Nothing, been a deafening silence ever since the  Nostalrius
explosion. I'm thinking they're just hoping by ignoring it people will
stop asking, so I don't really have much hopeof it now, but hey, maybe
someday. Nostalrius proved there's a market for it - whether that
market is big enough to be worth their while is another question.

And yeah you're not missing a lot with 7.2 - Broken Shore is a
disappointment after how amazing Suramar 7.1 was, oh well it gives me
time to catch up a bit (having missed several months and now juggling
2 games), I'm aiming to actually get my first Gul'Dan kill tomorrow's
reset... (yes, on LFR, that's how far behind I am lol). In fairness
7.2 isn't terrible, it certainly beats 6.1 (eh, not hard!), but it's a
bit lacking in storyline. 

However I've got plenty other stuff to do anyway, including pet/mount
runs in old content (the 7.1 pets in Northrend raids are driving me
mad, three of them just refuse to drop, I actually got Mimiron's Head
before any of them for goodness sake; not that I'm complaining there
lol ;-)), trying to complete my Nighthold LFR transmog set (very
reminiscent of priest tier 1 in colours), emissaries and world quests
in general for multiple different things... plenty to do in my reduced
playing time. Suspect I'd be bored if I wasn't also playing Guild Wars
2 though, luckily that game's still in the "new stuff!" phase for me,
and I'm deliberately taking my time working through it, thoroughly
exploring each zone before I move on.

Fun comparing the two games, both have different strengths and
weaknesses, but the one thing GW2 does that WoW doesn't is massive
open world events; you help NPCs with various stuff in a chain of
events, which get bigger and tougher, till it leads up to killing big
bosses on a par with WoW's world bosses. Tons of loot and exp along
the way and seeing a huugge group of people working together is fun,
I'd enjoy seeing that kinda thing in WoW. They're got mob scaling
right in that game too - everyone shares a tag (rather than only 5 in
WoW) but the more people in an area the more mobs spawn in events and
the tougher they are, so if you get a massive zerg running around
together you get really tough mobs that drop good loot, while if
there's hardly anyone around, it's still possible to complete most
events for the event rewards.
