Classic World of Warcraft Discussion [Megathread]

[cFortyfive]

Well, here you get, (just to throw out a random high number) 90% of the work for free.

Ever thought they didn't want that "great free work" associated with their brand ? I really don't understand why it's so hard to wrap their head around the fact they simply decided for the time being they didn't want legacy servers.

Mark Kern is talking about Nostalrius...in a positive way

Not someone you want on your side imo

And your point? He left Blizzard a Decade(!) ago and got nothing done since.

[Kyanion]

It's so hard and costly they added it to Diablo II, Warcraft III and Starcraft recently. I'm sure these three games put much more money in than a few tens of thousands sub... oh, maybe not

Oh damn by that logic we could have expected classic servers years ago! Oh wait...where are they? Ooops.

If we have to accept your take on the subject, as someone who never(!) worked for Blizzard and doesn't exactly know how they operate\used to operate, I'm sure we are also able to accept that someone like that has an opinion on the matter too.

He was part of the team created the MMO that changed the history of MMOs...surely he has done much more than you and me

Not someone you want on your side imo

May I ask why?

[Kyanion]

Yeah and he's done some really weird shit since he left Blizz too.

To be honest I am not sure that having some whose last endorsements include those for Donald Trump and Gamergate supporting your cause is in anyway desirable.

I dunno maybe it is. He was against copyright protections and other stuff. So hey lead them to the promised land! Lol

Still I am not carrying a grudge against Blizzard and claim a better option would have been to hire criminals instead of sending a c&d

[Aggrophobic]

I just read about his history. We should all tweet him back advising him to take over the Nostralius project himself giving it a bright, fiery future.

That'll be a "fine" way of killing off any intrest in the project, for sure.

In his $3million bus?

Well that is one way to make sure you don't get what you want.

Considering the many former Nost players that have talked about issues on Nost with the coding I think I can discuss it well enough. Blizz wouldn't take that shoddy emulator work.

Personally I played there for 6 months and encountered 4 bugs. I wont call that bad, but who am I to judge? The biggest problem was the high population as it slowed down the game at peak times. You had to pick your time during the day to play .

yeah Mark Kern + Nost = fucking perfect match

[Kakera]

It's actually rather funny to me that Blizzard shits on your nostalgia losers. Grow up and move on.

I liked their community server was nice everyone helped each other unlike the toxic people on live retail.

It's actually more than Nostalgia. That seems to be the only argument of why you think people enjoyed this server. Also, It's ironic calling someone a loser over the internet and telling them they're the one who needs to grow up. Lmao

Its because you are WRONG. Runescape is FREE to play.

Oh sure. Then when I go on their website, I get:

You can play Classic if you have RuneScape Membership and you have previously played Classic.

And then when I go on their membership page, one-month membership is 9,99$ US. Yep, the very incarnation of free!
