes will revert back to the original WotLK expansion once character reaches a certain level of progression, so each character will have their own progression from Vanilla to WotLK. For example,
- Character had lower health pools from levels 1-60 compare to WotLK
- Character damage and healing are slightly reduced from levels 1-60 compare to WotLK
- After completing Vanilla content, those end-game gear will be nerfed, and player should replace it with TBC gear. The same will happen with WotLK gear. This forces players to upgrade their gear; otherwise, new expansion gears will be wasted.
- Death Knight class is only available after reaching WotLK content
- Original bosses behavior from Vanilla and TBC are restored
- All original TBC Attunements are restored
