Ex-World of Warcraft dev Mark Kern explains why Blizzard open vanilla servers

[Lasombria]

Yes i saw some of the despicable comments the "Fine and upstanding Vanilla Community" gave to TradeChat after that Video. I dont care if she was wrong or if she had different opinions then those guys you dont fucking threaten people over opinions on Videogames. If that is the Community Mark is part of i dont want anything to do with it because then we all know what type of people they are.

Fortunately, no actually existing classic server community is going to have much to do with Kern or his posse. They're using the topic as a prop for all their usual rants and abuse-delivering thrills. But it's still awful crap, and he's not a person to cite as an authority for anything desirable.

Closing this for a number of reasons:

1. The article quoted is a year-and-a-half old so that's misleading.

2. Most of the latter part of the thread has been devoted to bashing/praising Mark Kern. That's not the game and this forum is not here to be bashing on people per se.

The end result is there's not really anything here to discuss that can't be discussed in many other threads. So, go, my friends. Go and discuss.
