Game in deathbed edition
If you dont know already, the server will be shut down in a few days
More info here: https://en.nostalrius.org/
There is no reason for the older threads have been deleted, as the game STILL ALIVE (for now)
One of the paragraphs of the announcement is:
>Today is also the day where Nostalrius will start being community-driven in the truest sense of the word, as we will be releasing the source code, and anonymized players data (encrypting personal account data), so the community as a whole will decide the form of the future of Nostalrius. We will still be there in the background if you want us to, but will no longer take the lead.
So there are a strong possibility of someone with balls picking the data up and hosting Nostarius 2.0 for us. Lets discuss mostly this specific information and enjoy the last few days of game.
Old but possibly useful info for the furute:

Is this what it felt like when SWG died?
Thanks for being there Nost.
You know, I wouldn't mind paying for retail if they could offer servers as populated as nostalrius was. If I'm playing an MMO the entire world shouldn't feel dead. I liked competition for quest mobs and items. I liked being able to group with people I'd be able to see walking around in the world. I liked
I keep thinking "Maybe I'll try Legion" and then I just wonder what the point would be.
>>137901350
>But since sending C&D letters is practically free, and they obviously know about all these servers, why not send them all the same shit? There seems to be some serious shit going on that the Nost crew isn't telling us.
makes a good point.
It seems highly unlikely that the server could run how the devs claim, 100% not-for-profit, but still be hit with a copyright claim and/or C&D.
Either that or the gold/account selling operations were getting way too big and thus gave Blizzard more cover to threaten real legal action.
>tell you niggers 1x servers are retarded due to the unstable nature of private servers
>noooo autism
>this happens
well done friends :^)
Made a huge group of friends over the year from all over the world. All gone.
Full T2/+BIS/ with enchants, 65 hours played
No friends because of social anxiety.
GF broke up with me two weeks ago
No reason to live.

Good by friends. I love you all.
>finally reach lvl 60 after months of constant grinding
>drop out of college for this semester so I can have time to gear up and raid

JUST
in all seriousness. what server will the playerbase migrate to?
>>137906417
>Is this what it felt like when SWG died?
Yes, pretty much, except that with SWG there were two deaths, one when they announced the NGE, and another when they actually shut it down. I was only around for the NGE one and it looked just like this.
>>137906579
>putting your life on hold for a video game
That's kind of your fault Anon
>>137906579
That's just fucking stupid.
>>137906490
It's impossible that Nostalrius was running on the same exact files/scripts as other servers of the kind.
Man, is this what it felt like when Warhammer online died?
Nost really proved that i love MMOs
And that no MMO has topped Vanilla/TBC WoW
I was thinking about joining Legion again after this, but then i realised that Blizzard-Activision don't deserve the money.
That and even the biggest EU servers are empty as fuck
>>137906605
I'm done with WoW and Blizzard in general. The Warcraft movie is the last purchase Blizzard will ever see from me. I hope they crash and burn.
>>137906791
If you really loved them you wouldn't be crying about a shitty WoW private server and would just go play another MMO.
>>137906741
This is what it felt like when I finally quit WoW after 8 years.
>>137906563
>65 hours played
That's some efficiency anon :^)
A couple years ago (during that "obama read your emails" situation), my country created a few very protectionist "internet law", like most internation services must have a local mirror servers, ISP providers need to go through some real fucking bureocracy to even reveal the owner of a server identity (and trust me, my country has year-long bureocracy bullshit).
The problem is that it would put too much power over the internet in the hands of a corrupt goverment, but that isnt the case.
I think it is pretty hard for an individual be sued here by blizz, much harder than europe, so i think it would be a possible good location for a new server.
There are 2 problems though:
Good servers (enough for 12k players) are fucking expensive hereIt is brazil.
Holy shit Bliz fucked up. I would imagine a considerable portion of the people who play on Nost play retail or were considering coming back to retail with legion. They've managed to alienate half a million people in one day on top of everything else they already have done
REMOVE BLIZZARD remove blizzard

Better be pacient, as i said there is a chance that someone will pick up the shards of Nost and remake it.

the past 2 months i've been using nost as some escapism time because my life is all fucked atm
i don't want to have to face thatguess i'll go play retail...
>>137907221
honestly I liked both. WoTLK was better than what came after because you could still roam the old world and feel the magic of vanilla.
I will forever remember the questline for veregian's fist. It will always be more legendary than the ashbringer for me.

0/10 see me after class. Even if it had introduced LFR there is literally nothing wrong with that
So what is wrong with Kronos exactly?
>>137907447
Oh weird. Im in Virginia and I got a consistent 150ms on nostalrius. Seems like brazil would be better but I guess not.
>>137907221
There is a difference between "crippling desease" and killed.
Later wotlk was a desease. Cata was a growing cancer, WoD is full blown cancer + super aids.
We wait to see what legion will be, now...

A fraction will actually buy Legion because they're dumb. Most will flock to other private servers. People like me are done with WoW and private servers.
I can only see myself playing Vanilla again when Blizzard launches official legacy servers 8 years from now.
You guys are fags
>>137907401
>Guild Wars
top kek
>>137907221
>Had the highest number of players, more varied raid encounters, better pvp balance (and spec viability), good questlines and good soundtrack
the only downsides to wotlk are downsides from tbc as well: catchup meme dungeons to let casuals gear up later in the expac, no real pvp community outside of dedicated forums because of xrealm BGs, flying mounts ruining the open world pvp and excessive dailies
WoTLK made WoW better than it ever had been and introduced lots of good features, the talent trees were still good, added new and great skills, unlike TBC where many classes got garbage even as end point talents or skills that should have been baseline (and later were made so)
wotlk also cleared up most of the shit abilities from TBC and made them good
>>137907686
>doesnt know what LFR really is
please, tell me. You're probably going to tell me that you get the best gear from LFR and that's all you need to do in this game
;_;
>>137907875
player pop peaked at 11 mill at cata launch senpai
i agree that wrath was best tho
Some of you guys are alright.
Don't go to Blizzcon this November.
This is the most depressed I've been in a long time. All that invested time. All those lvl 30-50 alts.
Like tears in the rain

Literally kill yourself if you think LFR is a replacement for actual raiding.

You're an idiot. Sub numbers were peak at the end of WotLK and the start of Cata. Logically, Cata was the beginning of WoW's end. Vanilla was okay. BC was better. WotLK was when WoW peaked.
The gear looked better.
The raids were better.
Leveling was better.
Death Knights were great.
I literally have 0 problems with WotLK. Vanilla and BC were a bit grindy, however.
>>137907996
Peaked at the end of Wotlk actually and fell down quickly after Cata release.
In the server's last moments, I got gud.
There's no guarantee that servers with the account/character data will ever be up again. I enjoyed lurking this general and wasting my time on Nost for 10 fucking months. I've met a couple of guys off here and they were always the less spergy ones. Now I've got a lot of video to edit.
I went out and got something to eat with a friend but I came back and remembered what's happening and now I'm upset again.
This is going to happen for a few days I fear.
>>137908150
how the fuck are you guys so misinformed? You do realize you actually have to form groups for raiding, right? Is there some propaganda school you privateserver fags go to where you learn this shit?

>After the massive blunder that was WoD, unless Legion is the second coming of MMORPGs, WoW is dead for sure.
Blizz will get desperate much sooner.
If Legion is as much as a failure like WoD (which we should know by the end of this year), they will create legacy servers mid 2017.
Also, there is the implication that they might be hunting nost down to create their own server already.
Some of you guys are alright, don't go to Blizzcon this year.

>still has an incredibly strong niche moneylaunderers
>>137909635
Wod on release was cool though. But hitting 100 and play for a week made you realize the game didn't have much to do. And patches after that didn't give a lot either.
Where are the remembering videos? i expect people to be making videos about this. with friends and shit doing something for the end days.

Starting a ~50 v 50 battle in Hillsbrad foothills by slaughtering all alliance in the yeti cave as a young level 35 warlock with friends two months after the server came up. Honorary mention to first full classic-style BRD clear since 2007, 8 hours of tanking and a hell of a nostalgia trip.
Blackwald/Mordrith here, it was fun guys. I've been gone for months due to life for the few of you who remember me, I literally came here to redownload the client when I saw the news.

Hell.
>>137909786
Same shit will happen with Legion.
You'll level your new demon hunter in less than a day and get bored because it'll be as homogenized as every other class past "WOAH DOUBLE JUMPING ISN'T THIS CLASS UNIQUE"
Class Halls are LITERALLY just garrisons with other players in them.
You'll still be forced to play Ashran for pvp gear.
There will still only be one Raid on release.
Every rep grind will be done through killing the same mobs over and over.
Blizzard will take another hot shit in your mouth, and you'll have coughed up 50 bucks for the pleasure.
>>137909675
yes, but so does wow. eve is undoubtedly going down

Same could be said about a lot of games, so WoW isn't a special case of having retards playing the game.
>>137910052
I'm not poor so it's not a problem. You make it seem like 60 bucks is a lifesaving

Your point is? Not the guy, but everyone doesn't have your taste in games. Someone probably would ask you the same thing why you pay money for shit game.
>>137910227
>lol poor!
Jesus christ dude, stop with the strawmanning. I'm not unsubbed from wow because its not worth my money, I'm unsubbed from wow because playing it isnt worth my time. WoD is absolute dog shit, and legion is taking some of the worst aspects of WOD (pruning, garrisons, 2 raid tierslol). Why would anyone want to spend time playing that?
>>137910341
i am thats why i play videogames in general
>>137910460
stop asking retarded questions. Why would anyone still play vanilla?
I can do this too and make up a lot more shit about vanilla than you can with retail

Garrisons won't be in legion other than in WoD as far as I know.
>>137910447
>Your point is? Not the guy, but everyone doesn't have your taste in games. Someone probably would ask you the same thing why you pay money for shit game.
except it wouldnt be the same as he has arguments like the game being too short, incomplete and shitty as classes are homogenized
>>137910009
Where? All new games I've played have hand holding, teleporting and all that shit out the ass.
>>137910591
No we'll have class halls instead, lmao
>>137910591
class halls are non-instanced garrisons
How much time did you sink into Nostalrius?
>>137910591
Class Halls will function as Garrisons.
It's literally the same shit but other players will be there so Blizzard can say they 'fixed' it.
>>137910591
>doesnt realize class halls are just garrisons 2.0
loling @ you
>>137910560
>why would anyone play vanilla
Because it is still an actual social MMO, and that makes it better than retail despite all the actual gameplay improvements retail has made in the last 9 years
>>137909746
probably another game
i never actually put that much time into the game
my highest lvl character was a lvl 28 shaman and a whole lot of alts
most of the time was probably spent on leveling my fishing and cooking

>>137910663
i want to go to hyjal ;_;
>>137910460
What is pruning?

no thanks im not a liar

WoTLK was good for sure, but it still did some things worse than its predecessors. The further you get from vanilla the less world pvp and the more class homogeneity, two things that were very important to me
>class halls are garrisons meme
yeah, like acherus is a garrison
>>137910785
Are you still salty?
>>137910716
nice argument anon
>>137910665
So Ironforge in vanilla wow was a garrison too? That sounds more just like a meeting hub. But I'm probably wrong.
Remember goyim to buy Legion releasing in Q4 2016. No content drought this time :^)
>>137910716
Thats not a buzzword at all you actual retard
>>137910591
:^)
>>137910775
Removal of abilities. Many classes in Legion have less abilities than classes had in vanilla. Many classes have periods of ~40 levels where they dont learn a single new ability or talent.
>>137910716
>buzzword
buzzword
>>137910775
Classes having skills taken away because they're 'anti-fun.'
It's why every class feels the fucking same in retail now.
I've never been as angry as I was when they removed Symbiosis pre-WoD.
>>137910835
Well no
my whole goal on being on nostalrius was to relive the memories i had when i was playing wow and I did that. I am really happy i got to enjoy it with those guys and they were pretty cool imop familia
>>137910881
yeah, as if vanilla isn't just a contentless game. What the fuck else do you do but raiding? Everyone who played vanilla already played it. Dont tell me you fags are wrathbabbies turned hipsters and think vanilla is oh so great?
i rarely post on here but i just wanted to say that i REALLY loved lurking in here and seeing all of the memes / drama you guys would create. God bless you all, i'm going to wait until another server comes out and hopefully we will all meet there again. Good crafting, my friends.
Rip my main, along with 20k+ worth of gold / items.

In and of itself I don't think pruning is some great evil. Hunters in MoP in particular suffered from ability bloat. The key problem is they remove iconic and fun abilities like overpower and replace them with fucking nothing.
I ran into this group of people suicide walking to Thunder Bluff and some ally joined in. Good way to end for us. You guys doing anything to remember the good times? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf7K-rEh758
>>137910879
You are.
Class Halls will have followers, follower missions, and resources just like Garrisons,.
The only difference is that there will be other (5-10) players around now instead of souless NPC guards.
Whoop de fucking do.
>>137911015
>guys the 12k players you've seen on Nostalrius daily weren't actually there!
At least wait a month before starting your misinformation campaign
>>137911080
It's at least an improvement. Garrison in WoD made the game really fucking lonely.
Since it's now official that blizzardcucks will actively close private servers, I'm afraid to invest time on any of them...
FUCK YOU
FUCK
FU
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK
>>137911058
So long and thanks for all the fish.
What I want to know is why nobody can make another MMO like classic Wow with either A. Going full F2P Jew to win, or B. turn it into modern wow themepark shit.
Take for example Archeage. There was potential but then trion went full Jew.
>>137911138
>12k players
am I supposed to be impressed?
>>137910929
I remember what was I think their first big ability prune, when Hunters lost Eyes of the Beast.
Such a simple ability, didn't give any real advantage or anything, just fun to fuck around with and run around as your pet instead for a change.
Removed. Because classes were becoming too "bloated" with abilities. This was also around the time that a Fury warrior rotation could be done with 4 buttons, literally playable on a console if they wanted to take it that direction.
I just can't believe that there are people still working at ATVI who think they're still putting out a quality product.
>>137911015
You didn't blow threw vanilla content in a couple of months and leveling a new character was actually fun and not seen as a chore that should be dealt with as quickly as possible
>>137911157
No it isn't.
They removed the invasions that were at least interesting, and would have been even better with ACTUAL PLAYERS.
They should have scrapped the fucking thing entirely, but it's a Facebook-game style skinnerbox that keeps players logging in for rewards.
>>137911180
Interesting enough the only MMO i've had fun playing that wasn't WoW was a Trion game but wasn't Archeage
>>137911230
>content in a couple of months
only because it was a new game
>actually fun and not seen as a chore
lel.
Btw, I played vanilla. I raided everything except naxx. Rank 10 in pvp. I think I know what I'm talking about
It's time to move on
>>137911275
I know that the game has problem. I still enjoy it though, even if it's considered shit taste.
>>137911335
Was that Rift before Trion went full Jew?
>>137911180
Because dev companies are generally run by people who don't give a shit, but see what other games can get away with ($30 armor) and try it themselves.
Rest in peace you beautiful bastards. Lots of good times were had.
>>137911339
You do realize Nost was a progression server and was going to be in TBC sometime in 2017?
Kill yourself.
>>137911218
>4 buttons
you are now aware thats the standard for non cooldowns on every class.
you are now aware that DPS demon hunters have a literal 3 button rotation, with a talent option to reduce it down to 2 (one of which has a 45 second CD)
You are now aware that DPS demon hunters have less than 20 buttons to press total, if they opt for every active talent
>>137910024
>>137910440
>Start playing Nostalrius as a way to kill time until Dark Souls 3 is released
>End up having so much fun with nost that I was ready to pass on buying DS3
>This happens
Oh shit I'm feeling it
>>137911339
My man, you need to literally, and I mean this with no memes or jokes intended, literally kill yourself.
>>137911445
so it would inevitably be a shit game according to you guys. lel, just lel. Thanks for telling me
>>137911417
Good on you.
Most of us have nothing again retail or it's players- we recognize it's a different game and it's no longer for us.
Now if only Blizzard could let us enjoy the game we love instead of trying to pigeonhole us into playing what it is now.
>>137911470
I miss you Pulsar
t. Asscobra
>>137911446
pls stop ;_;
>>137911559
Can't play it with this computer though. So I have to wait until I move home. Nostalrius was the only mmo private server I could play.
>>137911559
>most of us have nothing against retail or its players
speak for your fucking self. Every single person still playing retail is supporting and encouraging the kind of design decisions that not only ruined a great game, but an entire genre.
>>137911449
See you in game, friend. Now that I think about it, because of the weird release schedule of das3 theres gonna be a shit ton of twinks ready to go once it launches in NA, it'll be a bit like leveling on the pvp server. So that might be fun.
>>137911418
Yes, it had a shitload of potential but they fucked up bad somehow
>>137911576
I just couldn't enjoy wotlk, it was all new to me, and going from 12k to 200 pop wasn't something I could handle. Maybe on corecraft family, if we refuse to grow up by then
>>137911645
I feel you, my raid group had to go make coffee whenever we did SoO because it took my toaster so long to load in.
I'm upgrading now that I've got the dosh, but no way in Hell I'm going back to retail.My raid guild disbanded and came to Nost with me, don't know where we're going now.
>>137911070
fuck man. all this time wasted. is it wasted though if i had fun on the journey?
>>137911443
>ereka quits guild to raid bwl again
>misses out on the last week of DiF
>misses out of DiF's last 3 raids, Ony, MC, ZG
Do you regret it?
>mfw all those chinks with no idea what's happening suddenly can't login
>>137911758
I tell you what happened. Trion took the Free to Play Route but instead of learning from what other companies were doing at the time. They just went full retard and then took away everything that made rift fun so people would pay.
Honestly it's basically gone the way of Perfect World Entertainment and that's a damn shame.
>>137911802
How the fuck can I trust Corecraft at this point. If it gets too big or popular it will incur the wrath of blizzard all the same.
I know Sweden != France but still, what's to stop them from threatening a couple Swedes with a lawsuit?
All right all right, you guys are obviously stubborn. But let me ask you this, what would it take for you to return to retail?
>>137911758
RIFT was a lot of fun. Easily the most fun I've had in an MMO since WoW, especially the PvP that wasn't the absolute slugfest 10minute 1v1 that WoW PvP had become by that same point in time.
Really, at least when it was first implemented, I didn't feel like the ingame store was that harmful. You still needed to work for the best stuff, though I haven't been on it in well over a year so not sure how it is these days.
>>137910663
Top has nice UI, you ally scum
>>137911917
Didn't Trion fuck up Aion Online too?
Those motherfuckers.
>>137911969
Legacy servers
>>137911861
can they get revenge on blizzard?
>>137911969
Legacy servers.
>>137911969
Legacy servers for every expansion.
>>137911802
You should try Playtbc then. Pretty sure most of the boyz are gonna roll just to check it out and we'd love to have our favorite Serb around again.
>>137911969
Legacy servers.
I think there's a GM in TB right now
Anyone got a side account they don't use that I can login with for the end days?
The server won't recognize my account because I haven't been on since November, and the only way to fix it is by password reset, but the site services are down (permanently I guess). I would like to revisit the world one last time and witness the reckoning with my fellow champions.
>>137911969
legacy servers with absolutely no "quality of life" improvements like level 60 boosts.
That's my biggest fear of an official vanilla server, the bullshit blizzard will do to it to squeeze more money out
>>137912094
https://www.reddit.com/r/wowservers/comments/4d0uss/reviewing_the_playtbc_beta_experience/
Playtbc looks like shit.
>>137911975
The class system was incredibly fun and actually unique as were the Rifts
>>137911969
legacy servers
>>137911969
Legacy servers, no bullshit.
>>137912206
nothing. only legacy server
>>137911969
Legacy servers for all expansions and they ability to transfer a character forward (so that guilds can move progressively through Vanilla -> BC -> WOTLK, etc).
>>137912206
make levelling not shit again
so
legacy servers
it was fun guys. i'll miss you
So we're all going to project 1999 right?please say yes
>>137912206
an expansion that has more than two patches and an active community
>>137912206
nothing else
Please convince me not to play on playtbc next week
I dont think i can stop myself
>>137912206
Every single Blizzard employee to commit ritual suicide at Blizzcon this year and hand development over to people who actually play video games and don't bend over backwards for SJW crocodile tears.
They'll probably implement legacy servers because it's the smart thing to do.
