On October 26 2017 04:51 lemmata wrote:![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/dczqnxa.png) Here's the original post made on the Brain Server web site. It says that the server is shutting down due to internal circumstances. It does not mention Blizzard. It is very short.
+ Show Spoiler [Original post] +
Blizzard California and Blizzard Korea have attacked and dismantled Brain Server for 1.16.1. I cannot source it anymore because the website is wrong.
This is why many Koreans are on iCCup...
It has been stated by administrators Blizzard does not care about StarCraft. They want to control esports but I do not know... please do not quote this portion on other media or as official news.
We do not know what to do.

wonderful news... "dude don't worry about 1.16.1, blizzard will just leave the servers alone!!!" iccup is next
|

Blizzard cannot provide a product where you can reliably chat with each other, but they can track down and destroy the remaining 1.16 EUD community just for the lulz. Such a shame...
|
Wondering how this story evolves.
|
I'm not exactly a Blizzard fan to say the least, but I'm having a hard time believing this.
|
if there was a good product that provides 1v1 2v2 matchmaking and a good ladder experience playing vs people of your región + fun team games,and a cool ladder system + CCMU fixed ,and the chat without bugs i will understand this move.
|
don't care if they fix the fucking game until they ban players rebinding patrol to q, move to w, and overlord to e, what a joke. "not a material competitive advantage in zvz" lol

From a legal perspective, Blizzard has always been in the right.
It's just that nobody with any semblance of integrity can say Blizzard has Brood War's best interests at heart. Streaming content has been more difficult after Blizzard's intervention, due to the constant lag and server issues. Blizzard has proven themselves capable in terms of shutting down competing servers, and forcing their new products down our throats, but the actual gaming experience has suffered immensely.
It truly is a horrible ordeal. Being at the mercy of something so immensely powerful, and inversely benevolent. If Blizzard had only a fraction of competence at providing some good for the Brood War scene as they are competent at claiming what is rightfully theirs, then history would have been very different.
For all their flaws, these servers were relatively free from technical issues for years on end. I truly hope Blizzard can at least match their service to the community now that they have eliminated all forms of competition.

Don't start this shit here. Completely off topic.

I should have never bought remastered.

Killing Fish, splitting community, closing servers now when they didn't give a fuck about this game for 19 years. Typical Activision Blizz...
|
Man, I'm already seeing this shit hitting WC3 servers like W3Arena when Warcraft 3 gets some attention
|
they should hire wlauncher creator and mca :D
|
I want to vouch for the people of brain but at the same time I'm glad they shut it down cause of the fact that N/A can't really afford to split the community right now. We are very limited players in the US and splitting it like this only makes it seem like it's dead. Past few days it has felt that way at least and i guess this new server explains the lack of activity lately. We don't have the luxury of thousands and thousands of people playing sc like korea does to be splitting the server.
On the other hand I can completely understand why people would want to go back to 1.16. The game at its current state is for lack of a better word.... fking garbage.
On the bright side, they're releasing patches frequently and I hope by the end of this year we'll have a remastered that we all dreamed of when it was announced.

^^ and the people working on shield battery.

What happened to Shield Battery anyway?
|
Blizzard sucks and the games they have released in the last 10 years also suck outside of sc2. It's okay, They want to attack our community, we can attack theirs. Just tell people to buy games from other companies. Tell people to support others. Don't even say gizzards name anymore.

Thats not going to happen for me at least. I dont see them getting rid of their slow, cheap, ugly, and shitty web interface. And that's without mentioning the issues with ethics that are never going to disappear. At this point only openbw can free us from blizzard.
