I don't care about WoW but if bethesda will keep making games like Doom and Wolfenstein:TNO and will make a sequel/rebbot to Quake, valve might actually do Half-Life 3.
>>
They're not going to release legacy servers, you know. They're going to release WoW Classic TM as a test run using the data Nostalrius gives them. It's going to be a rushed, incoherent mess of features and lack there of set in old Azeroth, if they can even be bothered to figure out how to restore it and they don't just say "lol 60 cap in World of Memes post cataclysm".

Making Half Life 3 or better yet a new Source Engine is just a waste of resources at this point. Steam and TF2 makes them more than enough money.

Yes, I'm fully expecting them to make it so you need the latest expansion to play Legacy if they ever release them, it makes by far the most sense for Blizz financially.

Also you could do the hard mode in a few hours anyway wouldn't take much effort.

Seems to be the autists that dont play vanilla throw more of a shit than anyone. Most people who want Vanilla don't mind upgraded graphics or QoL changes or bugfixes because they aren't stupid.

Because they're not going to release legacy servers. Even the private servers out there now aren't true to what the original game was. You've got J. Allan Brack pulling for "you think you do, but you don't", Mark Kern riding the wave of "We totally do", and the nost team running market research so they can figure out what the fuck people actually want out of this whole thing.

What we're going to get ranges from "everything you asked for" to "you get nothing!", with a hefty chance of "we didn't ask for this" in the middle. Now if I'm wrong, happy day, hallelujah, we get legacy. If I'm right, we continue the downward spiral. I hope I'm wrong, but we'll see.

Either way would Blizzard be expecting everybody who signed the petition to actually pay the subscription? I'll be completely honest, I just play on private WoW servers because they're free.

Never played WoW before. I feel like I missed out on the bigger population and camaraderie of days past and it wouldn't be worth it anymore. Is there still a decent social aspect to the game?

And then this faggot >>337824386 starts talking shit about Vanilla for absolutely no reason. Nowhere before this reply was anything bad said or balance mentioned.

Guys, I'm all for vanilla progression servers but this is an announcement about something that may happen in the future and it might not even be related to vanilla servers.

This could be a lure to serve them a notice, it could be to offer them jobs or it could be a simple way to give them a tour and some merch and then send them on their way so they can say that they gave them a chance to pitch vanilla servers.

This isn't a win.

It was a loaded question. And yes, the answer is Vanilla was unbalanced, just like 95% of the time in WoW's history.

Actually, they do. Once they began trying to structure everything so that every person could earn a participation medal, everything went to shit.

They began the game with a world that people wanted to be in, and didnt really try to control much about it.

Now its all about ensuring 50% W/L in PVP and making sure everyone can see the final boss, as well as creating bullshit limited time content.

Blizzard's first draft was them trying to quell the flames by providing some harebrained quickfix solution, they never said anything about actually following through with pristine servers, they threw the idea to the wind to see if it would fly.

>3+ million

Gonna ask for a source there, chief.

Blizzard isn't releasing sub numbers anymore, which means it clearly must have gone much lower than the last recorded number... which was just above 5 million...

And that was right after they released fucking patch

>No you didn't

>Actually, they do. Once they began trying to structure everything so that every person could earn a participation medal, everything went to shit.
>They began the game with a world that people wanted to be in, and didnt really try to control much about it.
>Now its all about ensuring 50% W/L in PVP and making sure everyone can see the final boss, as well as creating bullshit limited time content.

This is what the people who couldn't do the content wanted. You remember them talking about how only like 10% of the playerbase even entered Naxx pre TBC? That's because nobody except the elite people were capable of getting 40 people together to get coordinated and actually do it. There was bitching on the forums constantly about how the content was too difficult for the average person to do, and now we've come full circle and all that shit will probably happen again, assuming people are dumb enough to buy into the idea of a vanilla server again in the first place.

When you couple that with the fact that vanilla WoW was an unbalanced buggy mess people aren't going to stick around.
>>
>>337828015
They have a lot more than they would have otherwise. Look at ToR. Went from DOA to one of the most successful MMOs out there by going f2p. Same with Rift. I haven't looked into wildstar but I'm sure its much healthier now.

>>337827729
You are deluding yourself if you think blizzard is willing to just slap nostalrius servers into their game.

They are embarrassed that they took the wrong stance publicly, the are embarrassed that their current content is the least entertaining it has ever been and they are embarrassed that some people who took their vanilla code and slapped together some scripting gained massive popularity while they lost popularity and money.

Also keep in mind there is no good time to release vanilla servers (even well crafted progression servers that tie in with each expansion) because it will either interfere with projected sales of the next expansion if released too late and distract from new content if released too early. Either way its a net loss.

They'll make it so you need the latest expac to play and that will bundle Legacy and Retail players into a nice round number. No idea why you'd make out they're gunna be making a loss from it.

Most people that play now or even have played for years aren't the kind of people that would sub just for vanilla servers.

Though I admit it would probably be a strong business move for Blizzard to add Vanilla servers right around Legion launch to double up on reasons for people to resub.

It was part of the adventure. Often you'd run into PvP on the way to instances which made getting there a reward in itself.
