RETAILCUCKS BTFO

Legacy servers are confirmed.

Mark Kern just concluded his meeting with Blizzard on the topic of legacy servers. They had the source code all along. They're currently waiting to meet with the Nostalrius team in the coming weeks to gain insight on how they managed to get their server running.

So now that that's all out of the way and we know for certain that we'll be playing on official legacy servers in the coming months, what race/class/spec will you be maining? Favorite zone/city? Favorite dungeon/raid?

let it go

post link with new relevant info or fuck off. Nobody cares about his shitty twitter bullshit

You realize this level of delusion is pathetic right

>assmad retailcucks pissed about their facebook games and $25 mounts no longer being relevant

>no expansion until August
>blizz shuts down Nost and hints at vanilla servers
>proceeds to tease fans for months
>legion launches and everyone forgets

Not 'assmad' or whatever memes you children want to spout I was just asking for relevant info. Clearly you have nothing So Ill leave the thread as its obviously just your personal shitposting thread


Be better OP

The twitter contains all new relevant information you retard.

Sounds like it went pretty well honestly. I fucking knew they had the source code still the little snakes.

>twitter has no actual info
>this is all the info I have

Sounds like youre the one assmad and BTFO then because there is no conformation htere at all...


Sucks to be a poor nigger then I guess
Enjoy your shit thread

Level to about 20, frost mage, hang out in barrenschat forever

>you children
m'lady

>Blizzard is listening intently
>They're up to date on the community's thoughts and the entire situation
>They have the original source code despite their lies
>They're meeting with the Nostalrius team soon to discuss the technical aspects of setting up legacy servers

That's a lot of relevant information, and it's all on the twitter feed. It doesn't surprise me that a retailcuck is illiterate though.

The fact that these are tweets and what he discloses in the tweets is controlled by a Non-disclosure agreement. We are only hearing what blizz wants us to hear, there is no confirmation anywhere in those tweets.

funny you post FLCL since they recently announced a reboot of that as well

Your lack of punctuation tells me that you are probably retarded.

>That obvious leash leading
>people don't remember that blizzard did this fucking shit with official support for DOTA for years before Valve picked it up making Blizzard shit themselves

Valve won't save you this time fuckers.

Also Blizzard just began nerfing leveling progression in WoW and shilling their $60 level boost harder, they don't give a shit about what the community wants.

Problem was never about them having or losing source code. It's fucking blizzard, they can't just roll out old 2004 game with shitty netcode and buggy stuff.
And merging new stuff with old stuff is actually might be too expensive to just please some nostalgic fucks.

>there is no confirmation anywhere in those tweets

Yeah no shit, nobody was expecting them to announce Legacy servers via Mark Kern's twitter. It still sounds very promising though, I'm excited to see what comes out of their meeting with the Nostalrius guys.

thats just bullshit theyre saying to not seem like the true blizzard they are

LET IT GO

Holy shit really?

>Problem was never about them having or losing source code.
You serious nigger? That exact reason was cited by Blizzard themselves for years. It was also parroted by retard blizzdrones relentlessly for years and years up until today.

All they did was have Mark Kern, repeat the same thing blizz had already told us themselves. "Its not as easy as it sounds". We just heard it from his mouth is the only thing that changed. This is just some gay attempt to pacify the masses before a multimillion dollar game release that could be affected by bad publicity.

>some nostalgic fucks.
I find it funny that Nostalrius had more active players than some modern retail MMOs. What a strange perspective

>Problem was never about them having or losing source code

Actually that was probably the biggest problem with them doing Legacy servers. If they genuinely had lost the source code it really would be a LOT of work having to recode basically everything.

No need to worry about that any more though :)

>Please blizz Ill be a good goy

We all you you want blizz to fuck your ass with vanilla servers for the low cost of a $130 one off payment and $15 a month for the rest of your miserable existence. You dont need to keep reminding us daily

Dont forget to buy legion :^)

It's way easier to feed you with bullshit excuses than do risky moves. :^)

>They have the original source code despite their lies
They've never said they've lost it, it was a rumor. They were and keep saying that it's technically hard to make a server. Kern is literally parroting what they've been saying since April

en.rocketnews24.com/2016/03/25/hit-anime-flcl-getting-sequel-series-15-years-after-its-last-episode-in-u-s-japan-co-production/

I assumed that was intentional as a shitpost?!?

source code is only half the problem when you work on windows environment. I have old code from 10 year ago that won't work anymore because of all the obsolete DLL and layers of windows update that made it impossible to compile without fucking archeology to find the old files.

>what race/class/spec will you be maining?
none because never again

ok

>They've never said they've lost it, it was a rumor
I can't find an official quote on it. It's fucking crazy because "they lost the code" was a reason cited by countless retards every time the idea has been brought up for fucking years. Were they all just talking shit out of their asshole this entire time?

pretty sure a blue literally said it

they maintain a 14 year old game and still support XP, i think they can handle it

why are nostalgia fags such obnoxious cucks
it's really funny how the goto term used to call out everyone who disagrees changed from "blizzdrone" to "retailfag"
I guess blizzard cock tastes like candy!

Overwatch made Sup Forums love blizz again.
Vanillafags are truly as cancerous as the modern WoW community, they just don't realize it.

Considering how disappointing Legion sounds with each update, it's nice to see something going right for a change. Still, no hype until official Blizzard announcement that it's a confirmed thing that's actually happening.

Serious question, not trying to start shit:

Why is everyone so up in arms about playing a shitty vanilla 12-year old MMO even more? It's twelve fucking years old.

Nost dev said their server cost them 700 dollars a month and it hosted up to 16k people at the same time.
How much does blizzard even spend in hardware hosting wow server? 5k a month? That's close to nothing.

The only obnoxious one here is you stupid faggots that come into threads about subjects you hate, bump the thread and talk out of your fucking ass.

Inorite?? I mean, nobody plays games made before 2010! xD

You're a fucking retard, shut the fuck up.

It's fine if you don't like a game but why would the age of the game matter?
Are pre ps3 games all trash according to you?
People are still playing vanilla everquest from 1999

You do realize you will have to pay a sub fee right

Nostalgia is hella of a drug man.

The state of the MMORPG genre has people pretty desperate for a decent one (which Vanilla WoW was). The people who have been wanting a Vanilla realm for years have been ignored and poked and shit upon by both Blizzard and shitposters/retailcucks for years now. Getting some vindication on the matter feels good.

Because it was free

The only old games worth playing were, you know, GOOD GAMES. This is fucking vanilla WoW.

I suppose that's the best answer possible, thanks.

Vanilla was never good, don't you remember everyone calling it a shitty, casual EQ clone?

Nostalgia isn't real though, vanilla is a time consuming game and no one would have 80 days /played like most people on nost, a one year old server because of nostalgia
Why do you think there's no private server for mop or cata?
Because it's shit and nostalgia doesn't keep people on servers

>Le nostalgia meme

How many times do you have to hear testimonies of people who played and enjoyed Nost a couple of months ago before you get it into your peabrain that the gameplay is simply better in older iterations of WoW than it is nowadays.

>I don't like Vanilla WoW so nobody can!

Dude, shut up.

Oh no I'll have to pay $15 whole dollars per month to play a video game! I might even have to spend $50 on Legion. What will I ever do?

Yes, they were talking out their ass.

The thing that's hard to explain is that there isn't some server software that equates to every version of a WoW that was ever live. Everyone running their own is basically emulating a lot of functions with other shit being broken.

But yes, people saying a software company lost the source code were fucking idiots. At worst it was inaccessable for a time be because it was archived.

...

>giving money to blizzard

I don't think the guy who's so fucking hipster he's campaigning to pay Blizz for a 12-year-old mediocre game gets to tip any fedoras.

Go complain about that in the 20 Overwatch threads up right now, my man. Pretty sure that outweighs the guys on this board that want Legacy.

Because video games are fun, and the funnest version is the one you remember. Although if you want to go deeper, it's like the human campaign of Warcraft 3 stopped running one day unless you ran a pirated version that only mostly worked

>Why do you think there's no private server for mop or cata?
there are, since you don't know about warmane obviously you have no idea what you're talking about, retard

>Game with 9m subs
>Hipster

I don't think you know what that word means.

Nostalgia is definitely real bro.
I accept that vanilla WoW is better than current shitty retail WoW. Doesn't mean I want to go back to game where I literally have to have no life. The game changed for the better throughout the expacs for a good reason. Only disgusting NEETS/underages have the time for vanilla WoW.
Some people can ignore that and find a good game. I can't since I want to do things outside of vidya lol. Plus I rather grind execution/techskill in melee/fighting games than play an MMO. Atleast I get to met real people in fighting game tournies.

Of course there are but 95% of the private server pop is on vanilla, tbc or wotlk you mongoloid cocksucker, mop and cata are irrelevant
Warmane pop atm : Wotlk 10k, mop+cata 1,8k
And those are some of the only post wotlk servers avaible

Sorry that Vanilla WoW was too hardcore for you buddy. Have fun playing WoD or Legion or whatever other casual shit you're interested in.

>Only disgusting NEETS/underages have the time for vanilla WoW.

That's weird because a lot of my Nost guild had a wife and kids.

Just because you personally can't fit WoW into your oh so busy schedule doesn't mean nobody else can.

fuck 'video games', especially vanilla WoW

Nost didn't even get to AQ40 user come on.
You act like MC is uber fucking hard.

Can't wait for this to fail and close

>Oh boy I got to play Nostalrius for free, surely Blizzard will do the same

You're going to be oh so wrong

>Doesn't mean I want to go back to game where I literally HAVE to have no life!
>I m-m-mean no life sometimes, only when certain content is released m-maybe!
Get your shit together faggot.

Every semi-serious guild was still raiding at least 3 times a week for 3-4 hours.

>I c-c-can't wait for this to fail!
>every knows p-p-people only play for free!
>n-nobody is going to p-pay for Vanilla servers!

>i don't want to play video games but make me a video game

you sound fucking retarded. making games that cater to casual players leads to shitty games. it's all just bells and whistles no fucking meat on the bones. I had a little bit of fun when I came back to WoD looking at all the toys and stuff and messing around with Darkmoon Faire but then I tried to do the raids you know, the ACTUAL FUCKING CONTENT OF THE GAME it was bland as fucking shit.

Exactly who the fuck have you been listening to that expects it to be free? Show me these people.

>Blizzard is listening intently
>They're up to date on the community's thoughts and the entire situation

If that were true then wouldn't Live not be shit?

Any shit guild was able to clear MC in sub 2 hours and the third day was only for ZG which most guilds didn't even need after a few months
10 hours a week isn't much anyway considering wow is entertainment.
If you don't enjoy raiding there is no point doing it.

>Argues you need no life to raid in Vanilla
>Is now arguing that raiding doesn't take long

?

The collage of blizzcuck posts like this one when vanilla servers are announced is going to be fucking great

I wish moot's chinese cousin would raise the file size cap temporarily so we could put like a 100kx100k px golden face behind it all

but it doesn't take long

They actually just this week hotfixed some stuff to make the game harder at lower levels and LFD spam leveling less viable.

you're projecting so fucking hard dude i went up 3 replies and he said nothing about having no life
in-fact he said the opposite where there's wives and kids playing the game

IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR BROS

I'VE PAID FOR EVERY SINGLE MOUNT AND PET FROM THE CASH STORE SINCE 2011. I'VE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER SINCE CATACLYSM AND THIS IS HOW THEY TREAT US!?VANILLA WAS FUCKING SHIT! NOBODY WILL ACTUALLY PAY TO PLAY THIS 12 YEAR OLD GAME. IT WAS FULL OF BUGS AND RET PALADINS WERE TERRIBLE. YOU HAD TO GEAR FOR HIT AND EXPERTISE AND THERE WASN'T EVEN A QUEUE FOR RAID FEATURE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HOW THEY'RE REPAYING US FOR OUR YEARS OF SUBSCRIPTION FEES. MY FEMALE DRAENEI WAIFU THAT I WORKED SO HARD ON TO MAKE BEAUTIFUL WITH $24.99 COSMETICS AND TRANSMOGS IS ALL FOR NOTHING! FUCK BLIZZARD AND FUCK NOSTALGIA FAGGOT KEKS!

I didn't say I wanted to play a game for casuals. I just didn't want to go through the grind that is Vanilla WoW.

Get some reading comprehension faggot, ^They're both me.

tryhard guilds would be doing 1-2 BWLs, at least 1 MC and Ony, and some optional ZGs

that's literally you

you're fucking retarded

>Seriously still trying to smear Mark Kern

He's already had the meeting, his reputation doesn't mean anything now. Not that it did before either.

His "original vision" changed weekly which is what killed the game and company when he was CEO

its ok Now they will charge you $130 and $15 a month to play vanilla

Dont forget to buy legion

>$130
>He's so fucking retarded he doesn't realise all expansions are bundled now and have been for years

>His "original vision" changed weekly
According to that random retard that authored that reddit post? The same retard who was confirmed to be a SJW attempting to smear and slander Kern for being supportive of GG? yeah nah.

I can understand that but it's all about how you want to play the game.
Playing on nost it took me two months of slow questing to get to 60, I could have grinded 12 hours a day for a week but the problem is that you're focusing on endgame.
Leveling itself is gameplay and should be enjoyable.
The hardship of farming mats for raids is greatly exagerated, you can easily get all you need for pre AQ in an hour every week.

YEAH YOU TELL THAT FAGGOT NOSTKEK! HE HAS TO PAY MONEY TO BLIZZARD! HAHA! WHAT A FUCKING LOSER!

Blizzard are huge jews but at least they're smart jews. Some group is stepping on their intellectual property rights, they stop them, but then they meet them to figure out what they were doing and hopefully profit from that? Sounds like the right way to handle business.

As someone who spent a lot of time on vanilla, why the fuck would you want to go back? Do you really want vanilla WoW or do you want your life as it existed when you were playing vanilla WoW.

>IM WILLING TO PAY THAT YOU FUCKING KEK
>NILLA WAS GREAT ID PAY $500 JUST FOR THE PRIVILEDGE OF SUCKING BLIZZ COCK ONE MORE TIME
