Are they supose to work ?

Will we get an eventual patch that will fix them?

Meetings stones are just that. Stones that you meet other people at. It is not broken or bugged, this is how they were intended.

 

It was only changed in later expansions to give the summon ability.

 

Edit: (TBC) Patch 2.0.1 (05-Dec-2006): Meeting Stones now function similar to a Warlock Summon spell.

Well meeting stones were a sort of dungeon finder  you could even join the queue from inn keepers as referenced here. It didnt port you to the dungeon or anything, but it formed groups.

Patch 1.5.0 (2005-06-07):
Innkeepers around the world now have a gossip option that lets you join a meeting stone directly from the innkeeper rather than going to the location of the meeting stone. Also these Innkeepers will now have background lore about each of the dungeons.
Levels Required for meeting stones have been increased. The intent is that a group will not receive party members from a meeting stone that don't really have a chance of completing the dungeon.
Meeting Stones have had their rules for what players are grouped with what other players relaxed. This means groups who use meeting stones (or innkeepers) should have their groups formed much more quickly than they were previously.

When will Meeting Stones be functional on Elysium?

As of Patch 1.5.0 Meeting stones were functional -- they were not cosmetic.

The stones are working as intended. TBC introduced the summoning aspect similar to a warlock summon spell. Also, the original intention of the meeting stones was to put you in a group based on your class it did not function properly during vanilla at all and even with the many revisions that Blizzard made during vanilla, it was not until TBC that they somewhat fixed the stones.

Also, if you want to get technical, meeting stones were not introduced until patch 1.3

Thanks for the clarification. I have tried to use a Meeting Stone but it didn't seem to work. I am new to the WoW legacy server scene. I just figured that as each patch progresses the devs recreate all of the features of WoW. It sounds like Meeting Stones have no purpose other than cosmetic value. If they do actually function then it's news to me.

Here's a good article on the history of Meeting Stones:

"In March 2005, patch 1.3 gave us Blizzard's first attempt at a grouping system: the lowly meeting stones. In their first incarnation, meeting stones could be clicked to place you in a queue for their dungeon. The queue tried to match you up with players of a similar level and to find a tank and a healer."

"Blizzard tried to salvage meeting stones in patch 1.5. They gave innkeepers the ability to act as meeting stones for nearby dungeons. They relaxed the system to help groups form more easily."

this is what we're supposed to have. but its a really useless feature actually

As a Warlock, this thread sickens me!  I summon people, not some lifeless silly stone!  Of course, with a little help from my friends :D
