Blizzard has officially shut down Nostalrius Begins, the WoW private server which served 10,000 players daily.

If any of you cunts are still giving these jewbags your money, business, or playing their games, you can officially go fuckyourself with a fat wad of cash, the same method Blizzard uses for their sex life.

Fuck you, Blizzard. Jewish faggots.

Why not just join a vanilla guild? Never understood it can someone explain the diff other than you level faster now? Im not trying to be a dick just never knew the difference

>>678016916
They are in their right.
>>
>>678016916
They are a business.
I enjoy their product.
They are not your friend lil buddy,

Business is business kiddo
>>
>>678017678
Nostalrius made no money. Blizzard is doing nothing but angering a large community. They are greedy cunts, and nothing you say can excuse the fact that they've slain a community of 10,000+.
>>
>>678017678
This, you make a multi million dollar product and some other little neckbeard basement dweller is making money off your product? Fuck you op i support blizzard on that move

I googled this and couldn't find any proof Fuck you OP you massive faggot.
>>
>>678017234
Why would I give them money? Blizzard is an extremely greedy company, and anyone with the internet and a keyboard can figure that out.

>>678017855
No money was made, but keep spreading rhetoric. Thats what you do best.
>>
>>678017957
Go to their homepage. How stupid are you?

>>678016916
Only game I ever game Blizzard money for was Diablo 3
>>
>>678016916
OMG a company wants money! Get a life fackwad
>>
>>678017958
But still, its costing blizzard money you faggot and because you dont understand that makes u an autist
>>
>>678017807
Its called Opportunity Cost little man.

They are costing them losses, in revenue they could have been recieving had the copyright infringement server not existed.


Cry more.
>>
>>678018178
You don't understand the sheer stupidity you spew.

>>678018168
I'm sorry for your loss.

>>678018366
And whos fault is that? Blizzards. The community demanded Vanilla servers since TBC came out. Thousands of people on Nostalrius played both games. Its an entirely different game.
>>
>>678018456
You're right, all 10,000 of those players who've just been FUCKED OVER will definitely go and subscribe to their overlords.

yeah, no, kiddy.
>>
>>678017807
they might not have made money but they were effectively letting over 10,000 people play there game for free
>>
>>678018596
If that little neckbeard private server wasnt around the would have. 10,000 peeps 15 bucks a pop? Do you understand how a business works? Money

You can stop leveling your char and choose to play vanilla content, bc, wotlk, etc. Some people like other expansions other than vanilla so fuck off with your blasphemy. That would be a lot of fucking seperate servers just for a specific xpac
>>
>>678016916

Doesn't it say in the EULA somewhere that playing on private servers is a violation?
>>
I fucking hate their arrogance. They say Vanilla servers are not feasible, but it's complete bullshit.

Just look at the support this community run game received in such a short period. If it had Blizzards advertising capacity and was legal with no chance of your progress being wiped, it would be a huge success.

>>678018609
It's not the same game. Vanilla and the shit they call World of Warcraft these days are completely different.

>>678019160
Newfag. Stopping at level 60, 70, etc isn't remotely the same. There are spells missing, different secondary stats, etc etc.
>>
>>678019160
There hasn't been vanilla content since Cataclysm.
>>
Vanilla was so boring, you had very little to do it just took you forever to do anything, raids were painful lagfests, pvp was broken as shit and the only reason people were 'Friendlier' back then was because they needed help to kill everything .
>>
>>678019374
this

It's against the EULA and Blizz should shut it down. Plain and simple. End of discussion.
>>
>>678017408
>they are in the right
>they are within their rights

I can understand why Blizz did this, doesn't make me any less sad
>>
Why would anyone want to go back to vanilla after playing Wrath onwards,
You'd be going from a semi fast pased to a incredibly slow game you already know the ending to.
>>
>>678016916
That game is for casuals. What the hell happened to 4-player games? Shit used to be so cash.
>>
Was playing 8 years Wow . Cancelled sub last year cause the last playable and fun exp was wotlk . Thinking of mop makes me want to puke . Had some fun with nostalrius . That was a dick move unless they plan to release official vanilla servers . That would be the smartest move they ever pulled since about forever . Once upon a time blizzard games used to be fun . Now continue watching your fucking subscription numbers go down the shithole fucking corporate bitches . Less than 4 million subs and it used to be 12. I am sure nostalrius is to blame not our great game . Yeah , fuck off.

I played Nost for over a year. All that progress was just wasted because blizzard wants to plug more coins up their ass.

Fucking insane. Fuck you blizzard. From a victim of rape, I hope you get raped.
>>
>>678021151
In your opinion. Clearly 10,000 people that played daily disagree.
>>
>>678022450
plot of wow
>smack bad guy who wants to rule/destroy the world
hmm complex!! classic / bc had great gameplay, fun and very well written lore
>>
>>678017234
The game has undergone significant and fundamental changes since vanilla. Playing on a private server which runs a vanilla instance is the only way to experience vanilla as it was meant to be experienced.
>>
You do realize this isn't entirely Blizzard's fault, right? Activision bought Blizzard a while ago - WoW went downhill once this happened
>>
>>678016916
Fuck blizzard since they stopped patching the PS3 and Xbox 360 diablo 3. Fucking jews shouldn't have released it on those consoles then.
>>
>>678017678
Blizz used to be about geeks, not business. Sad when money is more important than your fanbase.
>>
uh oh, looks like somebody's mad that their fun got taken away
>>
Since now I had no strong feelings towards or against Blizzard as a company. But it appears that they have the balls to enforce their right. I value that. As a nice side effect 10000 faggots are now buttmad. And a certain fraction of those anally annihilated sperglords now throw a tantrum.

10k players daily. For a community run server that is exceptional. Imagine what could've been done with Blizzards advertising.
>>
>>678024639
Well unfortunately it costs money for people to play for free. The people that maintain the servers, cost of the servers, the people that maintain the customer support and the people that maintain the game are not free. The people doing the work cannot eat kindness. A suggestion: go make yourself rich and spend your money running and maintaining a game online for thousands of people to play for free and see how long you are rich.

>>678025631
I guess thats why their servers always eun super stable when people actually have a reason and thats why they have that super trained and motivated support team. Also they never pumped out that much content that fast.

Seeing that your games were actually fun one day and now they suck big and filthy ogre cock is a pain aint'it blizzard?

>>678025643
Fuck you for selling out. Take some lsd and get back to making games for fun and for the sake of making games instead of wanting to make games to buy more cocaine and hookers.

Am I the only one who genuinely began enjoying WoW more once MoP came out? BC and Wrath were total shitfests.
>>
>>678026866
No, they will do fuck all about it. The code doesnt exist anymore. Using the emulator code would cause a shitton of support tickets from people who are not into vanilla and only want to try it and blizz just doesnt want to put in any efford just to please 10k people. I mean comeon 10k fans , pathetic.

dude, 10k is fucking nothing so dont speak about "demand" as if its something alot of people give a shit about, even runescape has more fucking players than that lmao

fuck. sorry to hear. didn't play there much. now i'm glad of those 10 hours i spend in there this winter. was awesome. much more WoW than Blizzard's current stale sack of shit.

shame I didn't get to try relieve the old AV.
>>
>>678027562
10k is actually quite a lot... Thats ~100k bucks per month in subscription money.... But i guess 100k is not worth any efford and you dont want people to have the fun for free now do we?
>>
The Nostalrius private server isn't the same game that you'd be paying $15 a month for.

If Blizzard offered that exact experience, I'd pay. Since they don't sell that particular experience, they can fuck off.
>>
Age of mmorpgs is dead and wow is dying a natural death just like rs and all other rpgs.
Now you can enjoy lol and csgo with the most fkin toxic communities ever because of the competitiveness. I miss the good old days in wow and rs when you could just chill with other players in some area. Now all you get is cyka blyat and agry 12y olds.

blizzard might be defending their property but playing today there was actual maintenance going on while the servers were running, lagging at points when the server wide message went up

can someone explain to someone not so well versed in server hosting?

Wait...

Bliz sells software with a closed architecture and a license that requires monthly fees for use. Does all the hard work, writes the code, markets, etc...

Someone comes in and violates the licenses, running a bootleg server, cutting into Bliz profits, copyright, etc...

Bliz shuts them down since there's no upside to letting it continue and it violates a million things that they don't want violated...

>and then people act surprised.

1) this might be step one of a chain of events where blizzard activates their own vanilla servers (who would pay for them if you can get it for free elsewhere)

2) it is a violation of copyright, because they 'turned a blind eye' before has no bearing on if they want to shut it down now

3) you will NEVER recapture what vanilla wow once was! just accept that and either quit like the little bitch you are or man the fuck up and play the game in its current state

4) OP is fag......

Would anyone be interested on a fake campaign asking for censorship in wow just to see the sweet tears in their forums? Since they removed a butt pose from overwatch it's possible that they would consider censoring the buttslap animatipns for female draenei elves and succubus. Also their revealing underwear and flirt emotes are clearly sexist. Not to mention female gnomes look too much like kods for my puritan tastes. I'm currently working on making screenshots anf posts to send to feminists and soccwr moms.

>>678017678
>business is business

their subscriptions are in their lowest numbers in years, you're fucking retarded

if blizzard wasnt clung to their ego on creating an "amazing expansion" or some shit they would make some kind of throwback servers for vanilla and TBC. nost had like 10,000 daily like OP said, and TONS more people would play.

WoW is gonna die eventually but if they wanna keep making money off of it for longer they might want to consider something like this. conversely such a thing could be divisive for the community so there may be some merit in retaining the current game, but i imagine there would be people who would play both.

i haven't played WoW in years but your complete lack of business sense and conceited attitude really irked me. you should kill yourself

Well thanks for the tip, but I quit a little while after the Lich King. Motherfuckers make a billion or two every time an expansion comes out. If there was no monthly fee they would still make money. Also the file size and installation time is insane.... I mean sure it looks good but holy fuck reuse some textures or something.

Anon it's their game they made it, if they don't want a copy version of their game being played anymore then they have the right to do it

It represented a loss of 10k subscriptions, people playing something blizz created without paying.
>>
>>678016916
so is there a reason why like the last super private server group years ago who was discovered to be pocketing donation money which is blizzards only rule of not to do? or are you just saying blizzard sucks because you havent figured out why they shut them down

>bliz isn't losing money from people playing vanilla

Bliz isn't making money off them either. And if you don't enforce your patents, trademarks, and copyrights you lose them.

Can always write your own software to do it.

blizzard wasn't so bad till activision got their dirty claws into them. since then they've had crap shit and feces. really don't know how they've stayed in business except for us old fan's hoping they'll pull of another gem. but its always a lie
>>
Only read like half this thread cuz tldr, but I wonder with such a large community for a private server could blizzard be seriously announcing their own vanilla server at this years blizzcon? This private server has run for years and never had issues before as far as im aware, why now? why would blizzard wait so long to take action, surely they were aware of this servers existence a long time ago. With a date for blizzcon announced today surely this is no coincidence. Also off the back of the success of runescape class, This is a possibility.

OP you are a fucking idiot. They have every right to do that and Infact I'm glad they did. Fuck shitalrius or whatever that garbage is called. Bunch of basement dwelling fat neckbeard fucks huehuehue cant afford 15 bucks cuz living in my moms house stiff so i'm going to be a badass and play on this private server. You stinking phimosis dickelette cummie puddle slupring cuck faggot. Maybe now you will go outdoors instead of circing jerking to gnomes with your flapper wheel dicklette that sprays black plague semen in 3 seconds.

Speaking of trying too hard

You host servers of game, with rules that clearly says you cannot simply copy/emulate their product; this lawsuit is understandable

Laughing my arse off at the whole private server scene now, other private server communities shitting their pants, hahahaha

Get shit on, this is justified
Thank you Blizz <3
>>
>>678038597
only time blizzard ever cared is when the owners of the private servers made money off them. they could accept donations but only for keeping the servers running and if even 1 cent was pocketed then they go after them.
its happened before to a much much larger private group years ago

They will not host Vanilla servers, they've literally said this at every single BlizzCon, and every single given interview in which the question was implied

They're doing it, because they're using their product illegally, it's sore simple

They want their games to grow in a more serious scene (e-sports fx), meaning that they've grown more impatient/strict with cheaters, exploiters, and in this case, people who emulate -their- product

As long as there is the "Stupid Consumers" these companies will continue to treat the masses like shit. You'll never get what you actually want out of the games (knowing that the companies can easily do it..but won't)
>>
>>678017234
Ignoring the loss of naxx the game itself has undergone enormous changes. You will NEVER be able to get a 1.12.1 experience playing with any patch past 2.4.3 (and even at 2.4.3 the experience will be completely different).
>>678017678
>>678018456
It makes absolutely no sense though. Do they really think people who enjoyed vanilla enough to go to a private server will like the shit they are pushing out now? The reason I went to private servers wasnt because I didn't want to pay but because MoP was completely shit. If they want to enforce these copyrights the least they could do is release servers for the specific content instead of bitching about private servers while blatantly refusing to release legacy content.

Personally I feel like they could make vanilla servers but I also feel a lot of people would quit after the hype went down because they would realize it was actually hard as fuck to level in vanilla. Also reap what you sow.

Get fucked, OP. You wanna play that old-as-dirt game? Get a job and pay the money.

Or, you know, get out of the basement and get some sunlight. Vitamin D's good for you.

Payment isn't the problem. I would happily pay to renew my subscription if they offered legacy realms but I refuse to pay for a shit game (See Cata,MoP&WoD). As such what option do I have but to turn to private servers?

Then go write your own software and do what you want.

Bliz doesn't owe you anything. If you don't like their product you can walk away.

Its like you're sitting at the ford dealership demanding they sell you a toyota. Just because you want something doesn't mean they have to give it to you.

>>678016916
I used to play City of Heroes for years, and probably had about $1500 in expansions, costume packs, extra powers packs, storage space for self-designed adventure areas, and so on. Then they got bought by Paragon and, because it wasn't making enough profit (it was still turning a profit, just not a large enough profit for them), they shut it down. Right up until the end, they were still shilling expensive clothing packs and expansions for a game which wasn't going to exist.

I would have sued them, but they're based in Korea. Well, fool me once and all that. I've never played another MMO after that. MMOs get to fuck me in the ass just once. I will never again give money to an MMO.

True, but I can find comfort in the knowledge that they wasted money enforcing their copyright to earn exactly 0 new subscribers (and actually likely lose some since a number of the people in my guild were still playing live as well as private).

Right now, the community is collectively hold its breath in hopes that Legion will be great. I'm assuming if things go south, their subscriber count will drop even lower and even the dedicated playerbase is just gonna leave the game to die.
