Blizzard just posted this. Both the gear and the character models are clearly from Vanilla WoW. Guys this is it. It's really going to happen. We are finally going to have legacy servers. It's 99% certain. Holy fuck Nostalrius literally saved gaming

Ho shit nigga you might be right.
>>
>>336010846

Why else would they do this? It's obviously a hint.
>>
Sometimes I get the feeling that this was their plan all along. I'm not sure if Mark Kern was part of the big plan, but I think that the Nost team was waiting like "C'mon, I dare you to come shut us down. We have the greatest community, fans, and enthusiasts that will spread the word and fight back so we can all truely get what we really need/wanted."


I too would also like to thank the Nost. team and everyone else that took part.

Normally, in a situation like this I would have just said "eh, whatever" and just went to go play another game. This time, however, I felt like "Hell naw, time to put my foot down, I'm not going to accept this crap!" I had no idea this would get as far as it did, but we kept pushing.

This isn't over yet, but I have my wallet open ready to play some Legacy server.
>>
wow just checked and it's real:

https://twitter.com/Blizzard_Ent/status/726124670353694721
>>
It's a very good sign. They're probably looking to hire Nost and/or acquire the Nost source code, things they've no reason to care about unless they wanted to finally run legacy servers. Having Nost endorsement by Blizzard is the best thing for everyone, and although it'll most likely mean we'll have to pay a sub to play on it, I don't think anyone would complain about that. I'd pay a sub and start over from scratch if it came with official support, security, and no possibility of a shutdown. Private servers might be free, but they're usually broken out the ass, run terribly, aren't secure, have little to no support, and can eventually shutdown, taking all your work with it. Official servers would avoid all of these, and be worth paying for.

We could also get some hosted in the US, which would be a dream come true for Americans like myself, who are crippled playing on foreign servers. They don't host in the US because of legal problems, which official backing would totally remove. Regardless of where they hosted here, it would still be a winner for everyone vs playing on something on the other side of the world.

That's just it, Blizz has always been thinking about Legacy Servers, the big issue for them was having two separate levels of content on the same server list. Even Pristine Servers would just be the same content, but with some auxiliary features taken out. Even the taking down of Nost was a bit of a 'Well if we don't shut it down things might go badly, but let's make the best of it' situation.

Not everyone at Blizz is a 'You think you want it but you don't' shitter.

They probably still have the source code for vanilla, it's system integration which will be the hard part. I don't even know if the Nost team can do that but if they can and this is actually happening, they'll probably be hired. Also Nost's source code was shit.

No they're not. They're also the old character models.

>crying vocal minority wins again

If Blizzard does this I'll immediately unsubscribe. I will NOT pay a subscription fee just so it can be channeled in stupid dead meme servers that nobody will play on anyways once the initial hype dies down after two weeks. The reason why Nostalrius had any players at all was because these were unloyal moochers who wanted something for free and didn't want to pay. Nobody will pay a cent for the shit that was Vanilla, and the fact that Blizzard now caters in to a vocal minority of pirates and ignores the vast majority of the player base that is against the idea would be a 100% deal breaker to me.
>>

YOU CANT BE SERIOUS

There are 3million US SUBs ALONE

There was what 200k petition cucks?

2000,00/3,000,000 =/- 50% senpai lmao
>>
>>336011280
If Blizzard wanted to recreate vanilla servers, even if through some miracle they didn't have the source code and databases for older versions of the server software, they wouldn't have needed Nostalrius devs to do the job. Open source emulation, near identical to Nostalrius on most accounts, has existed a long time and if Blizzard actually wanted legacy servers, they could have made their own MaNGOS fork long ago.

And more realistically, they do have the source code no matter how many bullshit claims they make about it. Of course, if they wanted to integrate legacy servers to current Battle.net for example, it'd take some work (both in terms of the client and the server) and you realistically couldn't use the old code completely as-is (for example, they'd want to fix some exploits and security issues, and the server probably uses libraries that also need to be updated for security or other reasons and they might not be backwards-compatible), but is it REALLY such a big deal? We're probably talking about hundreds of man-hours but considering the available resources and no pressing schedule, no.
>>
So when the fuck is the meeting
>>
>>336012002
wow probbly has less then 3m subs by now lmao
>>
>>336011926

People on Nostalrius forums were literally instructing others about running script bots that made up fake email adresses and names to generate thousands of fake signatures a day. The petition is 100% worthless and I wouldn't be surprised if barely 50k of those signees were actually real individuals. They already ran an illegal pirate server, so why would I trust them in any way whatsoever not to do shady shit again with the petition? They obviously have no moral qualms about fraud or illegality in the first place.
>>
>>336011926
and not even 1% of that will ever pay monthly to play on vanilla servers

the private servers are only popular because its free

if blizzard goes through with pristine servers, they will die out in a few months
>>
>>336012002
There are less than 1 million level 100 characters in the US. The majority of US servers have ~5k level 100s or less. 250k people could fill up 50 of those servers.

If this was the case then why are private servers of modern versions of the game like cata, mop, wod so unpopular they're not worth running? If it was just the fact that it was free no one would play the "worse" version of the game. 1 million people are willing to play vanilla when it's free, a few thousand at best want to play current WoW when it's free.

dont worry nostard. your very post is a perfect embodiment of how toxic and undesirable the vanilla "community" (if you want to call the ~200 people who keep spamming on every website and forum a "community" lol) is. Should Blizzard cave in to you, it will cause a massive outrage on the forums and they will hopefully reconsider the idea. If they should go through with it after all, they will quickly realize that pandering to a bunch of chinese and brazilian gold farmers at the cost of pissing off their loyal fanbase that has paid all throughout WoD was not a good idea

They always state the code is gone but it's just the server scripting. All the assets are in the vanilla client which is readily available. If they use nosts scripting or have them finish it its already mostly complete. Some bugs needed fixed but AQ and naxx are the only raids that weren't finished either and AQ was in testing when the server went down so its mostly done.

No. For years studios in both the east and Japan lost or just tossed out code once a game was released, but this especially the case with Japanese companies.

Examples of eastern MMO doing this lie in Runescape, which had to go through some serious searching for the original game's code to put up the legacy server, and EverQuest 2's legacy servers with the tutorial boat

A few weeks ago they said they'd release some of the Nost script code on April 30th, so that's likely the announcement this weekend.

source? evidence? also Nostalrius has been called out even by other private server teams like Kronos to have faked its player numbers and somebody posted a screenshot of there was a site run by them where you could buy gold. So any numbers given to you by Nostalrius staff might as well be made up.

again, Nostalrius staff has shown that they have no skrupel about illegal activity. so why should we assume that they didn't lie about the player count??

I'd rather just have a vanilla server, then later have a BC server which you can copy your characters to from the vanilla server. That way you get the best of both worlds.

Yeah, either way I'd be happy. Being able to have the choice to stay in Vanilla would be nice also since we know a lot of people got upset when BC dropped.

Sounds good in theory, terrible idea in practice, it will just cause history to repeat and people want vanilla servers again, it's inevitable, it's how we got to this point we're in now.

A better option is individual servers for each expansion, with a one direction, permanent transfer from an older to a newer.

Finish vanilla/get tired of it/didn't enjoy it as much as you wanted and don't want to abandon your character? You can move to the TBC server, ect. That way people who want vanilla can keep it forever more, people who want to move on can take their character and move.

Although it's Blizzard, that step up to the next expansion would probably cost $25 per character.

It was the reason why almost everybody played on Nostalrius. If they werent just trying to play for free, then there would be nothing stopping them from just playing on retail, capping on 60 and then forming guilds for classic raids. That way they could have played both the old content and all the other expansions if they wanted. But they didn't do that. Why? because then they would have had to pay. It's not rocket science to figure out

If you had any clue about what you were talking about you would know just how pointless this is. The game is so broken you can do MC naked with level 1 weapons because all the spells are way overtuned at low levels to make leveling as easy as possible for the neo-WoW audience like yourself.
>>
>>336014675
You can't "cap at 60 and do classic raids". You have as much HP and DPS as a Vanilla level 60 at level 15 now. You can solo half the raids at level 60 on retail. You can solo Kara at 70 too.
>>
>>336014646
>having posters for the 3 worst expansions and nothing else

there's the answer
>>
>>336014489
I think people called Deadmines DM before Dire Maul came out. After it actually came out Dire Maul was more relevant than Deadmines so people started calling it DM too. In the end people found a way to avoid confusion by calling Deadmines VC since Van Cleef is more popular than any of the Dire Maul bosses.

I always saw both referred to as DM but you always said which wing of Dire Maul you were going so you knew. Or you /who'd them and if they were level 20 it was unlikely they were going Dire Maul. Didn't see anyone call it VC until Cataclysm when some servers were merged.

legacy servers have to be programmed and maintained by people. that costs money. and since the ludicrously small amount of people who'd play on them for more than a few weeks would not be enough to cover the costs, literally 99% of the costs for the legacy servers would have to be taken from the true fans who are playing WoW proper the way it was intended by Blizzard before a bunch of vocal spammers took over the forums.

bad thread man

legacy servers are a good thing, honestly I don't understand why anyone is complaining. You think it will take away development time from the current game? Blizzard still did one patch for basically 2 years for WOD without legacy servers, adding a new server that requires no content development time is not going to fix that issue, you've got a bigger problem.

Besides, it's important to keep as much of this stuff archived as possible. For the most part old books can still be experienced, same with old movies or plays or whatever else, but games don't have an equivalent, especially multiplayer games like this. It's a part of gaming history. If you're against it, you're an idiot, that's really all there is to it.

The balance was shit.
The classes were horrible
The design was bad in many aspects
The specs didn't work

A good portion of people who played classic or still play on privates can confirm this. and yet it's still the most fun you can have in a wow game. Classic just makes it so easy to interact and talk with people and have genuine video game RP and adventures. from lvl 1 to 60 you can have a great time, unlike on the current expansions, where you simply have to plow through lvl 1 to the cap as fast as possible to even start playing the game.

Might be different for some people, it's just personal and anecdotal experience. But i've played since mid classic and on many private servers over the years. Again, the most active and social communities that existed were on classic. Maybe it was just me.
