Where were you when the BBC saved WoW?

>>334272843
since when do we care about cuck news
>>334272843
BBC are shit, their online articles are dogshit.
I dont think anything can save wow, let alone black cocks.
>>334274706
>black cocks
thought BBC meant Blue Balled Cucks
>e-petition
Oh man, you really SHOWED THEM!
>>334275387
An e-petition, that doesnt even require a captcha
>>334275498
>>334275387
To be fair, an e-petition of 100k people and national news coverage is enough to at least make a bit of a scene.
I'm almost willing to bet that Blizzard will break down and open a legacy server, or that it was their plan all along but the just had to remove the competition first and gauge public response.
Or the more likely solution is Blizzard is simply pants on head retarded. Who knows.
>>334275657
They wouldnt add a server with an expansion coming out
>Release Vanilla
>Everyone quits for Legion
You know its true.
>>334275657
Well there's no doubt that this whole thing made a massive shitstorm around the internet
But there's no reason to expect Blizzard to have any kind of response
I played Nost but Blizz knows two things
This drama will blow over in a few weeks
Blizz cocksuckers always come back
Don't expect legacy servers until the game is on it's dying breath. (falls below 1m subs)
>>334276259
This exactly
Just a bunch of kids who think theyre revolutionaries, itll be old news by next week/end of April
>>334276259
this guy gets it. I played nos and had a lot of fun but they are just waiting for it all to blow over. But now that this has gained momentum every time blizzard releases anything everyone is going to be screaming they had more fun on nos
>>334275953
They already have literally dozens of servers up already.
What's one to three more?
>>334272843
>BBC saved WoW
>it's a petition
Where's the saving you spoke of, faggot?
>>334276635
hypothetically they wouldn't even need to add a new server. They could just merge the already dead as fuck servers they have now
>>334276635
But they would need 1-3 more for each expansion if all those 150k people want to play their individual expansion
>>334275953
Simple solution: you always need to have the newest expansion regardless of what version you play.
>>334275657
>>334275972
>100,000 clicks on online petition at change.org
>Internet shit storm
People actually think spam masked as petitions will make a difference? You kids are cute. I'm sure your righteous cause will be watched like all of the important issues that get put up on Change.org, like guys wanting to ride longboards during a marathon or a parent who wants their literally autistic kid to move up a grade so she won't feel bad about being held back due to shitty grades.
Keep deluding yourselves though cuz this shit is great for some laughs. The only way this shit will happen is if Blizzard goes under as a company and they open source that shit, or all those 100,000 signatures say they're willing to pay $20+ a month to run those servers.
>>334276989
Thats a given, what I was saying they would quit vanilla for Legion, the majority anyway even the minority because they want to try new stuff
>>334276743
I'm looking at the server list, and I'm seeing over 100 servers for the US alone.
Even if you're ultra generous and gave 2 servers for each pre-Cata Expansion for Western US, Eastern US, and Europe, one for RP, one normal one, It still won't add that much load.
Requiring a sub like you did for Old School Run Escape would be a good enough deal.
>>334277274
2 wouldnt be enough because a true vanilla experience would be 2500 server cap
and people wouldnt play it
they all want progression servers
wow didnt start at 1.12.1 patch
blizz would have to go back and fix all the bugs and exploits in each version, now why would they do that for a minority
>>334277662
>minority
It's better than nothing, no way wow has still 5.5 milion subs right now. If legion is really wod 2.0, it's gonna sink even lower to the point of wildstar level.
you think you do, but you don't.
>>334278214
so you want blizz to waste their time fixing old shit than adding new shit
new shit makes more than old shit
Um.

>>334278517
We had a delicious ice cream.
Blizzard pooped in it.
Yes we want to go back to the time when it didn't have poop in it.
Please don't try to put cherries ontop of the fecal matter and claim that it's 'fixed'.
Admit you shit in it, fix it, and move on.
>>334272843
>petitions
>>334278214
it will spike because people want to play demon hunters, then sink to below 5.5 million after 2-3 months when the players run out of content and the next patch is 6 months away if not longer

>>334272843
Thanks, Big Black Cock
>>334278634
Im talking about all the old bugs and exploits in old versions of wow
Vanilla progression wouldnt start at 1.12 because that is not a true vanilla experience
Blizzard would have to deal with you whiney bitches for every expansion pack legacy server for things they already fixed
>>334278517
I don't want that and i know that blizzard is swimming in money and could just refuse to open legacy servers out of spite. But if legion fails, i just want a progressive legacy server from vanilla to wrath, maybe with improvements but it's not necessary, as vanilla to wotlk has it's own storyline that closes and could be considered the "classic" wow. Honestly i wouldn't want it so badly if we had alternatives, but the mmorpg genre is so low quality that we have to beg for a 2006 game.
>>334272843
>100000 people who don't even play the game anymore
>mattering
>>334278634
No they wouldn't they could just continue regurgitating fecal matter onto modern WoW and leave Nost the fuck alone.
They don't have to fix bugs, they don't have to do shit, they JUST need to walk away and continue mixing poop, and making arthus come back from the dead for the next sequel.
Surprised 1500 chinks haven't opened up servers because China gives no fucks
>>334278935
>from Vanilla to Wrath
>implying you whiney entitled little shits wouldn't just shit your adult diapers and cry when 3.3 is on the horizon and demand they remove LFD from it
>and then they don't because that's not accurate to the past
>>334278763
Wow, taping the murders. That's some bold Isis level of shit
I'LL BE THAT MONKEY
>>334279082
LFD is not even that bad, the only thing i would remove is the istant teleport feature, i would make it much like battlegrounds in vanilla. Spamming in LFG isn't acceptable in the current year.
>>334275657
You don't want a legacy server. You think you do, but you don't.
>>334279287
>they add LFD but you still have to run to the dungeon
>"where the fuck is Tank"
>"sorry I don't know where entrance is lol"
>>334272843
OK im convinced this is some sort of ploy
WHo is behind this
Was it blizzard
Is this a PR campaign for the upcoming vanilla servers?
There are barely any nost rage videos on youtube and nothing in general forums after a week
Calling bullshit
I bet this is some sort of shock campaign to revive and reboot wow
>>334279539
>thing is LITERALLY called big black cock
>not cuck
>>334279669
>Is this a PR campaign
yes, more news attention means that more people will see the warcraft movie just to see what all the nerd fuss is about. pretty clever move on blizzard's part.
>>334279669
>announce WoW 2.0 in time for the movie
>current WoW becomes legacy servers
>"Hey we introduced legacy servers!"
Pretty clever.
>>334275953
Does this argument really hold water? A vanilla server with no one playing on it is the same as a legion server with no one playing on it and you know 3 months after launch (and that is being generous) there are going to be dead as fuck legion servers.
They literally lose nothing from having vanilla servers. It might stop some of the hemorrhaging player base. They still make money. They dont report player subs anymore so how the fuck would ANYONE truly know if it is stealing from the Legion launch or game on the whole?
>>334279908
>>334272843
YOU DOOOO CARE :)
Nost is not coming back.
The next pirate server you go to will get shut down as well.
Why even bother getting upset, you'd have to be genuinely stupid not to understand that this will always happen and you cannot change it no matter how loud you scream.
>>334280120
They dont, but you see Legion has tons of QoL, cross realm etc bullshit that makes a dead server work for people
Now go find 40 people to raid with on a dead server, only your server
>>334280380
Nost wasn't a pirate server, it used unique coding and was based of of content that is no longer available in current WoW
The only reason why Blizzard got away with it is because they're a massive corporation that can afford to throw around lawsuits
>>334280413
People who remember vanilla and actually played through it remember the problems and the difficulties of that version of the game. If Blizzard does make legacy servers, they should literally make it with a warning, that there will be no official support from blizz other than the server hardware, no ability to create tickets, and the game is the way that it was left right before the launch of BC. That would be a fair compromise. Blizz gets the money from people subbing to play on offical blizz servers without the fear of a shut down, but are left to their own devices. Deal with the problems, just as like people who play shooters that have essentially been abandoned by the original devs (and people still play original UT, Quake 3, and battlefield 2). You have to deal with all the original quirks of the game and the devs have already moved onto new projects. Either that or take volunteers like nost did to get things taken care of.
I think that would be a fair compromise to this whole debacle.
>>334280669
Why do you try so hard to make up excuses?
Are you actually this fucking dumb?
>Blizzard got away with it
Got away with protecting their IP, yeah good luck with that lawsuit you moron.
>>334278763
Only the strong survive
>>334280669
>Nost wasn't a pirate server, it used unique coding and was based of of content that is no longer available in current WoW
I'm 100% for legacy servers, but your entire post is pants on head retarded.
>>334280803
This guy has the right idea.
If a team of volunteers can run a server with no income generated from subs, there is literally no reason at all blizz can't also run a server, be lazy cunts and do fuck all with updating or running it, but still charge 15/month.
I would pay for it, and even though I wouldn't buy the expansion packs, I'm not going to be buying them at all anyways if I'm not playing the game in the first place.
>>334280803
>Either that or take volunteers like nost did to get things taken care of.
They would have to be unpaid of course, and pay the $15 every month like everyone else for the privilege of fixing the bugs.
>>334279794
Thisi s not normal
Nost had 10k people and they only took donations so unless they were taking chink gold selling money theres no way they could pay
The devs were so capable they were going to implement serer clusters and multi phasing zones all while working on the raids and TBC
Nost shuts down close to the TBC server release which happens to have for some reason insta 60 , blizzlike servers never do this
Then thers the ama in the subreddit blizzard controls and the constant spam of the same nostlrisu threads over and over,
The threads were not normal either since they contained the EXACT same words, of course people would use the same memes but the format and structure are 100% similar to the shill ones and the responses given by blizz shills are always identical, they usually try harder when hteres a shitstorm
Now this
This shit is too weird

>Blizz calls other comapanies

Will Blizzard gave and give us Legacy servers now?
>>334281632
This is true, there were 150k active players that did play the game. Just 13k daily and actually 15k at it's biggest recorded peaks
Meanwhile ILLIDAN had 4k peak, similar to Tich, another big retail server
>>334281632
No I heard they had 900k active players on at all times and 1200k registered accounts. Fifty times the most populated live server at any given time.
>>334281686
why? it lets you know how many people had interest in a vanilla server. we cant really speculate why those players werent active but it still gives you an indication that there IS demand for a vanilla server.

>>334282136
I'm just mad cause I see people outside of 4chan saying the same stuff "cry more nostalgia babies" and all I'm thinking is how the fuck can you support WoW in it's current state how stupid do you have to be to like that game. I just can't fathom how anyone can enjoy it.
Considering Nost never had under 3900k people online at peak hours and over 8 million registered accounts, Blizzard would be completely retarded to ignore their paying customers. Unless they just want their company to die that badly.

>>334282147
>o-one day i'll show you!

>>334279053
>Blizz shut down Nost meme
They didn't. Show me proof they did. Because the actual talk on the ACTUAL Nost forums is either:
1. They weren't paying the server bill, cancelled donation links, then demanded people paid the server bill (via donations) directly to the server provided; who in turn did not accept $1 or $5 or $10 but wanted $100's+ per donation minimum, as such, nobody paid. People went "oh just have one person set up an account and we donate to them, then they pay the bill in one go" and that didn't happen because "they'll just scam us".
OR
2. The apparent C&D letter, which there is 0 (ZERO) proof of existing (there is nothing against the law just photographing it and uploading it) was sent by a rival private server who wanted the players from Nost themselves.
So, until they ACTUALLY provide proof of a C&D, then stop fucking blaming Blizz for what amounts to "W-w-we totes for realzies got told to s-s-stop! E-ee-vil B-blbliz r-r-right?" Despite Blizzard not saying anything about it.
In fact, I'm copy and pasting this in order to keep posting it in these fucking threads until you cunts get it.
>>334282309
>get shit tons of negative press
Who cares.
Answer is nobody.
Nostfags are a bunch of whiny babies, they'll forget about it in a couple of weeks.
>>334275953
People are less likely to pay a monthly sub to play a version of the game that will never get new content.
The only reason shit like Nost gets so popular is it's free. Vanilla gets boring after awhile.
>>334282380
;^)
>>334279669
If it was a PR campaign I don't think they would be deleting threads about it on their forums the instant they are made. That is pretty much what they have been doing ever since they shut down Nostalrius.
>>334282273
>3900k
>3,900,000 on one server
>8 million registered accounts (which means nothing)
>die that badly
You're an idiot. The fact you think Blizz can die is fucking retarded beyond all definition. Let me guess, you think WoW is their only game and where their money comes from, right?
Of course you're retarded, you think 3.9M people can be on a server at one time.
>>334282309
>It's okay when Disney does it

nost babies won't get their server because they're going about it the wrong way. instead of crying and creating online petitions, they should voice their request in an adult way, using the general forums.
now I say "adult" to point out the current ranting and whining and finger pointing is not helping their cause.
starting your thread with: "We need legacy because retail sucks", is not the best way to get what you want.
>>334282553
Of course you do not let people talk about what you dont want
how do you think PR campaigns work?
>>334282413
That's true. They probably just couldn't make it work because there wasn't enough money coming in. I mean for fucks sake it was a pirate server, the people there are mostly unable or unwilling to pay for something they can steal. It's no wonder if they never made a cent no matter how much people professed their love for the server.
If they make it look like Blizzard told them to cease and desist that completely frees them of any and all responsibility and critique, as well as rallies all the cheap manchildren to harass a company into hopefully giving them legacy servers.
>>334282713
Did you even read the post I'm quoting? You kind of look like a retard

You need to be a paying customer to use those, and people who play on pirate servers do so for a reason you know.

did you even read what i wrote?
Everyone knows there were vanilla servers that were super popular, that vanilla is so good there are thousands of autists raging across the internet albeit its been relatively small (compare it to give diretide), about their server getting shut down and so on but know nothing specifically
Its normal for blizz to shut down servers so that cancels part of the negative feedback
seems pretty good PR in the long term for legacy servers
Just going to leave this here(from another thread, still relevant)
How to spot a shill 101, learn it everyone.
Also, the following are also indicators of shills:
>They use the term "IP" while defending Blizzard
>They use the term "C&D" while defending Blizzard
>They accuse you of being "mad" that nost is shut down even if you never played on it
>Tell you Vanilla is garbage even though you already have your own opinion that it isn't
>They tell you to "grow up" or "move on"
>They blame the lack of subscribers in WoD on "tokens"
>If you accuse them of getting paid, they respond only with a personal attack because you hit a nerve
>They compare Vanilla fans to fans other more casual games like CoD, Halo or Ass creed
>They make blanket statements about the "poor state" entire board while defending blizzard
They also use a couple of the same reaction images, learn to recognize them.

Because they would want to continue to spread the word about it and build hype, in the same the article in OP is doing.
Are you genuinely retarded?

>>334283158
>everything everyone has ever said is shilling
You're a true 100% certified idiot.
I don't see the problem in Blizzard enforcing their own IP by issuing a simple C&D, it's not like they even sued anyone yet.
People are just being mad about their Vanilla server being shut down so now they can't play for free anymore. If Vanilla was so good then why wouldn't there be official Vanilla server? Face it, it was garbage and you need to grow up and move on.

You delete what you dont want people to see, yet again you dont read, are you a blizz employee?
They viralize shit in places like this and probably specific forums and subreddits
The people who played nostalrius and knew it well are NOT their target audience and even if they hate blizzard you can bet your ass a lot would go to retail if they offered vanilla/tbc/whatever
What can't you understand

>>334283589
>You delete what you don't want people to see
>the people who played Nostalrius are not their target audience
So they delete threads about Vanilla servers on their official forums, where their target audience is, because they want to get them to play on Vanilla servers, but at the same they don't want people to see anything about it or hype it up?
Again, is your brain working? Is this bait?
Why do you want to play "vanilla"? Vanilla was designed by Tigole (Lead videogame idea guy, and evil jew) for people to raid while being on welfare. It was literally impossible to fully experience raiding unless you were on welfare.
Vanilla was horrible and shitty. If you only played about 3 hours a day, then vanilla would take 5 years to complete. It's a 12 hour a day, raiding commitment.
>>334282747
Fucking exactly. The thing is, they were probably making money from the entire thing and the money dried up. They sold Gold for % profit from chink farmers. As in, they got 20% of sales from the Gold the farmers sold.
So that probably didn't cover the costs of the server coupled with the drop in donations meant they couldn't do it. It was the perfect get out clause.
>>334282260

there's some truth in your shit posting, friend. a lot of us played back in middle school/high school. we had endless hours to dick around, gearing up and running raids.
anyone that played vanilla in 04-06 should be working at 9-5 by now, or taking care of a family. if they still have time to play the vanilla grind, they took a wrong turn somewhere in life and should reevaluate everything they've been doing for the past 10+ years.

I don't work for Blizzard you idiot. I don't even know what you're trying to say, your post is an absolute mess. Are you drunk?
By the way I played on Nostalrius and want legacy servers. I'm just pointing out to you that no, this isn't some super secret PR campaign by Blizzard to open up Vanilla servers and make hype about it to get their retail players to play it. If it was, they wouldn't be constantly deleting threads about it on a place where you need an active retail account to post, their official forums. That would be the best place to spread hype and controversy around it if you were trying to target current retail players.
Use your brain for fuck's sake.

>it lets you know how many people had interest in a vanilla server
No, it lets you know how many people were interested in a Private Vanilla server. Many of those could have been spite-fuelled, and would never consider retail WoW no matter what, in some insane crusade to get back at Blizzard. Some might have only been interested in it as a f2p solution to the WoW itch.
Moreover, the fact that so few of those accounts were interested enough to actually play the game long term is a better indicator of what the "real" userbase might be, and how much of a waste of resources Vanilla retail servers would be.
Why not simply make servers for the older versions of the game? Maybe unlocked depending on which expansions you have
>>334285002
I'm sorry friendo but you could be a weirdo just like him and I don't want to take that risk. Dealing with one creep is enough for now

Are you trying to sell the idea that pointless discussions lead to results? Maybe the Bongs get something through, but in the US the Senate is an utter joke. If you don't work for a company that's lobbied them then you don't matter. Money is speech in the US.
Petitions are just there to keep poor people thinking they have a voice. Sure, it's a voice. One that's ignored by those who control wealth and power because without money a voice is just noise.
>>334286462
They could only get 150k active players in the span of a year. Retail WoW had 10x that number in 2005
>people still getting cucked by Blizzard

I haven't bought anything from those jews in years, and with any luck I never will again.
>>334275657
Honestly I think they think that Nostalrius was taking too much attention from retail WoW.
Nost was getting so popular that it became known to mainstream and could be seen as serious alternative to retail WoW.
When Nost is down, the only place you can get your authentic WoW MMO fix is on retail.
>>334280669
>Unique coding
Even if they coded every single line themselves, they are still using copyrighted Blizzard assets
>>334288520
>When Nost is down, the only place you can get your authentic WoW MMO fix is on retail.
Or, you know, one of the other hundreds of private servers spanning all expansions from vanilla to retail. With cash shops.
>>334285134
The number of registered vs active accounts on retail WoW is probably similar
It's normal in any game to have many more registered accounts than active accounts
>>334288881
Nost was the most popular Blizzlike server though
but I see your point.

Blizzard is aware that some small part of their community wants legacy servers. Posting a civil thread on the forums won't do anything. They already know that some people are interested.
A petition is a way to quantify the community's interest.
I agree with you on the point that people need to stop saying "fuck you Blizzard you ruined the game now give us legacy"
Nost was a garbage server anyways.
Corecraft when? CC won't be a bad, buggy piece of shit like nost.
>>334290181
I played on Nost for 20 hours and except for a few animation issues here and there, I didn't experience any problems at all
what's so bad about it?
>>334272843
>Do illegal things.

You realise how easy those private server running fucks got off? Blizzard could sue their ass and would win with the Activision lawyer army.
Im not defending Blizzard because there are minority that really likes vanilla servers. But i don't defense fuckers either who think they can do what they want with what Blizzard owns legally.
>>334290704
Isn't it fairly normal that the first action you take is to ask the offender to take down their services? Only if they decline will you send an army of lawyers
In other words, could Blizzard sue for money on first contact?
>>334290704
You'd be the guy who would tell on everyone during the prohibition.
>>334290704
Grey area. They weren't making money off it.
I think that Mists of Pandaria was the pinnacle of WoW.
Just buy draenor and legion and stop being greedy jews.
>>334291446

MoP was the descent into cartoony and unoriginal worlds
Blizzard has always taken their inspiration from somewhere else but never has it felt so copy pasted as with Mists of Kung Fu Pandas
>inb4 Chen existed in Warcraft 3 and was already a chinese monk character
That didn't mean they had to make pandas fat and lazy and goofy, and Chen didn't force them to make the expansion cinematic pixar like in its cartoony exaggerations - which is a step away from Blizzard's otherwise serious themes
Of course if you're just talking about gameplay and raids then I can see where you're coming from

>>334293310
If they don't sell a service, they can't lose a sale on it
>>334293491
This
>>334293491
Retarded logic, you don't even have proof 100% of the people playing it would buy.
Kill yourself.
>>334294578
If they're dedicated enough to raid and spend thousands of hours on nost then they would be dedicated enough to pay for a proper server that has no stability issues and localized servers.
>>334294826
>See, these guys would buy it because they played it!
Explain piracy then?
>>334294964
Private servers isn't comparable to privacy of single player games. Just look at OSRS, when it launched a fuckton of private servers died almost over night.
>>334294578
It's still 100% fact that they aren't selling vanilla so they aren't losing a sale
Stay ass mad buddy
>>334294964
Let's be honest, people aren't playing Nost just because it's a free version of WoW. They play it for a Blizzlike vanilla experience. On top of that I bet the playerbase is mostly older people with disposable income that they would gladly spend on reliable localized servers and support
Besides a legacy server wouldn't (shouldn't) be 15$ because you'd only pay for servers and some low priority game master support. You wouldn't be paying for development teams. There would be no new raids or expansions. There wouldn't even be balance patches.
>>334295392
>Let's be honest, people aren't playing Nost just because it's a free version of WoW
>>334295458
>thinking retail and nost are comparable experiences in any way
If you liked modern WoW, why would you log into a super slow version of the game with less hand holding and convenience and less theme park content?
At this point these are two completely different experiences. The content barely even overlaps anymore.
>>334295458
>retail WoW and vanilla are exactly the same
Blizzdrone, fucking please
>>334295458
I'm sure some poor faggots are playing Nost but they are most likely a small minority
I mean there are private servers for expansions so timmies would likely jump on those instead of fucking vanilla
>Introducing in Legion
>''Right when you thought maybe we had too many things to look forward to with the burning legions invasion, we thought you might like to go back to a more simple time. Introducing WOW LEGACY, with a handful of servers locked to vanilla content and a level 60 cap!

That's true. We all know 12 million people still play WoW, and Blizzard definitely didn't stop reporting sub numbers after it dipped below 6 mil.
>>334295458
There's private servers for every expansion, yet not many are bigger than Nost.
>>334297987
>"HURR, WHY ARE DA MOST SHILLED PRIVATE SERVER GET DA MOST PEOPLES IN IT?"
How about other vanilla private servers, oh wait, no one can be assed to actually seek them out unless they're shilled to death.

You lose players that could be on the Legion server instead.
>>334281109

Well no fucking wonder that they got shut down then.
I'm on the fence about Legion. On one hand, there is a lot of neat things happening. On the other, I just hate what the world became after Cata.
If Blizz would make Legacy servers as part of the regular wow subscription, it would give me enough incentive to come back. It'll let me play what I really like to play, legitimately, and I'll also try the Legion content since, hell, I'm paying for it anyway. I don't see why Blizzard refuses to give private server players an alternative. Its ridiculous.
>>334298829
Why is it the most shilled? Could it be because people enjoyed it more than the others?
>>334272843
>Big Black Cock news
ya sure
>>334299926
If they did release legacy servers, I'd bet only a third to half of the current players would keep playing updated WoW.
The rest would havefun
All the while attracting old vanilla-mopa players and start making bank again. Just like jagex did with OSRS or EQ
>>334299926
I thought the mechanic and some baseline designs for the dungeons in Legion look good. That's about everything and not enough to bring me back to the game. Not with shit like this.
