Thanks to blizzard's advertisment, i am playing vanilla on Kronos, it seems like a good server which got a good amount of nostalrius players.
|
Yeeah I went to try out Kronos as well while I wait for playtbc to open and it's okay, though some quests have really bad drop rates (which they didn't in nostalrius), besides that, it's fine. Also met a few people who didn't come from nost but from retail after hearing all about this mess with nost they decided to give private servers a try, go figure.

Yep, they managed to piss off plenty people, and also advertise vanilla or legacy servers. I should thank them.

Kronos is p2win isn't it?

God forbid they do what is within their god given rights as IP owners.

Apparently IP law is found within the Declaration Of Independence, who knew? I was not aware that the rights to IP were unalienable. But wait, they totally are.
But semantics aside, Blizzard was always going to go down this route. Even if they offer vanilla servers, I question what percentage of people were playing just to play WoW without paying. But I bet that its a much larger number that people account for.

Blizzard has every right to do whatever the hell they want with their IP like shutting down private servers or dig a deeper grave for WoW with each expansion.
That being said, maybe they should have some humility and learn why they're bleeding subs left and right and there is such a strong vanilla Wow underground community. I mean they probably know the reason but they just have their heads way too high in their asses to address the problem.
I especially love that they will stop reporting their sub # after their last quarterly report. Panic Mode Panic Mode! Quick, let's shut down Nostralius that will bring all that 150K users back to our retail servers!

"all those 150k"
Im sorry but no the Vannila WoW unground community is not important to blizzard. Your forgetting that this big vanilla server is ~3% of WoW's actual population.
They are vocal and determined yes but their not a strong community that Blizzard needs to be listening to.

And WoW still being a cash cow after so many years is impressive and probably far exceeds Blizzard's expectations.

lose 150k here, lose 150k there, soon you'll lose 5-6 millions

I am sure Blizzard has a very clear idea how many people they are losing and business expectations for WoW. These vannila WoW are just an IP issue they need to address because its a protect it or lose it system.

Blizzard is well aware that WoW will someday need to shut down or go free to play. Nothing lasts forever.

Knowing that some day the game is going to die and actively accelerating that process are two completely different things

I dont think this is the case. There are MMOs that have PEAKED at 500k subscribers 10 years ago and are still getting content/expansions to this day. WoW has like 20 years of life left.

That is true, but those 5-6 millions were lost all in one expansion, as opposed to over several.
If this doesn't say WoD is all hype and no substance I don't know what is. Largest cliff-dive of playerbase in any game's history probably ever.

Since WoW is one of the most popular long running video games in the world, its not that huge a deal. Once again, WoW has far exceeded its lifespan. They are just going to keep on trucking. Even if WoW ends 2 years from now, it will be a legend in the game industry for the next 30 years.
