Alright. So I was going through some old notes I made of my favorite and epic questlines from vanilla that I always wanted to do again, and some of them I never got the chance to do, most of them removed with Cataclysm or even earlier.
And now we got Kronos, the best scripted vanilla private server out there (according to themselves and so far even me after beta testing). I be damned if I am not able to finally get to experience some of these amazing questlines. Some of them are long chains that span across the entire world and they use alot of scripts and have plenty of events, which makes them even more epic of course!
This is not an "is it broken?"-thread. I can imagine that if these chains were broken somewhere along the questline, they will get fixed ASAP by Kronos team. In other words, this does not worry me at all. What does worry me however (on every private server thus far) is the scripting and how well they are able to handle the events that triggers during these chains. If these quests are not working properly when you complete them, ie not triggering a certain conversation etc, you never get the chance to do it again and see what was suppose to happen, unless you level an alt I suppose.
For me the quests in WoW are extremely important and I tend to spend most of my votepoints on quests issues in the bugtracker as well. One of the main reasons for me to play vanilla is to travel across Azeroth and quest quest quest, relive the nostalgia from something that is gone on retail.
So. I was going to ask if any of the beta testers and/or staff might provide me with some info on how these chains are working as of now. If anybody got around to test some of these let me know.
And I know that I can test it out myself but since these chains are very long, require travel and lots of time and sometimes are very hard to solo, I turn to the community for information to get a better estimate of what to expect.
Here is a list of some of the questlines:

TLDR: How are these epic questschains working script-wise? Are they well tested? Anybody tried it out during beta and can give any sort of feedback? Cheers!
