Just fucking look at this faggot. He's gotta be a retard.
Blizz has yet to make a single game of the year
>>335022202
This is big. Like really big. 200K and 11,000 pages is quite a big deal.
I don't think Blizz will do anything though with Legion right around the corner. At this point mentioning anything about private servers would just steal thunder from their next expansion, and they most certainly can't have that.
>>335022845
>1/24 of 8 billion is 309041000

>>335023075
Or make it all inclusive.
I like my idea hear me out.
Once you play through legions end game and collect say 100 portal crystals from raids / champion missions you unlock a time portal in your champion hall.
THEN you get legacy servers.
>>335023031
Game of the year means nothing when you literally make 100+ million a month
>>335022898
Releasing a legacy server would take too many players away from the real game.
Although Runescape did the same, so i guess it could happen.
>>335022898
Hosting a legacy server is basically admitting that everything they've done to the game over the past so many years isn't as good as what the game was originally. This is particularly important because those who originally headed the studio have stepped down. It's obvious to anyone that Blizzard is shit compared to what it used to be, but for the current Blizzard leadership to actually publicly acknowledge this is impossible. This is the real reason why there will never be a legacy server.

>>335023312
>Hosting a legacy server is basically admitting that everything they've done to the game over the past so many years isn't as good as what the game was originally
Vanilla is pretty awful though, what made it good was it being new and everyone going into it fresh at the same time. I enjoyed my time back then, but I can't ever imagine going back and for the people that never experienced it in the first place I'm willing to bet the sheen would rub off very quickly when they have retail max level characters to go back to.
>>335023175

Then why are their games declining?
Why did they turn down icefraud?
Why did they make that ass bending license agreement for SC2's map editor?

Why did Diablo franchise bomb hard?
Please, do answer these, shill. I'm pretty sure you have more information about the statements in question than there is on the internet.
>>335023535
I never experienced vanilla before and played on Nost almost everyday for about six months straight. So much so that I unsubbed from retail; it was just that awful by comparison.

>>335026894
Yeah.
I personally would love wow even more if there was no AH.
>>335022202
I'm 100% sure they will find a way to fuck them up with their blizz shop. It would have been better to acknowledge Nos as a non profit fan based project.
It's also sad that people are more talking about this whole thing that the new expansion that nobody is hyped for
>Begging a company for them to let you eat their shit
>2016
>>335026894
That and quest givers. People were bitching about how they couldn't pick up their Goldshire and Razor Hill quests. Apparently a one time world event is a big deal breaker for some people, but kiting Stitches to Goldshire daily and level 60s killing quest hub NPCs was okay.
>>335022202
Do people really want to play old wow this much ? The game is garbage nowadays but it was flawed af back then as well. You should just move on.
>>335027116
This. I don't trust modern Blizz to properly run a legacy server. I'm almost positive they'll find a way to jew it up. Better left in the hands of fans who are more passionate about the game than a bunch of suits.

>>335027350
Nobody's really arguing that vanilla was flawed. People are arguing that the game was a lot more rewarding back then and thus fun to play, especially compared to modern retail WoW where a lot of content is just drag and drop Facebook-esque interfaces that reward based on offline progression.

How is that a problem? A server only needs 1k-2k players to be highly active
>>335022202
You're delusional if you think a few petitions are going to make blizzard change their mind about private servers or intimidate them in any way.
>>335028347
Blizzard would have to create at least 1 per region
>>335028560
That would be a good chance to merge one of the many empty ghost servers and throw classic on them
What a waste of paper
Also, why should Blizzard even check into this? WoW is hanging around 5 million subs. People who played WoW 10 years ago are mostly normies with a job and perhaps even kids nowadays. Fuck legacy servers.
>>335028847
>Why should they care?
>Wow is at less than 1/2 the subs of their peek.
>Completely irrelevant statement.
>Fuck legacy servers.
>>335028847
I'm sure Blizzard stopped reporting subscriber numbers after they lost 40% of their userbase in a single year because the game is doing so well.
>>335022202
11000 pages of what? nostalrius source code?
>>335029009
>Irrelevant
How? Most of these players quit playing WoW ages ago, you can clearly notice this if you actually play the game. So why would Blizzard start legacy servers ? For the 5% of old fags still desperately clinging to vanilla wow?
>>335028847
Blizz should care because the fact that a game that used to be at 12 million subscribers that is at an all time low of 5 million combined with the fact that Blizz doesn't want to openly disclose subscriber numbers anymore is troubling. While WoW can and will remain profitable for a long time to come, it's quite obvious the game is way past its prime and creatively bankrupt. These are people actively telling Blizzard they will pay money hand over fist if they give them something they are more than capable of providing. Business-wise, it's an easy choice, but in Blizz's case, it's a matter of overcoming their ego.
>>335022202
Worst spokesperson you could want. Who would listen to a gamergater? Not Blizzard, that's who.
>>335022202
>These falseflagging OPs
>>335022898
Blizzard are idiots. They missed out on huge marked opportunities before and their games suck.
>>335022872
That's not fucking true. I've been on various private servers since vanilla days. With the exception of a few big ones, on average you were lucky if you had 300 users. One of the ones I was on in Lich King days had 100 people.
>>335022872
False. There are hundreds of private servers out there but not very many of them are blizzlike. A lot of heavily modded and provide instant-level cap characters or use P2W cash shops. There's about a dozen or so private servers that "try" to be blizzlike but still offer P2W stuff to keep the server afloat. Of these, the population fluctuates over the day between a few hundred to a few thousand at the very most.
Nost was insanely popular because it was one of the most blizzlike servers out there that didn't have a P2W shop nor any methods to skip content and go directly to endgame. Everyone was on a level playing field and the server was well scripted. This lead to a semi-authentic vanilla experience that spread by word of mouth among the community. After going live, for the first month or two the population was about 4K to 6K. Around the third and fourth month it reached 8K to 10K. After that it peaked around 12K - 15K, so much that they had to open a second server and cap the active players at 2K just to keep the game blizzlike. No other private server experienced this spike in population or active players, despite all being free to play.
>>335029845
>instant-level cap characters or use P2W cash shops
So basically exactly like blizzard servers?
>>335022202
I still don't understand the appeal of classic. I played nostalrius with some friends and we end up hating it. Not that draenor is any better tho. Hope you get your server.
>>335030189
People liked it because it was an actual MMO and you had to be social unlike current WoW
>>335022845
... so this is the power of the WOW community.
From elitists, devolved to faggots who can't even use the calculator on their phone/computer. WOW truly is the greatest retard filter in gaming.
>>335030189
Vanilla's definitely not for everyone. Not everyone enjoys the tedious leveling. That said, the game was a lot more difficult and challenging that relied on social interactions to get certain things accomplished. Whether by design or glitches, it has a certain charm that makes it appealing. As someone who unsubbed from retail and played on Nost, nearly everything felt more rewarding when I completed it and it's better when there's a large population actively out in the world playing to help you with it.
>>335029240
They quit because the game became something they didn't like, and you can't play older versions of the game
>>335030189
Being forced to talk to people to do things makes the entire world feel alive, plus jobs actually offer good rewards for maxing

You clearly pulled that "fact" out of your ass.
You're projecting your problems onto other people.
Your anecdotal evidence has no impact on Blizzard's decisions. Definitely a lot less than the 200,000 people who signed the petition.
>Most of these players quit playing WoW ages ago, you can clearly notice this if you actually play the game. So why would Blizzard start legacy servers ?
>Most players quit playing WoW ages ago
>you can clearly notice this if you actually play the game
Or look at the subscriber figures. You can see the peaks in the subscriber numbers, specifically during BC and Wrath.
>Most players quit playing WoW ages ago
>why would Blizzard start legacy servers
That would only pull more people in. I don't see the link between quitting a long time ago and not wanting to play the game again the way it was. The opposite would be true. If you look once again at actual facts instead of pulling things out of your ass, you could see that a lot of the people quit playing the game in the last 3 expansions, not during it's peak.
What you stated was entirely irrelevant because your in-game experience and interpretation there-of is wrong and anecdotal at best.
>>335022506
fbpb, ect.
I would play legacy vanilla is it was instant boost 60 so i could skip the retarded leveling process

>real game
The "real game" is paying $15 a month to sit in your garrison and clear your badge/raid/point quota in a day.
They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

>>335035096
The problem with your theory is it implies getting a piece of gear or clearing a raid is the only viable source of dopamine spike. In reality, things as simple as competing in world PvP or accomplishing tasks with friends will provide this as well.
The fact of the matter is the Warlords model of "one huge spike of dopamine, and then a very long span of nothing" is far worse than "an extended trail of dopamine, with sporadic pits and spikes."
its not going to happen
i would say get over it, but just like legacy servers, that wont happen either :^)
>>335022202
>printed medium
>literally the current year
Do they think they make a point about it being 11k pages or something? Let me guess they used a big font and extra spacing too. Probably shaved a few cm off the top, bottom and sides. We all know how this game works and you aren't fooling anyone.
WoW has been dead for years and MMOs are memes. Get over it.
>>335022202
>Funny how some people think the only reason Nost's pop was so high was because it was free. Shows how little some know.
It's going to be fucking hilarious when Blizzard caves and launches a classic server, then some shitty emulated server is going to pop up and steal the entire population because fucking nobody wants to pay for an MMO in 2016.
>>335035479
This is why blizzard wont do it
>you can pay $15 a month for our version
>or you can play an ok scripted version for free
which one will people choose hmmmm
>>335035414
Hey Blizzshill, what's your end goal?
I mean it's no secret Blizzard is hemorrhaging subscribers very rapidly and World of Warcraft might just die if Legion fails to retain players. Here you have a group of people who like the game and want it to succeed making a suggestion, and Blizzard immediately blows them off and censors them. Even as they continue to lose players and various public figures denounce Blizzard's decision-making and general protocol.
Why are we so reluctant to try and appease this supposed mass of 300k players proposing an idea that has worked before in another MMO? It's not like World of Warcraft doesn't rip ideas from other MMOs all the time.
>>335035632
why dont you just shut down the free one and charge $15 for the new and old version

Am I the only one that doesn't want classic servers, but for selfish reasons?
Shit man I'm almost 30 and playing for 16 hours a day in vanilla is all well and good when you're a freshman in college but not anymore.
At least currently I can justify not playing to myself because the game is hot garbage.

>>335035715
Probably not worth the time and money.
A classic server is a losing proposition because they can't sell you additional content. People will clear the content and quit.
I mean, it's Blizzard. They've no qualms raping their IPs and dumbing them down for the masses to make a quick buck. Why would they ever pass up an opportunity to make more?
>>335036001
with a new movie and a new expansion coming out i'm sure the subs will shoot back up to the beginning of WoD levelsthen fall right back down when people realize its the same old shit
>>335036001
they have 5 mill subs at least
they sold 3.3 million wod sales first 24 hours which is what im basing that 200m number off of

>>335036147
>they have 5 mill subs at least
>>335036147
They had 5 million subs 6 months ago, when they did their most recent investor call. At that time, they were trending downards extremely steeply. Even assuming that the sub loss levelled out, it's extremely unlikely they've got more than 4 million at the moment. The most generous estimate you could make without being stupid would be around 3.8m.
That's 3.8m spread over 220 servers across 4 different regions.
>>335036169
I was more in reference to the hundreds of people who were banned from the forums due to making posts about private servers and mentioning legacy servers in the same post.

>>335041849
Do you even play the game? The leaders say it's based on who joined first, or whoever really needs it, or something like that. Then they take the first epic, and drop group. That's ninjaing.
Also, every guild raid uses master loot. If the raid leader decided to take a bunch of epics and run off, that's still ninjaing.
I don't know why you're defending blizzard so hard that you'll redefine the world ninja.

no, its not ninjaing because its master looter

I'm sure Blizzard will get right on working on legacy servers when they receive the signatures
>>335042276
MoP was genuinely good.
>>335042098
you joined a master loot group and had gear taken. it's not ninja looting if you agreed to the loot rules, you stupid fuck. the reason a GM didn't do shit to help you is because you willingly accepted that the leader has control over how loot is handed out.
if you're still dumb enough to join master loot runs, you deserve to get nothing.
>>335034729
And the legacy server would have exhausted content within a month unless they do patch rereleases to gate the content.
>>335042348
MoP was the best expansion, followed by WotLK. WoD is literally the worst, Vanilla is second worst, TBC third and Cata fourth.
>>335042361
>>335042251
>>335042181
Jesus the blizzdrones are in full force. It's definitely ninjaing. Blizzard called it ninjaing, and they won't punish.
>>335042445
>vanilla before tbc
why, tbc was superior everyway.
>>335042467

>>335042894
Strange how the blizz servers are so toxic yet on private servers this is never an issue and everyone is looking out for one another. It's almost as if policing a game actually works.
>>335041050
Neo Blizzard isn't even banning bots now. If a bot gets caught they get a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again because they're more likely to come back and keep paying.
I wish I was making that up.
>>335043232
Master looter isnt considering ninjaing ever since they introduced personal loot
get over it faggot

These kinds of avatars are a good sign of people you don't want to be around.
>>335043232
This happened in the "good old days" too, you know. The difference between live and private servers is population and that the people on private servers don't feel the need to be a dick. If Blizz actually did legacy servers, it would be very different from people's mentality in private servers.
>>335043336
Get over what? The lack of administration on the servers? Let's see how that works out for retail. Enjoy your toxic, sub 1-million player, community.
>>335043232
the community policed each other back in vanilla, but I guess you wouldn't know that.
>>335043279
I agree the 6 month ban is too short, but a lot of multiplayer games have the same policy of not perma banning first time offenders. even GTA:O has a 3 strike system, which does more harm than good to the community(cheat hard as fuck, buy expensive as fuck cars and mod them, put them in your garage, then wait for ban. after ban expires, return to game, sell all cars and swim in the millions you got to keep because rockstar are shitheads that don't know how to properly strip a banned account of their illegal gains)
>>335043532
that you lost a piece of gear in a loot mode that isnt ninjaing
>>335043614
>trying to redefine ninjaing
Damn, the blizzdrones are in full force trying to defend their Facebook game.
>>335043470
not him, but i have 2 friends who botted constantly, one finally got banned but only because he opened a ticket telling them to ban him so he could stop playing this shit game.
my other friend stopped playing recently too but even he never got banned.
hell, even i used a shitty /follow bot back when you could /follow players in BG's for easy AFK-Honor gains.
a guildmate i used to run with got temp banned for like 2 days for botting.
blizzard is a company who is slowly dying. you think they would forcibly remove what little income they have left? AHAHA
>>335043747
Dont play in a master looter group if you dont trust the leader
You can do personal loot for that
>>335043835
So you don't have a citable source of information and it's literally "lol my friends heard about it btw blizz is dead".

go play on your private server
unsub from wow and donate the next 15 to your private server, im sure theyll spawn the item in for you
>>335023662
>>I didn't like these new games that weren't exactly like the other games I used to play fifteen years ago so they bombed hard despite millions of sales.
The people who make these threads need to grow up get out of the past and move on like ever person ever. Take off the god damn nostalgia goggles.
>>335044478
Already unsubbed in late 2015. I don't play on a pay 2 win private server. Which is ironic considering wow has a cash shop. Oh how times have changed.
>>335022202
>people donated to this dude
now I know why he's doing it
>>335035863
They could get 100 million verified legitimate signatures, Blizzard will still go where the money is. You'd have to prove they'd gain and not lose money, and a petition does nothing for that.
>>335029075
yeah after wod came out they lost near 5 million subs (10 million at the start of wod down to 5 million) barely a year after wod release they stated they will no longer release subscriber information.
many estimate wow is currently hovering around 3 - 4 million subscriber mark since that statement.
Can't wait for legacy servers, not even for the game just the chance to shitpost the RS3/RS07 sub graph everywhere.
>>335045474
>mfw anti fans will use the 3-4 million number even if legion pulls it back up to 10 million subs like wod did
>>335022202
Nostcucks are sad, pathetic.
>BLIZZARD SHOULD LET US BREAK THE LAW TO PLAY THEIR GAME FOR FREE
>WOW BLIZZARD WON'T LET US PLAY FOR FREE AND BREAK THE LAW, WHAT THE FUCK
>>335045758
What did you expect from WoW addicts? People say and do crazy things after getting their fix taken away.
>>335045758
>break the law
kek
>>335028560
Blizzard really doesn't have to do shit if they don't want to, they can just greenlight the Nost team to continue doing their server and let them handle the hosting.
>wanting to give blizzard more money
>>335045642
i don't doubt legion won't pull back millions of players. i don't believe it will hit 10 million, but i'm sure it will hit 7 - 8 million subs back.
but the question is will legion retain those players? mop at the end had 7 million subs. 3 million came back for wod launch which boosted wow to 10 million. 3 months into wod it fell down to 7 million. 7 months later? 5 million.
if legion can bring back 3 million subs like wod did, hover wow in the 7 million zone, and maintain that number for 6 months with a slight decline after a year, legion will be a huge success blizzard needs it to be.
>>335046057
and you will never know if it drops because blizzard stopped giving numbers
so people will keep spouting that 3 million made up number until wow is dead for real
>>335045642
>the hype for wod was fucking massive.
>most players have been sceptical about legion from the moment it was announced.
there won't be another spike
>>335045956
>copyright law does not apply to us Nostcucks, we're special snowflakes
I don't get it. How are people still believing Blizzard will do anything noteworthy when they butchered Warcraft and Diablo? Fucking DIABLO. How do you fuck that up?
>>335046450
>he hasn't played reaper
your loss
>>335045316
>100 million verified signatures.
> Of people saying "yes, we will pay for legacy servers."
I know you're exaggerating, but Blizzard will go where the money is. If there's enough of a demand for it, then yes, Blizzard would consider legacy servers if it would recover the 6 million sub-loss they somehow managed with WoD.
If they were intelligent, but they're not. They're insane.
>>335046508
I did, but fixing a bit of gameplay doesn't fix all the other faults with the game. It's sad that people still mention Reaper of Souls as some sort of redeeming point for Diablo 3 when it just made the game bearable to play.
>>335046346
it's not illegal to play on a private server
>>335046257
i'm sure they will release numbers if they subs increase above the 5 million mark.
its good marketing to claim a sub increase.
once they stop stating subs again is when we know its on the decline.
>>335022845
>playing wow
>Calling other people autistic
Let it go.
WoW is one of your fond memories. They can't take that from you. Make new memories with new games. You are locked in a timewarp or something.
Yes, WoW was fun. Move on.
>>335046691
it was a mediocre game when it first shipped. devs knew this, so they fixed it. that doesn't mean I forgive them for it, but I'm not going to pretend like reaper isn't a fun game to play.
my only beef with it is how fast players lose interest in it. blizzard needs to fix whatever reason that causes players to quit after 3-4 weeks into the season.
>>335046450
The day Blizzard officially died.
>>335046705
>what is copyright law
>>335046893
that nigga jay savage as fuck
too bad his vision for diablo was far too hardcore for your average player.
>>335047007
we're not copying anything when we're playing on a private server
>>335046862
>blizzard needs to fix whatever reason that causes players to quit after 3-4 weeks into the season.
That means making a whole new game, because the game doesn't have any fucking soul to it. The atmosphere is nonexistant. The story is so fucking hamfisted that WoW and the Mass Effect 3 ending are up for a Pulitzer prize in comparison. The artwork and engine of the game is fucking terrible as well and reeks of Warcraft.
You can't just throw in a couple of le epic items and bosses just to call it a day, because in the end a turd is a turd even with sprinkles on it.
>>335047240
you created the art and all assets and client you use to play?
>>335047260
This really.
The way the game was advertised was "oh look at all the clicking you'll be doing. Look at all that hard-core demon clicking action."
I recall someone saying "that's like advertising a book's major feature being that you get to turn the pages, and there's a lot of them."
>>335047260
The fact that the game got greenlighted only further proves that Blizzard is a dead company. They would axe any project that didn't live up to standards, and now they are just churning out loads of shit for the masses with no care in the world.
>>335022202
Silly nos babies
Sorry your private server got shut down
Now you gotta hop onto the newer far superior WoD expack
I'm in it for the nos Tears,they the saltest
>Blizzard puts time and effort into making legacy servers
>(even) Less time and effort gets put into actual new content as a result
>Majority of players wont bother with vanilla servers past 1-2months since they already have characters on real servers they need to lvl/raid/pvp/progress with.
>Implying a fraction of nost players are willing to actually spend money to play the game
>Servers are dead within months being only populated by a handful of RP fags and circle jerking elitist
>Whole ordeal becomes a precedent of why Blizzard shouldn't listen to their fans unless they're wearing a red shit and have aspergers
If you need a food analogy just let me know
signing an online petition is not the same as putting actual money up. Don't get me wrong blizzard is somewhat foolish for not making easy money and releasing their own vanilla server, but they haven't done it to date, and I highly doubt they're going to at this point so just get over it.
>>335049390
I could use one, actually
>>335023662
>Why did SC franchise bomb hard?
Because casuals like you are too fucking dumb to play it and rather play WoW or LoL.
Seriously, SC2 is amazing right now. If on nothing else, they did an AMAZING job on it. Yet the game is pretty much dead. If you ask people why it's pretty much just "B-b-but the game is dead so I don't want to play it" even though it still has a very active ladder and pro gaming scene.
>>335047321
no but I bought the game moron

>>335049390
All the good players left during WotLK and I'm pretty sure those guys are jumping from MMO to MMO hoping to find the game they would like and spent time on, just like they did with Vanilla and BC.
Why do you think all the games like GW2, SWOTOR, Wildstar (etc...) get a huge population at first and then fail after 2 months?
I'd be pretty surprise if legacy servers (up to WotLK) doesn't bring Blizzard at least 15k subscription per server. Plus, most of us aren't 15 yo anymore so it's not like paying 15€ a month is a deal breaker.
You know what? I just hope Blizz open a Legacy server just to see how it fail.
I fucking bet I will never EVER be close to the old days of WoW in term of players and playerbase will drop in a year and it will be a dead server, so finally nostalgiafaggots can shut the fuck up

Why are some of you autists so vehemently against legacy servers? No one's forcing you to play on them.

>blizzard takes forever on content

Honestly most people would pay double the normal subscription fee to play on a legacy server
>>335045758
If a law says you cannot play a 10 year old game that is no longer sold or supported by the original developer, is it fair?
>>335050427
APM is a good game mechanic!
I never quite understood why the "free" thing is always such a big deal when condemning a private server.
I think $15 a month is not really a barrier for nostalgia crazed idiots. If anything it will keep 3rd world scum and children out. I could have paid Nost to keep shitskins and Sodadiepie fans out of the server I certainly would have.
