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?
post link with new relevant info or fuck off. Nobody cares about his shitty twitter bullshit
Luis Morris
You realize this level of delusion is pathetic right
Gabriel Martinez
>assmad retailcucks pissed about their facebook games and $25 mounts no longer being relevant
Leo Price
>no expansion until August >blizz shuts down Nost and hints at vanilla servers >proceeds to tease fans for months >legion launches and everyone forgets
Matthew Ortiz
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
Nicholas Ramirez
The twitter contains all new relevant information you retard.
John Evans
Sounds like it went pretty well honestly. I fucking knew they had the source code still the little snakes.
Jacob Brooks
>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
Camden Ortiz
Level to about 20, frost mage, hang out in barrenschat forever
Jace Powell
>you children m'lady
Jaxson Price
>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.
Isaiah Williams
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.
Evan Baker
funny you post FLCL since they recently announced a reboot of that as well
Jace Martinez
Your lack of punctuation tells me that you are probably retarded.
Lucas Gray
>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.
Hunter Rodriguez
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.
Thomas Mitchell
>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.
Michael Gutierrez
thats just bullshit theyre saying to not seem like the true blizzard they are
Jayden Collins
LET IT GO
Juan Rogers
Holy shit really?
Levi Parker
>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.
Jack Lopez
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.
Dominic Parker
>some nostalgic fucks. I find it funny that Nostalrius had more active players than some modern retail MMOs. What a strange perspective
Ryder Parker
>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 :)
Jason Bennett
>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 :^)
Ryder Wilson
It's way easier to feed you with bullshit excuses than do risky moves. :^)
Leo Jones
>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
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.
Carter Miller
>what race/class/spec will you be maining? none because never again
Parker Diaz
ok
Brody Howard
>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?
Austin Rogers
pretty sure a blue literally said it
they maintain a 14 year old game and still support XP, i think they can handle it
Camden Green
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!
Asher Carter
Overwatch made Sup Forums love blizz again. Vanillafags are truly as cancerous as the modern WoW community, they just don't realize it.
Noah Hughes
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.
Daniel Peterson
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.
Jayden Foster
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.
Andrew Garcia
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.
Christian Cooper
Inorite?? I mean, nobody plays games made before 2010! xD
You're a fucking retard, shut the fuck up.
Jackson Hill
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
Leo Jenkins
You do realize you will have to pay a sub fee right
Thomas Sullivan
Nostalgia is hella of a drug man.
Jack Diaz
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.
Julian White
Because it was free
Alexander Martin
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.
Jeremiah Hernandez
Vanilla was never good, don't you remember everyone calling it a shitty, casual EQ clone?
Jackson Butler
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
Josiah Hughes
>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.
James Fisher
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?
James Price
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.
Hudson Diaz
...
Jacob Morris
>giving money to blizzard
Nolan Smith
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.
Aiden Ward
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.
Connor Murphy
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
Brandon Peterson
>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
Eli Martinez
>Game with 9m subs >Hipster
I don't think you know what that word means.
Kevin Lopez
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.
Ethan Barnes
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
Lincoln Roberts
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.
Ryder Perry
>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.
Jace Cooper
fuck 'video games', especially vanilla WoW
Thomas Smith
Nost didn't even get to AQ40 user come on. You act like MC is uber fucking hard.
Justin Russell
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
Cameron Parker
>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.
Ian Murphy
Every semi-serious guild was still raiding at least 3 times a week for 3-4 hours.
Lincoln King
>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!
Jaxson Campbell
>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.
Isaiah James
Exactly who the fuck have you been listening to that expects it to be free? Show me these people.
Evan Robinson
>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?
Hudson Baker
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.
Xavier Scott
>Argues you need no life to raid in Vanilla >Is now arguing that raiding doesn't take long
?
Jacob Jones
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
Elijah White
but it doesn't take long
Juan Rodriguez
They actually just this week hotfixed some stuff to make the game harder at lower levels and LFD spam leveling less viable.
Adam Garcia
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
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!
Adrian Allen
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.
Joseph Allen
Get some reading comprehension faggot, ^They're both me.
Michael Martin
tryhard guilds would be doing 1-2 BWLs, at least 1 MC and Ony, and some optional ZGs
>I didn't say I want you to feed me through a tube. I just said I want you to put a hollow cylindrical object directly into my stomach and push liquid and semi-liquid food into it.
that's literally you
you're fucking retarded
Jordan Phillips
>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.
Lincoln Cooper
His "original vision" changed weekly which is what killed the game and company when he was CEO
Levi Stewart
its ok Now they will charge you $130 and $15 a month to play vanilla
Dont forget to buy legion
Nathan Sullivan
>$130 >He's so fucking retarded he doesn't realise all expansions are bundled now and have been for years
John Cruz
>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.
Hunter Walker
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.
Nathan Wilson
YEAH YOU TELL THAT FAGGOT NOSTKEK! HE HAS TO PAY MONEY TO BLIZZARD! HAHA! WHAT A FUCKING LOSER!
Parker Morales
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.
Mason Bell
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.
Gavin Ward
>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
