WE DID IT
WE'RE GETTING VANILLA SERVERS
Meh. I did hear it was really easy to play Warrior tank in vanilla, just sunder and that's it. Maybe I'll give it a try.
You're not going to pay for it though.
nice
now blizzard will make a legacy server, and we can move on from having the front page spammed with with this.
>Blizzard "lolno"
>More faggotry from Nostfags
>>334939541
>150 000 people who were active
No wonder they shut your delusional shit down
>>334939541
He thinks because 200,000 poorfags who wanted to play for free signed a shitty petition that Blizzard gives a fuck .
NEVERNEVER

Now we just need to wait until blizzcon for announcement and winter 2016 for the actual fucking servers.

The only way you can make a difference is if you convince people to not buy Legion.
>>334941689
this
YOU THINK YOU DO, BUT
>>334939541
"You think you want that, but you really really don't." I don't understand why Blizzard is so adverse to it considering people have been nuts for vanilla would probably pay for a supported server from Blizzard themselves.
Make the vanilla server 3/4ths of a regular subscription and add micro transaction skin shit to it and I'm sure they'll be rolling in money

Mages had it pretty easy. Just make food, and shoot an ice bolt every once in a while to avoid threat.
Id rather they work on the actual game, nostalgia makes you forget how crappy vanilla was.

blizzard will take notice if you get up to a million signatures that will say they will pay money
>>334941893
Let me guess, you got it in some dogshit unbalanced faceroll season like 5 and ever since you've thought you're the hottest shit to ever live?
>>334942158

fuck off y2j
>>334941825
Because they make way more money off of selling expansions.
If they give you the option to play normally without buying the expansion, that entire business model goes to shit.
They want EVERYONE to buy the expansion. They don't want a splintered user base where some buy the expansion and some don't. They need to push the narrative that if you don't buy the expansion, you don't get new content and you get left in the dust.
>>334943825
You are talking about TBC prepatch. All vanilla private servers are 1.12.
Filling out a petition does not equal getting the goal of that petition
Hell this one isn't even likely
>>334942015
>Kern's face when he prints it and it's the same name 75000 thousand names
>>334942836
What's obnoxious is how you feel like you're entitled to one version of the game and that Blizzard has to do what you say because "we're right and they're wrong." Like >>334943052, you're just trying to tack on arguments that will fall apart upon actual implementation. You say "oh, we're going to pay for this," when Nostalrius was free to join and only less than a quarter of the registered accounts were active.
Feel free to ignore that once you get through all the content of Vanilla, there's nothing left to do. It's basically a drain of time and resources to maintain legacy servers that aren't going to receive content updates. And you're going to start schisming the community into two factions opposed to one another, with one nostalgia-based group and one modern retail-based group.
You Nostalriusfags can't even think beyond "GIVE US VANILLA, IT'S A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE WE SAY SO." You just want legacy to be contrarian to Blizzard and to relive nostalgia that will fall apart after days of grinding through the 30s levels. Not everyone wants to play your style, and forcing Blizzard to devote resources to this project that would probably, at most, garner a fraction of the active accounts at the time of Nostalrius's closing will likely cause them to cut costs somewhere. You'd likely kill any chance of decent content being pumped out for modern retail because they would have people working on servers that will remain stagnant once the last Vanilla content comes out.
Your selfishness is what is annoying. That you would rather think about getting Legacy than thinking of any other big picture concepts.
>tfw I got back into TOR since I wanted to play an MMO and forgot it existed
>tfw I got a couple of my buddies to play with me and we're all making fresh characters
>tfw we set down rules so one of us doesn't pull too far ahead in levels
I heard the latest expansion actually has a writing budget almost on par with the class storylines this time, can any TORfags confirm this?

>>334942015
Congratulations on proving a point that Nostalriusfags are so desperate for what THEY want that they'll bloat their own numbers to try to get what they want.
>>334944048
Then charge more for the vanilla sub. Most of these people aren't paying for a sub right now anyway. More money for minimal cost is better than no money at all/
>>334943862
Wasn't it? I mean, you never saw people completely clear endgame content in a matter of weeks in Vanilla/BC.
>>334944380
That's what the nost developers did in the game, littering it with corpses and characters to inflate numbers, so why not us?
>>334944251

Nostalriusfags are willing to pay for something that's separate from the main product and can co-exist (Kind of like OSRS).
Tumblr activist want to change established products to suit their agenda.
BLIZZARD PAJEETS BTFO, POO IN LOO BLIZZSHILLS

What?

>Kotick
Jesus fucking Christ how horrifying
>>334944586
Vanilla mechanics were a joke, but trying to get 40 retards and children together and do everything correctly when the game was new was a fucking nightmare. And then Naxx was so gear dependent that one minor hiccup was a wipe.
TBC mechanics got a little harder in places but again it was mainly stat tuning.
These days it's not as gear dependent but there's a thousand things going on every fight. People have played it for 10 years and Blizzard have to answer that by just piling on more and more mechanics each time.
It's why content on private servers gets cleared instantly, it's a fucking joke when you go back knowing exactly how to play your class and what to do for every encounter.
I think the main issue is that blizzard makes their old content useless. They really should think about going about the ffxiv route.
>>334943862
And you, post your face when you tried to get 8 tanks in 6 parts T2/2 parts T3 AND communicate properly without the VOIP tools we have today AND not fuck up aggro for the 4H.
>>334944586
because wow players in vanilla werent concerned about dps performance or min maxing until AQ40/Naxx
Warriors ran 31 points into arms and could still tank
Druids had an identity problem so they just healed
Hunters weren't even allowed to properly dps because serpent sting was a waste of a debuff slot
Mages spammed frost bolt
paladins healed even if they were using a reckoning build
Priests healed as holy. A few had to actually start stacking hit and go Disc for Instructor razuvious for mind control
over 70% of rogue damage was auto attacks. Yet none of them ever tried to get hit or expertise. the best dagger in the game until Naxx was a blue dagger (distracting dagger) that gave +15 to dagger skill
Shamans were just there to give windfury totem, heal a little, and abuse grounding totem on princess huhuran
warlocks spammed shadowbolt
Only reasoning vanilla raids could have been harder was managing 40 people in a raid. It wasn't bad for MC, BWL, firs thalf of AQ40, because a raid of 40 could get carried by 10 players. Guilds died during Naxx for a reason
>>334942443
>b...but muh nerdy no-life everquest
sorry you could have a job and play wow
>Vanilla WoW
Nah, what we actually need is WotLK servers.
I don't care about 'muh hardcore mmo', I want it to be reasonably challenging, actual multiplayer game and I want Pre-Cata world back.
I believe I'm not the only one.
>>334946394
God damn, when you put it all like that, Vanilla really sucked a fat one didn't it?
>>334939659
That's not how you do it. It's involved in the rotation but just sundering is far from optimal, it's not your highest threat move.
Preach is an idiot, assuming you heard this from his video.
>>334946552
Play Dalaran-WoW. Coming from someone who usually can't stand privates it's the best you're ever going to get, Naxx was near perfectly scripted. I stopped playing when they released Ulduar 'cause I had no time but people were reporting that it was working just fine.
>>334946593
No bro, stop letting the Blizzdrone brainwash you when we're already this close to getting what we wanted. Vanilla raiding was better than Retail in every way.
>>334946394
And Fury warriors topping the charts in AQ/Naxx gear but had to stop attacking if they didn't want the boss to smack their face.
Threat meters were huge in vanilla now kids don't even know about aggro anymore.
What faction bros? we need to come up with a name for the /v/ guild too.
All blizzard will do is post a lengthy apology/explanation of why they won't do it.
If you think anything will really happen you are beyond delusional.
P.S. vanilla was shit.
>>334946728
Seeing as Nost got sued, Dalaran will be too in the matter of days.
>>334945763
Bitch please, MMOs nowadays aren't even MMOs. It's literally no different than if SMITE were pure PVE oriented and the size of your team could hit 25-40 or some shit.
There's no fucking difference. Everyone only cares about MUH RAIDS which are basically tiny ass maps with set gimmicks.
D:OS2 has more immersion and dynamism than every single instance of WoW put together and you can only have 4 people at the same time.
>>334945763
>TBC mechanics got a little harder in places but again it was mainly stat tuning.
Ignorant to the max
Vanilla servers would only sever as a bandaid on a brain tumor.
You cannot save this game.
Let it go.
>>334946826
This. Taking longer to do things isn't fun, it's a chore. Paying for the privilege of not having fun is something girls do.
>>334946826
>vanilla was shit
opinion invalidated
all of the support and social media hype around this thing indicates that it'd be massively popular and profitable for blizzard, it almost will definitely happen unless they decide to exercise some top tier delusion
>>334945158
>Pay
How many of those 200k are actually going to pay for it now that the servers won't be free.
>>334946552
You're not.
The only reason i would want play Vanilla Wow is because it's kind of legendary.
I only started playing WOW during the Burning Crusade, and while it was amazing, I wish I did earlier and experienced it for myself.
Cataclysm was shit, at leas everyone agrees on that.
>>334946745
But what the guy said was all true. Mages literally did just spam frostbolt, I should know, I played one. Granted I was a retarded 14 year old but it was more than enough to get us through everything but Naxx.
>>334946826
>lengthy explanation
These are the people that were trying to sue Valve over a character being named Skeleton King. They will shut it down without a single word and sick lawyers on anyone who will try to bring it up.
>>334946857
They didn't get sued. There's also tons of private servers that have been up for years. Nost was just popular and Blizz gave it a backhand to remind people of what they do when these things get out of control.
Also if anyone thinks a petition is going to get them to change their minds they're fucking retarded.
>>334939861
>front page
Wow less than 1% wow subscribers actively played/wanted that.
>>334947386

>>334947386
The thing is, there are many people that would never even play a shitty private server, but pay for an official Blizzard private server. I know at least a dozen.
But it's not going to happen.
>>334939541
Thanks for the show of support loyal blizzard gamers!
To get you into Vanilla you'll have to Purchase World of Warcraft: Classic which is different from the current game. It will be priced at $60. Then just pay your $20 subscription and you're good to go!
Don't forget, no token system in Classic so that's not an option!All these delusional retards that think blizzard is going to give them Vanilla for free. I would charge you faggots more than retail because you're clearly mentally challenged for wanting to play an old version of the game.
never played on nost or any of these vanilla servers. I am assuming that because it's free it was infested with chinks? how fucked was the economy because of it? I saw a screenshot of ironforge before the server was going to shut down and everyone had an epic mount and that shit was hard to get in vanilla
>>334942360
>arguably the hardest seasons
Yeah man that's why people cleaved it up and sold titles more than ever.
>>334947648
As opposed to beating a scripted dungeon that literally doesn't change week after week after week? Oh no Dark Souls lite with 20 people, so hard!

>>334948067

>>334948002
The server was up for a year. The only people that stuck around on Nost played a lot. In Vanilla there's just no point in half assing it so 75% of people got bored after level 20.
Don't forget that a LOT of people that played Vanilla were kids with all the free time in the world, who are now adults with jobs.like me ;_;
>>334939541
You think you have enough signatures, but you don't.
>>334941519
>>334941689
>>334941761
I mean, there is a lot of petitions and they could charge the same amount and people wouldnt really complain.
I wouldn't run away from the money, as president.
If only half of those people actually play it, that signed, it would still be a million and a half dosh, if i remember correctly it was 15 dollars a month, right?
Then what does this make in a year? I mean, come on.

>Petition race
Memes aside, they won't do anything until legion has been out for awhile. A vanilla server would make legion look like the trashheap of a expac that it is.
>>334945443
maybe in china, less in eu/na
>>334948224
They won't notice it until it's a lynching mob right at their door. And even then they will probably try to sue it first.
>>334948063
>>334948126
Look, I'm not saying EVERYONE knows a dozen people who want the same thing. I'm just saying, those people are out there. They can't stand putting up with shitty buggy versions of a game they loved, but would pay to go back to it if Blizz was running the show.
Again though, it's never going to happen and people are delusion for believing so.
>>334941696
I cleared BWL back in the day without ever thinking about checking up my class mechanics online.
I was a hunter. I was auto attacking 85% of the time. Vanilla was just a non-stop gear check for the raid nothing else don't get delusional.

You truly don't understand business then. If people want vanilla so badly then they could charge whatever they want and people will still buy it.
You think they won't charge $60? They would have to have an entirely devoted development, maintenance and QA team, not to mention servers.
Heh, but keep dreaming about your cheap vanilla. I hope they get you fucks for $100 or more.

I'm saying they were a nightmare to organise. Of course they were still fun, but if you weren't a guild leader in Vanilla, you won't know what I mean when I say it was a fucking headache getting 39 other people who sort of know how to play to work together, especially when back then there were more kids.
Nost is irrelevant, all those people came back to do what they'd already done and knew exactly how to do it.

>>334948967
I know there was more to do, but I don't think I could go from having an actual rotation that changes depending on the situation to literally pressing one key over and over again.

>>334948572
That's not how business works at all. If you actually want people to buy your product you determine how many people would buy at a given price balanced by the need to make a profit. Seeing as private vanilla servers exist for minimal cost and upkeep you really think that a company like Blizzard would have any trouble replicating that?
You have no fucking idea how business and pricing works.
>>334949227
What? If anything his opinion is more valid than anyone at Blizz. He's not getting paid to say the right things and doesn't risk losing his job by telling it straight.
It wouldn't be as easy as some people think but it certainly wouldn't be much sweat off Blizzard's back.

>>334949381
>mark kern
stopped reading there
>>334949347
No, a lot of people would just want to do the full experience and stop when they conquered Naxx. Which, while it would take a good while, is one of the reasons Blizz will never ever do this. Most people will realise how shitty Vanilla is in 2016 and quit after level 20. The people that stay will then mostly leave when they've done everything.
>>334944171
You're the type of person who works in a restaurant but complains when people come in 15 minutes before closing even though you'll get more money from them.
It's really funny watching people who would pay blizzard for a vanilla server calling other people blizzdrones.

HAHAHA
23 GUILDS YOU FUCKING IDIOT
>>334949559
>When it comes to implementing something into World of Warcraf.. Yes?
Considering Mark Kern was the team lead when World of Warcraft was actually developed, I think his opinion on implementing features into the game is pretty relevant.
I love how this guy comes out and BTFO's all of the blizzshills by telling you that you're basically retarded and you frantically shift the goalposts so that everything he says is invalidated because he disagrees with you.
He straight up tells you how easy and cheap it'd be. There's absolute no reason to not take his word on that unless you're so desperate for that $0.05/shitpost job.
>>334947610
I don't understand how Jagex is related to WoW to make these kinds of calculations
>>334949837
I'm aware that I'll be paying Blizzard for legacy servers. You're not as smart as you think you are.
>>334949014
He doesn't actually address any of the points that I listed. He says patching costs money not that letting the game be costs money.
He doesn't say in any way that people playing the game they want is detrimental TO YOU. It doesn't affect you in any way if there are vanilla servers. You can continue to play the latest expansions.
He says "other MMO's tried this and failed" but we can see very obviously in Runescape that it does work. What other MMO's have tried this? Do you have any examples?
That video doesn't debunk anything. He just says "It's hard and we don't want to do it"
I don't actual vanilla WoW is doable. Mostly because it was a flawed, broken piece of shit. I do however, think that re-vitalizing the community by attempting to re-model retail WoW like vanilla WoW is a better solution.
Remove the queue shit like LFG, add group quests, restore Azeroth to it's state before the Cataclysm and you'll pretty much fix the major problems with retail WoW. You don't have to completely reset the game, I'd much rather keep the QoL stuff like the transmog wardrobe and barbershop as opposed to having everything removed for the sake of being pure vanilla. I don't want my warrior to be nothing but a tank, spec balance in vanilla was godawful as was the raid boss design.
>>334950042
>Both MMOs
>Both became extremely popular in the mid 2000s

It's as close of a relation as you'll get.
>>334950139
great blogpost. do you have a tumblr I can follow?
>>334950191
Yeah, except one is still number #1 after more than a decade and one was in complete distress
>>334945582
No one that has ever worked in retail will tell you that. The customer's opinion is tolerated purely because strangling them isn't legal
>>334950378
It's still a very related scenario. Try again.
>>334950078
It goes without saying that two different versions of the same game splits the playerbase for the worse and everything else is not feasible as he said. Stop using runescape as an example of success, that shit has like 50k players at best
>>334949976
I wasn't saying that implementing it would be a bad idea, I was saying that when it comes to something being implemented into the game the only thing that matters is the opinion of people who are currently in the company, why should they care that someone who doesn't work there anymore has an opinion?
Blizzard could definitely squeeze out a decent amount of money by pulling this legacy server stunt but they really don't have to, and this petition isn't exactly monumental.
>>334950445
>It's still a very related scenario
If you say so, armchair analyst
>>334949642
Fuck those people, the closing up process starts almost an hour before actual closing time.
>>334949931
23 guilds when the game was new, when Naxx was new and nobody had ever seen the fights before, when guides weren't readily available online and when people hadn't been playing the game for nearly a decade.
Naxx by today's standards is easy as fuck, it's just heavily gear dependent.
BWL got cleared on Nost in a matter of hours, as I recall.
>>334944171
People asked for this in runescape and it was very successful. If anything, I would take it up with blizzard, who is a multi billion dollar company, as to why they have to take resources from up to date wow to keep legacy wow afloat
>>334944067
So after the rework of warlock ?
Guess i'm gonna roll a warlock
>>334950402
I work in retail and I try very hard to get the customer what they want. That way they come back and bring repeat business.
Is there an mmo with actual consequences if you die/wipe. I.e. Lose gear, point etc
>>334950139
And you think a huge portion of the current casual WoW fanbase won't immediately quit when they REMOVE stuff that makes the game easier?
>>334950582
They'd have to cut into the execs end of year bonuses to keep vanilla wow up. Can't have that.
>>334950694
Then I have to ask what field you worked in that you didn't hate the job.
I worked in women's clothing
>>334950460
>It goes without saying that two different versions of the same game splits the playerbase
The playerbase is already split anon. 10 million people quit the game and no longer play. Not an argument.
>everything else is not feasible as he said
Weird. Nostalrius did itfor free, and with a small handful of amateur developers.
http://www.pcinvasion.com/ex-world-of-warcraft-dev-explains-blizzard-vanilla
And then you have the team lead when the game was actually made telling you it's extremely feasible.
>Stop using runescape as an example of success
Why? Because it BTFO's your side of the argument. 50k concurrent players during peak for Oldschool Runescape is phenominal, all things considered.
>>334950774
People are already leaving, who cares at this point?

>>334950761

Look, this poster gets it.
>>334950915
>>334944248
I can, it's pretty cool, very story based
>>334950460
>splits the playerbase
What playerbase? WoW is already turned into a COOP game no different than Diablo only with higher player cap. The world itself is the lobby, and the raids are when you join the game.
What is this community that you speak of? People don't even talk to each other inside these instances, why would they talk to random strangers they pass by in their luxury lobby?
>>334950761
Yes there is a gear repair cost :^)
>>334949347
I'd like to play through the old raids, but generally speaking the point of legacy servers for me is to be able to grow a character organically and play at the cap you want without having the community be dead because the 5-10% of people who want to enjoy the ride are spread out across all the servers playing with the 90% of people who are only interested in playing at the level cap.
I'd like to play Vanilla again, but the idea would be to get through all the raids at the proper cap before moving on and doing it with BC, and then WotLK, and then Cataclysm, and so on.
The big problem with WoW is that leveling through dead content sucks, leveling way too fast through dead content also sucks, and getting a boost to the latest expansions minimum level sucks. The issue isn't that Vanilla was a much better game. The issue is that people want community, which is something that was neglected in recent expansions.
Alternatively, they could make a bunch of money just dropping the MMO portion and making the game a fucking single player game that is paced correctly.
>>334950885
Mechanically? It's a joke. It was only ever hard because people hadn't already done it and the gear checks were insane.
Stop kidding yourself. There's a reason everything got cleared on Nostalrius instantly.
>>334950806
I'm a butcher. I've got a few repeat customers that I now know by name and we talk for about half an hour each time they come in.
There's one old Chinese guy that teaches me some dirty tricks for fighting each time he comes in. Another guy is a history professor at a local university. I even have some people I knew in high school come in to buy things from time to time.
I always try to get the customer exactly what they want.
>>334950484
>I was saying that when it comes to something being implemented into the game the only thing that matters is the opinion of people who are currently in the company
I understand that it's their decision at the end of the day whether or not the servers go up, but people outside of Blizzard who are experienced in the industry can definitely weigh in and still have a valid opinion. Kern says legacy servers are easy to do and would be very cheap, and you're saying that he can't possibly be right because he doesn't currently work for Blizzard Entertainment™?
Come on son.
>>334951013
As opposed to the totally hip and trendy neckbeards playing current WoW?
>>334949748
>summoning portal and health stone in dps rotation

just stop. the only complex pve mechanic MAYBE was threat management and downscaling your healing spells
>>334950818
>The playerbase is already split anon
It isn't, it's basically a bunch of non-players versus the people who still play and will be back for legion. You're a cipher and insignificant in the grand scheme of things, all of you private server fags.
And you're missing the point entirely, did it ever occur to you that blizz doesn't want to split their players into those who play old games and their new ones? WoW isn't diablo 2 or wc3, it's an online game that changes over time with patches and content
The other things are still not feasible since it's a waste of resources and unsustainable in the long-term.
Here's a food analogy lmao, restaurants that cater to a bunch of old geriatric cunts before the young vibrant customers is doomed. Don't bother replying
>>334950852

Just fucking stop playing WoW. If you let the game die, either they will actually work on it to make it better, or it will deservedly die a death thast's been coming for years.
>>334941271
Blizzard listens to their customers sometimes.
>>334946394
Shamans could tank instances and were one of the best raid healers around. Also, Earthbind totem for Razorgore the Guildbreaker.
Druids were around for shitty heals and innervate and sometimes off-tanking.
Rogue damage has always been about auto attack, that's why fast weapons were important.
Hunters were for kiting dragonkin around.
Vanilla WoW sucked.

Vanilla raids were harder, whatever way you want to slice it.
>>334951291
The ship isn't sinking, it's sunk. If Blizzard are going to do anything, they can throw the people who still give a fuck about WoW a bone instead of telling them what they really want.
I mean just fuck Blizzard. I feel less insulted by Konami for the pachinko shit, at least they admit to be cunts. Blizzard does nothing but lie and pretend they still give a fuck.
>>334950864

>>334951678
That sounds fun as fuck.
It feels like the very people who say wow is dead and want it to just die also want to keep it alive in zombie form
>>334945574
How the fuck does someone like that get into Blizz Tech Support? Oh right... They're SJW.
Sell your Battle.net account and move on with your lives. There's no redemption for Blizzard, they are very, very content with being complete chodes and making abysmal games aimed at toddlers.

>>334951105
This. The world in WoW is fucking dead, it plays like a shitty singleplayer game with combat that's not engaging enough, and a story that's so shallow that I don't even want to play it as such.
Why play wow for anything but a fun 3d platformer, and that's only if you do mythic raids and ignore all the try hard autists in vent or mumble or whatever the fuck?
blizzard shows their company mindset now. They're jack of all trades and masters of none, they show 0 confidence as a developer despite refusing to ever admit their faults, yet they pander to every fucking popular video game trope in an attempt to catch some addictive normie fanbase.

He also probably doesn't know Kern was Project lead for WoW and also developed Diablo 2 and Starcraft. Blizz should try to brush up on their own company's fucking history sometime.
They should just do what TOR did. It would make them far more money and keep players since you can technically play the whole game for free.

>Nostalgia is why they are so highly rated
The polls were taken when the raids were relevant. MC/BWL are by far the highest rated raids because a lot of people struggled and finally succeeded in those raids.
'Pro' guilds who have raided throughout all expansions rate AQ40 and Ulduar as the best raids ever.
>>334952530
Vanilla private servers alone prove this retarded post wrong
>>334952445
Not him but what is this graph trying to prove? It's natural that when a company becomes more ambitious, there's longer periods between more stuff. Why do you think final fantasy went from 1 full game a year in the ps1 era to 1 full game every 2 years in the ps2 era
>>334952631
Keep reposting the same shit every thread, loser. Maybe if you post it one more time blizz will become bankrupt!
Come to think of it, it's not like there aren't people chomping at the bit to come back to WoW. The thing is they've done it once, twice, three times before, and every time they stick around less and less because shit gets less and less familiar.

>>334952690
>It's natural that when a company becomes more ambitious

I can promise you that if Blizzard made a Legacy server nobody would play on it, why? Because Blizzard would make you pay for it beyond level 20.
>>334952631

>>334944171
>Feel free to ignore that once you get through all the content of Vanilla, there's nothing left to do.
The exact same thing could be said about WoD. Its been the same content patch for a year. It will be almost 16 months of the same content once legion is released. I played the game for less than 3 weeks and cleared all the heroic content, then canceled my sub. There was nothing left but farm old shit for transmog.
These are people asking for a service to be provided by the IP holder in which they are willing to give money for. I personally would even buy legion if it ment access to a progressive vanilla server, that went through all the expansions (pre wotlk). Thats at least 4 years worth of subscriptions.
Vanilla was when the game was the worst, if anything we need a WotLK server. Subscriber numbers alone prove that it was the best expansion.
>subscriber numbers mean best content
If they remain strong for the entirety of the expansion then yes, it does mean that.
Would blizzard stand to lose anything by saying no? I doubt the people here complaining have wow subs to cancel to begin with.
>>334952885
>the real fun begins

>>334953024
>The exact same thing could be said about WoD
The difference is new content gets added to retail eventually. Vanilla stays vanilla forever.
>>334952684
You see the problem is, you think you want it, but you don't.
>>334953173
True, but this was after the nost fiasco. They may budge if people show them enough. Like many anons have said, runescape did this and it was very successful for them.
I'm indifferent either way. WoW fucking sucks now.
>>334953173
You aren't answering his question, just randomly making another statement that has no explicit bearing on his post.
>>334953173
Yeah and I'm saying I doubt the people who say "wow as it is now is shit" are playing anyway, it's not a loss of sale. The ones who say that and play retail anyway are addicted and literally can't stop doing something they don't like.
>>334953085
They'd most likely lose money if they did it. As well as set a precedent for all the whiners to lean on if they want anything different.
>loud minority wants vanilla servers
>a fraction of those want progressive servers
>some of them want TBC only
>and a few WotlK only
>they all start bitching and must be catered to
The amount of people and infrastructure they'd have to dedicate to this would far, far outweigh any potential gain. And 200k subs is not a relevant number in any way.
>>334945763
>It's why content on private servers gets cleared instantly, it's a fucking joke when you go back knowing exactly how to play your class and what to do for every encounter
If we took two fresh servers, one in 6.2.3 and another with the TBC pre patch and placed 3000 people on each server, I can guarantee you the 6.2.3 mythic difficulty will be cleared 100% months before people even kill Cthun.

What infuriates by about the latest answer to this question when it was brought up during the last BlizzCon, they answered that "Many other MMO's did this and it was not sustainable".
In reality, the only 2 companies that did it, one of which as Runescape, made it wildly successful. The vanilla Runescape server is bigger than the actual new Runescape.

>>334953085
If they make legacy servers it will go two ways :
- they make a server for each xpac but the only populated ones will be Vanilla or BC
- they make a server for Vanilla and/or BC only
In both cases, Blizzard would have to admit that they're going in the wrong direction with the game so I don't see legacy servers happening.
>>334953543

>240fps on a gaming rig, will have played the game itself for years and have likely completed naxx in Wrath so know the actual mechanics inside and out, they just have to put up with the farming bullshit
Someone even linked an 18 minute video of someone explaining why Naxx was hard. The ONLY point he made that wasn't related to farming was that healers had it rough, which admittedly they did. But guess what? People who've played a healer for a decade won't have much trouble in Naxx40.
>>334953669
But that defeats the whole fucking point of a legacy vanilla server

>>334953717
They could release a WotLK server and introduce caps at 60, 70, 80, etc, with one server per cap and say "there, go play at whatever content cap you like. Feel free to give us 25$ to transfer off whenever you finish."
Blizzard offering vanilla servers could almost be considered a legitimization to send lawyers after NostWalrus or whatever it's called.
>>334953887
>ignoring that the playerbase was at its height in Wrath and stayed that way the entire expansion, even with a year of ICC
>>334953943
Nost was planning to do this. Just make a second server that allows character transfers.
>>334953463
The biggest difference would be after 6 months the 3000 players on the vanilla server would grow to 10k+ and the WoD server would barely have 500 people left.
>>334954114
>Corecraft FINALLY comes out

>>334954186
You might wanna check that graph again, buddy. It hit its peak and then started to drop in Wrath.

>>334952680
MC is the most boring shithole there ever was and I will never understand what people saw in that place.
Oh wait I think I do:
I was in one of those normal guilds that cleared MC roughly arround the time AQ hit the servers.
It was time for us to move on to BWL since most of us had their full T1.
Of course we got our shit pushed in by Razorgore because people actually weren't able to do anything but press their 3-5 buttons over and over again and maybe walk a few meters if the direction is clear and twenty macros and people yell at them.
But you know what most of them said?
>"Hurr I don't like this place, let's do MC and Zul instead, there I know what to do and we can be sure to get our loot."
I left the guild that day.
Fucking retards it wasn't even nostalgia, it was the pat on the head for doing something "epic", easy mechanics and the fact that you could faceroll for the most part that made people like MC.
These people have always been the majority of the WoW players and they still are, casual retards that can do nothing but level their 8 alts and complain they get not enough free shit shoved up their asses.
>>334954475
Yeah, that's good right? Temporary "fixes" are what make games great! Just look at Killing Floor 2.
Blizzard don't give fuckall shit about WoW and will minimize support after Legion
They've shifted focus to Overwatch and Hearthstone

Modern retail WoW doesn't have a fucking community, so that shouldn't be a problem.
This is all basic business sense. If hundreds of thousands of people are telling you they'll give you money for a thing, something which doesn't take a lot to implement(don't try to pretend it would. If a handful of amateur frogs could do it with little budget, a multi-billion dollar company should have no fucking problem), it makes perfectly logical sense to give that thing to them. That's all we're doing here with this petition.

The last two times the reported were 5,500,000ish and 5,600,000ish. This was summer and fall of last year, summer was right after 6.1 was the worst "content" patch ever and after the massive honorbuddy ban wave. The following rose because 6.2 could actually be called content.
If the trend would continue I imagine it's still over or just under 5,000,000 due to no content over the last two quarters. It'll spike back up for legion I'm sure but settle again a quarter or two after.
I'm currently unsubscribed and don't plan on subscribing until at least Legion, I just think it's going good for them still.

The inherent problem with "legacy" servers is that there's no unanimously agreed upon cut-off point for where you stop.
People liked Vanilla, TBC, and WotLK, but what they're failing to realize is that there's still people that liked Cata and MoP.
>>334956761
Kronos I guess, scripting is comparable, you can buy some tabards and mounts from the cash shop but that's it. If you want vanilla this is your best option.

>>334957034
>A petition doesn't change anything

It shows demand people (including Blizzard) said there wasn't. People are willing to pay for legacy servers, that's the entire point of the petition.
>hurr durr you only want WoW for free
That's why free Cata/MoP/WoD private servers are swarming with people right? Oh wait they are fucking ghost towns. People can play the current WoW for free but they choose not to.
>hurr durr you'll quit in two weeks
Nost had active accounts for well over a year and was growing. People were not quitting after a week, a month, or even a year. Do you have any other arguments I can shoot down?

There is zero reason to have Vanilla servers when they just shut down the #1 vanilla server on the market. Now the alternative for the addicted is to go to another private server (which they won't) or resub.

I am saying why they ignore petitions.
Publishers are huge assholes about it and I don't even know what they consider to be "demand" for something.
I do know that if people want Blizzard to do something then they should stop giving them money until then. This is something they do know.
A movement of people unsubscribing in large masses until demands are met will get a lot more done than a petition.
>>334957813

I'd put MoP right behind the other 3. If it had come out after wrath people wouldn't be treating it with as much disdain as they do
>>334957480
200k signatures of people who demand something for free is nothing compared to millions of people who pay for something current.

It's only been 2 years. Hell you can do the content right now
Man I love needing hit and expertise caps, 550 defense rating or else the boss does crushing blows, needing to spend a whole bunch of fucking time doing absolutely nothing but hitting low level mobs because weapon skills, taking months upon months to get a gear set for one raid so I don't blow up immediately in it, pets and mounts taking up bag space, and mounting up taking 3 seconds (unless you're a Paladin or Warlock because fuck you their mount is a spell and doesn't take up bag space)
What a great fucking waste of time.
>>334951576
All the things you mentioned were great about those classes. They were strengths that applied to more than just raids.
Rogues, the class I remember having the most fun in, were great because their autoattack was so strong it could outdo spell damage. It was perfectly balanced when combined with Kick.
My single best moment in all of WoW was when a Mage cornered me in Plaguelands and we did a 1v1 fight to the death right in the middle of the road. It felt great because every class had their gimmick that you had to overcome.

>200k signatures of people who demand something for free is nothing compared to millions of people who pay for something current.
not him, but be honest: There are not millions of people playing current-day WoW. Peak times is maybe 800K tops on all servers, and I'm being generous and using Cata numbers. If trends are correct, it's way lower now.
People just need to admit that WoW is dying. The old gimmicks aren't fun anymore and it's time to move to something new.
>200k sigs vs millions of subscribers for the main game
I'm sure they'll get right on it :^)
So when do you think vanillababbies are going to get bored with their cookie clicker mmo?
Sure you may take half a year to reach level 60 and full set, you make take another few months to steamroll BGs with your high end buddies, you may even be so desperate as to afk around the auctionhouse and goldshire just for people to see your set, but what will you do when your content goes away before the year is over, hmm? And I am even being very generous with my time approximations.
>>334958408
It had good raids and content patches that's all that counts for me.
>>334958317
A peition on it's own does nothing, but that's not all we have. The peition is just a consolidation of information gathered over the year in once place. The most common arguments against a vanilla server have been
>you wouldn't pay for it
>there's no demand for it
>people would quit in a week
Those arguments don't hold any real weight now.
>A movement of people unsubscribing in large masses until demands are met will get a lot more done than a petition.
Unsubscribing en masse has happened to Blizzard's game since Cata. The message hasn't been received that way it seems that many people do not like the current version of the game.

What they're really saying is they want to play WoW for Free. I guaranteed you if Nostralrius is a current patch private server, you will have same if not more than 150k people playing it.

Unless it's fucking Vanilla with updated graphics and (somehow) more content (basically WoW 2) then no, they wouldn't be able to pull this off.
>>334961314
That's literally what it is though. His job was important, I don't deny him that, but he is not a game design messiah. If you want to see him doing design work, look up Firefall.
>>334961212
Pretty much this.
Blizzard is made up of narcissists. If they cave in, they admit that the new game just isn't worth it to a sizable portion of the playerbase.
To be honest? I'd actually play on a Vanilla or TBC server for a bit, play through all the content, and then unsub. They're missing out on some money here.
>>334946218
>communicate properly without the VOIP tools
That part's bullshit, various clients like TS predate WoW.
>>334961293
Stop posting this garbage.
Free private wow servers running WoD are fucking empty just like retail.
>>334957648
Just because there is a handful of enthusiasts (yes, that's a handful), doesn't mean it's a good idea for players in general.
>>334939541
i'd be happy for any sign that billion-dollar corporations will bend to the demands of the consumer
but change.org is still a terrible and totally misused service
>>334939541
Did Blizzard actually say anything or are you just commemorating X number of signatures?
>>334961520
Besides the need to dedicate resources and staff towards Legacy servers, how would it take away from players playing on the current retail servers?
When has a petition ever done anything?
>>334961643
Well Mike Moorehaim just got out of a meeting where he yelled at the team leads about what the fuck he's paying them for if he can get 200k people to say they'd rather play the game they released a decade ago than the shit they're turning out. Source: I work at Blizzard.
>>334960538
Can you break down that time table for me? In 20 minutes you went from a tier 1 garrison to tier 3, constructed a shipyard and did all the required quests for the legendary quest line? That's pretty amazing.
>>334961896

>>334961434
From what I understand, his version of Firefall was more popular/financially successful, he just wanted to make a decent game and not cut corners, something that's blasphemy in modern game deving. I might be wrong though.
An anon tweeted the screencap of that forum MvP's post to Mark and Mark said something like "Well I'd show him the graph of my game being more popular".
>>334960847
It's not bugged out it's a private server which hasn't been set up to run properly
>>334961896
So basically they are commemorating nothing.
>>334961248
This, they don't give a shit about Nost anymore.
>>334961884
All petitions are good for is showing support for something. If enough support is shown, Blizzard may find legacy servers financially viable. That's what petitions can do.
>>334961452
>Blizzard is made up of narcissists.
Worse actually, almost nobody from vanilla wow/tbc works at blizzard, it would be admitting that the new devs are all incompetent fucks for them.
Which is true anyway.

Add in weak willed faggots that will pay money regardless of what Blizzard does and you don't have a strong showing.
>>334960270
that fucking music
literally goosebumps
>>334939541
signatures are worthless on this issue. The determining factor is are all of you peasantry private server pirates willing to pay for it? Majority of you wouldn't and the majority will lose interest quickly because of no new content updates.
vanilla cucks will never pay for these servers
>>334962256
Really? That is really sad but a part of me is happy that those people are off doing other things.
anyone hyped for warcraft the movie: the videogame?
>>334960270
This is pretty bad to be honest. That part focusing on the orc is 0% on point
There has to be a warcraft music that fits better than this or WUBWUB INCEPTION
>>334962342
You are pretty stupid then, same as them. The post is a complete mess, but you have to be pretty damn bad to not get it.
this threads are the best on /v/ right now
>>334962618
i'd pay 4.99 a month for a legacy server
>>334962618
I would.
>>334962861
you're going to pay at least 15 for it and I'm sure they will sell you vanilla again.
>>334941696
Wow raiding was only difficult because you had to micromanage 40 people.
I'd pay for vanilla only if it's pre battlegrounds
>>334962471
The only thing that would satisfy anti-nostfags on this point is if everyone who wanted to pay Blizzard for legacy servers were able to do so. That obviously isn't the case.
150k active players on a private server, 205k petition signatures in a week, all of the media hype from youtubers and journalism sites like the BBC, all of the Twitch streamers that pull in 15k-30k viewers regularly each all pledging to stream that content. Everything else that there is that's a massive show of support for this. It's all very significant and shows a clear demand for legacy servers from a large group of people.
Is Kronos good?

No, it's shit.

Its not the same account posted in the post and linked in the armory. Look at the achievement scores, the armory page was updated 4/10 and has 12495, the person who posted is from 4/20 and has less achievements.
>>334963137
kronos has had the same bugs since alpha weekend, take that any way you will
>>334962641
It's not actually true. Several of the original WoW designers have been moved to other Blizzard projects or promoted to the point where they aren't directly involved with specific design teams.
AFAIK Tom Chilton is still a designer for WoW though.
>>334963223
apart from buying characters from other players, how is kronos p2w?
>crying eyes nostcucks actually believe they will get legacy servers because they got a list of names on the internet
my fucking sides
>tfw all these threads that followed the nostalrius hype and fall made me want to resub and buy MoP and WoD
Give me one good reason not to
I need a time sink
>>334939541
Sounds like a bunch of people wants to travel back in time to 2004 and steer WoW in a different path. It's not going to happen, it's 2016, so move the fuck on. Even if they put out a legacy server, how fast can you get bored just playing a 2014 version of WoW. My guess is very fast. They're not going to redo the entire game, get over it.
>>334963504
y-you dont get it! >>334963110

WoD isn't a very good one. You'll get the most time wasted per dollar playing something like RS3/OSRS.
>>334963637
How can millions be less than 5k nostcucks? Get your head out of your ass

Get ready.
>>334963962
I would pay for it as long as there's a TBC server or the server eventually gets to TBC
>>334962425

But then the nostcucks will cry and make another petition
>>334964092
>eventually gets to TBC
trying to kill the fanbase again?
I want vanilla but only with the new models and textures, as well as the new stuff like looting all bodies at once.
>>334939541
The petition should really be. Stop making expacs for wow and instead make a new MMO, so people have something different to bitch about. The life extension for WoW has been going on for far too long, just let it die.
>>334964092
If wow ever stops releasing new expansions, Blizz will have no reason not to release progressive legacy servers.
They'll just have to "find" all of the old code that they "lost".
>>334964198
>trying to kill the fanbase with a more popular version of the game?
nostkeks
>>334964235
At this point WoW expansions are like Land Before Time sequels.
They aren't trying to win any awards, just milking the franchise for all its worth.
