Blizzard: Glad you could make it, Nostalrius.
Nostalrius: Watch your tone with me, Blizzard. You may have legal copyright power above me, but I'm still your superior as a popular legacy server.
Blizzard: As if I could forget. Listen, Nostalrius, there's something about the server you should know.
Blizzard: Oh no. It's too late. The Chinese are win-trading and the GM team are behind a gold scam. They may look fine now, but it's only a matter of time before they turn a profit.
Nostalrius: What?
Blizzard: This entire server must be purged.
Nostalrius: How can you even consider that? There's got to be some other way!
Blizzard: Damn it, Nostalrius. As your future legacy server provider, I order you to purge this server!
Nostalrius: You are not my legacy server provider yet, Blizzard. Nor would I obey that command even if you were!
Blizzard: Then I must consider this an act of copyright infringement.
Nostalrius: Copyright infringement? Have you lost your mind, Blizzard?
Blizzard: Have I? Nostalrius WoW server, by my right of intellectual property and sovereignty of the United States copyright laws, I hereby relieve you from your command and suspend your Game Masters from service.
Players: Blizzard, you can't just--
Blizzard: It's done! Those of you who have the will to play the Legion expansion, follow me. The rest of you... get out of my sight.
Nostalrius: You've just crossed a terrible threshold, Blizzard.
Blizzard: Players?
Players: I'm sorry, Blizzard. I can't watch you do this

AKSUALLY Legion features are making it look like it might stay the top expansion of all time.
Blizzard will never, ever put out legacy servers. Doing so would imply that the direction they took for the game was wrong, and they will never admit any wrongdoing on their part.

Good line. Anyone playing shit like Nostalrius or any other Private Server is too casual to do real hardcore Mythic raiding. WoW had for the most of it boring tank n spank till Cataclysm and have only been getting better at putting out crazier raid content since.
WoD might have not been great at releasing content, but Archimonde on Mythic difficulty has more mechanical depth than any boss fight that's often considered the greatest (The End, Vergil 3, etc.)

I think no oneI hopeputs in doubt that later WoW has much better raid experience.
And by the way WoW sucks, Vanilla, TBC, whatever.
No, all MMOs suck.
>>334310719
They think we want Legion, but we don't.
Get over it, it's a video game

>>334314034
>life is more important than videogames
>>334313437
Yeah anyone who claims the gameplay of Vanilla was better are drooling retards.
The only valid criticism against modern WoW is that current mechanics make the world a barren place and little interaction with actual other people. This is something they need to fix in Legion.
Aside from that it's superior to Vanilla in every single way.
You want to play hardcore you can play hardcore.
I'd still like to go through some of the older quest lines though. Like where you save Varian, etc..
They should make a Vanilla server and just park it, it should turn a profit at the very least. I'm sure most players will try it and few will stick around.

Nostalrius players are just a bunch of noobs that can't keep up with the meta, there is a reason of why the like vanilla wow so much, they would get stomped if they tried one of the new raids bosses, just place a max level death knight against a level 60 top Nostalrius player on a PVP, the winner would be obvious
>>334314861
You wanna elaborate on that?
>>334314445
>The only valid criticism against modern WoW is that current mechanics make the world a barren place and little interaction with actual other people. This is something they need to fix in Legion.
I won't defend it being the ONLY criticism, but I will say this is a huge fucking problem. Sit in a garrisoninstance or a city, wait for a queue to pop, teleport to another instance, and do that content. Why fucking build the questing zones and the world and shit if the most profitable way to play is to sit in a non-combat zone waiting for queues to pop and instantly send you to another instance? Why not just make the whole world a game lobby and save some programming time?
Reminder that this should have been the final boss of MoP.
Is there a place to play WoW that isn't paying sub?
I avoided this game like a plague since launch but Im bored and might give it a try
>>334315446
they should have made Garrosh less objectively evil, put out two faction locked siege raids and based the continuity on which one was completed more
>>334315127
Class homogenization and small raids
Vanilla was an uncut gem but every expansion cut it wrong and now there's nothing left of what made it great
>>334313437
>real hardcore Mythic raiding
You fucking know, and don't you fucking lie, it amounts to carrying that group of three or four fuckwads through the content because they mess up the same fucking mechanic every time.
THANKS XHUL AND GOREFIEND FOR POINTING OUT THE SHITTERS. WHAT'S THAT? SOCRETHAR IS A BREEZE BECAUSE I CAN ACTUALLY MANAGE MY SIMPLE ROTATION AS THE CONSTRUCT AND WE NEVER WIPE? IMAGINE THAT
I must've missed something. How exactly did Blizzard get Nost taken down? I thought that with the server being in France that Blizz couldn't touch it.

thanks senpai
>>334319938
you're a cuckold like all other vanillafags
>>334319664
Some people liked it. It's the same as the LFG complaints. Blizzard saw an issue with the experience players were having, fixed it, but some people preferred it the way it was. Decursing nonstop gave people an identity, good gear, and social standing without having to think during raids. It was just participating socially.
>>334319938
You were a kid and Vanilla WoW was this awesome huge world.
I know because I felt like the game was amazing 10 years ago. I never played in such a continuous huge world.
I can't handle Vanilla now though, I could play it small bites, but I prefer modern WoW.
WoD sucked outside raiding/leveling though.. But I have a bunch of content to catch up on so I don't mind.
I do wish they would remaster the Vanilla content.
>>334320253
Still have more fun playing broken feenix than wod
>>334320253
they did remaster Vanilla content and make it objectively better, it's called Cataclysm
>>334319843
Any good private you would recommend?
I aint paying for this shit :^)
Arthas: Glad you could make it, Uther n' shit.
Uther: Watch yo' tone wit me, boy. Yo ass may be tha pimp yo, but I be still yo' superior as a paladin. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch fo' realz.
Arthas: As if I could forget. Listen, Uther, there be a suttin' bout tha plague you should know. Oh no. It aint nuthin but too late. These playas have all been infected. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! This type'a shiznit happens all tha time. They may look fine now yo, but itz a matta of time before they turn tha fuck into tha undead.
Uther: What, biatch?
Arthas: This entire hood must be purged.
Uther: How tha fuck can you even consider that, biatch? Therez gots ta be some other way
Arthas: Damn it, Uther n' shiznit fo' realz. As yo' future mackdaddy, I order you ta purge dis hood.
Uther: Yo ass aint mah mackdaddy yet, boy. Nor would I obey dat command if you was biaaatch!
Arthas: Then I must consider dis a act of treason. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch.
Uther: Treason, biatch? Has you done lost yo' mind, Arthas, biatch?
Arthas: Have I, biatch? Lord Uther, by mah right of succession n' sovereignty of mah crown, I hereby relieve you from yo' command n' suspend yo' paladins from service.
Jaina: Arthas, you can't just.. fo' realz.
Arthas: It aint nuthin but done biaaatch! Those of y'all whoz ass have tha will ta save dis land, gangbang mah dirty ass. Da rest of you, biatch... git outta mah sight.
Uther: You've just crossed a shitty threshold, Arthas fo' realz.
Arthas: Jaina, biatch?
Jaina: I be sorry, Arthas. I can't peep you do all dis bullshit..

They made it look nicer and the quests flow better. But the quests take place in a Cataclysm timeline. I'd like remastered zones/quests in the old timeline as well.

>>334321469
Look at the edge on this guy
>>334321469
they already do, that shitty private server has it's own sub-ledit and all they do now is make posts about how much they hate Blizzard and how they want to protest them by buying BlizzCon tickets and wearing Nost shirts to it
>>334321151
Pattern recognition has nothing to do with time travel, Metzen.
>>334318710
Nvm I don't mean optional, I mean like being able to take multiple paths since it's non-linear in progression. So not just one, but a bunch of them.
>>334318771
Mostly heals since that's something that the vast majority of classes have together. Tanks might have a couple silence and stun moves, but they aren't dedicated moves to doing that and outside leveling and PvP are dangerous to use in PvE outside of very particular situations (for Tanky classes at least.) Seriously, actually play the fucking game before saying stupid shit like this or look up videos of how PvE really goes or something.

>>334323441

It wouldn't though, it just means some people prefer the way the game is now and some prefer it the way it was.
>I both like playing on PvP servers and being able to RP
>tfw I pretty much have to choose between one or the other because RPvP servers never actually have RP on them
Why is this allowed?
Why must I choose between ganking lowbies and role playing?
Christ, there's just a point where you have to let this shit go. Blizzard are never going to change their minds about this.
So move on to the other private servers that actually exist, or just give up on WoW. Because this shit is just getting pathetic now.
>>334323638
Yeah, though I noticed the only case where it's the other way around is in /wsg/. They take week old webms from FJ Webm threads post the most stale, unfunny, old memes. They still post fucking john cena memes for fucks sake
Well it reached 100k signatures
https://www.change.org/p/mike-morhaime-legacy-server-among-world-of-warcraft-community?recruiter=522873458
>>334324994
100k is a lot, but it's kind of overshadowed with the millions of players WoW has had over time. I mean shit even Dota 2 has more players.
It's an impressive feat, but I doubt it's going to open Blizzards eyes to anything.
>>334325646
you do realize if they had legacy servers, there would be more than 100k people that would partake on them...
most people and normies don't bother themselves with online petiton crap
I didn't sign that but I'd play on legacy servers.
>>334325646
Didn't that petition only start a few days ago? and it's still increasing at a steady pace.
How many signatures do you think are required for Blizzard to give a shit? 200k, 500k, 1 million? More?
100k is a very good number, and it's only going to increase.
>>334312409
It's an expansion about Illidan being brought back like some undead hooker for an encore for more subs.
I mean being so out of stories that you had to shoe horn in some time travel nonsense is dumb enough...
But this?
It's a dumb expansion. Blatant cash grab.
I will never buy a Blizzard game again, or touch anything made by Blizzard.
Even if they do release vanilla servers they've lost my trust and my wallet. Theyl'l probably try to massively monetize it anyway.
>>334325858
>>334325901
I understand the popularity of vanilla WoW and the desire for legacy servers and this is but a mere fraction of people who want it, but Blizzard haven't changed their stance on this since WoWscape was shut down. They aren't going to do it now.
I mean you can't mod Diablo 3 or host custom servers for Overwatch, that alone kind of states Blizzards whole stance on this thing.
>>334325858I'd sign it but I don't want to give my name and email out
>>334313437
The truth is wow was never about the 'hardcore' dungeons and raids. That's the mistake Wildstar made.
WoW was a game that originally fostered community and player interaction. Now it fosters solitude and fapping with my left hand while running a dungeon with my right hand.
>>334325951
You left out the part where now Illidan was brought back because he actually went full demon, and now that he's back, a naaru filled him with light and he's become a super saian demon paladin demon hunter that's going to kill the old god's masters.
Oh yeah and sargearas is a dindu
>>334326090
Don't be a pussy.
>>334326090
You're literally 1 in 100,000, who cares who you are?
>>334326263
Sargearas isn't a dindu, he's basically just a rehash of Arthas.
I'm hoping that light bullshit is just something to trick illidan because it sounds retarded as shit, but with the light infused Dreadlord I guess it's inevitable. Fucking amber eyes.
>>334326090just lie its not like they're doing a background check
also change.org is a pathetic site that charges you money if you want your comments to be seen to the world
and there are some trolls posting on that petition. having payed the large sum of money they post things like "waa i wanted nostalrius because it was free and im poor"
even the chinks are signing this
>>334326073
Well as sales number decrease and more and more people show up asking for Legacy servers, their stance may change.
>>334322379
Wait did they really?
>>334312409
You think Legion will bring in 8 million subs?
>>334326831
Sales numbers for WoD were the highest they've ever been, as were the launch sub numbers. The subs dropping isn't going to make a difference if the expansions keep selling like hotcakes.
>>334326263
It's dumb man, I mean here's a full list:
1) WoW; LFG tool
2) WoW: Class homogenization. "Bring the player not the class"... You dumb fuck this is a fantasy MMO-RPG. No one was complaining about this. You sold out what made the classes flavourful.
3) SC2: Split into 3 games
4) Diablo 3: Rmah, and built around it from the ground up
5) WoW: "Fuck the leveling experience, just get to the
max level and buy the newest expo, Here, il'l even sell you max level characters".
6) Nost being taken down
7) MMO-RPG, you took out the MMO part and made everything basically singleplayer.. then you took out the RPG part and made leveling (arguably the most important part of any RPG) obsolete.
8) Not content that no one was out in the world and afking in cities, you made garrisons so they can afk there.
9) You must have fired the guy comming up with the stories. Since Wotlk everything has felt very shoe horned in. I mean going back in time to find more subs? This is really bottom of the barrel stuff. It shows a basic misunderstanding of why WoW worked and why it doesn't now. You think WoW:BC worked because we liked the BC storyline? So you went back there hoping to lure subs?
10) WoW: you removed all need for CC, and made dungeons a 'pull and aoe them all' type ordeal. What's worse, you didn't make it competitive by adding extra rewards for aoeing the entire instances down in one pull while being appropriate leveled.
11) Icefrog made dota, he then got a job from a company that actually knows what they're doing to make the sequel... and you try to sue to shut it down? What so you can release your own perverted dota where you have to buy every hero and pay a subscription to use matchfinder? I'm glad you lost that one, I hope you kick yourself when you see how popular that game got.
12) You lost all sense of community and player interaction fostering. You started trying to make the 'questing experience' great... If we wanted that we'd play skyrim.
>>334327994
>Since Wotlk everything has felt very shoe horned in
>There must always be a lich king
To this day I still think that is one of the most retarded lines I've heard. It makes no sense and does absolutely nothing.
Why the fuck are feral undead more dangerous than organized undead? That's so goddamn stupid. Why did you even think to write that? Couldn't Bolivar just have perished from torture? Maybe forcing Tyrion to put him out of his misery?
>Leave, and never come back!
It's just stupid and needless, useless, nonsensical edge.
