Open Letter to Blizzard Entertainment from Mark Kern

[Desparil]

Wait, so someone could check yes and play on both

Yes

but someone who wants a classic server would split the population and would either have tho choose which one to play on

Yes if they chose only one to play on.

Difference is that with pristine it would be included in normal sub since it costs next to nothing to implement while with classic nost like server you would most likely have to pay extra sub since it would be expensive to make it(blizzard words)...... meaning that many people would have to chose 1 version of game to play meaning fragmentation of player base.

Add to that pure bc/wotlk servers and now we have 4 groups playing different versions of game leading to further splitting.

You are contradicting your own arguments.

Thats not contradictory.

For the sanity of us all, please stop engaging him. If no one feeds him, he'll go away.

[Borigrad]

Congratulations?

For a normal person this isn't true though unless you have some disorder. The human body doesn't actually start to die till somewhere in the 30s. For example, cells die everyday, but the actual decline of cells starts in the 30s. Therefore the average person doesn't technically start dying till they are in their 30s.

You must be fun at parties.

No I wont. I'm waiting for you to post something to actually support your views though.

This is the guy who got kicked out from the very own company he started ? I'm totally going to take him srsly...

Infracted

Not true, there is a market for those games, but to contradict your post first. There is no game out there like classic WoW. Second, the market is typically more to appeal to a very casual audience with something like micro-transactions, not that the audience you are portraying wouldn't make any money. Third, https://pantheonmmo.com/ disagrees with you that no one wants it.

You didn't contradict my post, you proved it. Hardcore "classic" mmo's have been developed and launched in the last decade. Almost all have gone under, or are whimpering by due COMPLETELY to the lack of a paying audience for it.

And well... saying that only casual players want to play hardcore mmos is a humorous mashup, imo.

[Ilir]

This is becoming ridiculous lmao

[Glaziola]

So many salty people in this thread, it's always good to see people fighting for what they want. Hope we get those legacy servers. Personally I dont see myself playing on those a lot, but when the current expansion has a 14 months lack of new content it might be something fun to enjoy.

[Deleted]

it is making a bit of a stir, and it could be seen as censorship or not wanting to assist in the spread. deny the virality?

so its linked on mooc but not on wowhead (goota love people with balls) but only mmoc is denyin it the virality....oh nvm I forgot you guys dont do logic nor reason....

Shhh shh shh.. Just leave him be. You won't get anywhere with this, just focus on actual proper discussion.

All of this will have a a very negative effect on World of Warcraft.

The nostalgists influencing game design.

I will buy a lot of popcorn the next months and watch if the devs manage the situation.

14 months lack of new content while finding a server that will provide 0 new content ever again being something fun to enjoy.. *boggle*

At this point I'd like them to make a vanilla server too just to see it fail and people can quiet down, let the 2000 or so players who still want that to stay in that server and stop flooding the forums.

Every single nos guy and rest will resub with legion. No problem - so on what base do you argue?

Proof for that? oh right you cant cause we got enough angry "I canceled my pre-order"-threads on the bnet forum.

What's the alternative? The guy who created the release version of Diablo 3 working on WoW now? Like that's anything better.

WoW will be fine.

So in the time you dont get new content you want to play even OLDER content?

[Flurryfang]

I really just loved the nudge at the Buttgate# thing, broke me up xD But i am happy, that he made this. It shows some support from even the old development group

in what way could it be seen as censorship.

You're vastly underestimating the desire for Vanilla servers.
