![]() They've made and still are making drastic mistakes in their design decisions, which is costing them a lot of subs. While a team of hobbyist quite easily could settle for a working vanilla instance disregarding the entire fixes that went through these 8 years (9 assuming pre 1.1?), blizzard would not. I don't know Jagex well enough to make an informed opinion, but I know software and diverging software paths are quite difficult to maintain *especially* when you have 8 years worth of bugs and fixes that ought to be in that vanilla realm. The current ~10k subs to Nostalrius may have a reason to play Vanilla (It was fun back in the day, I agree) but that doesn't mean that if Legion fails, people will resort to Vanilla servers. I wouldn't expect it to get any better in Legion, it'll peak at the start but declined fast towards mid-life. MMOs tend to be on a decline, they peak at some point and only pickup on new releases especially when you consider this game being on top of the subscriber chart, breaking most records in sales on release and subs for quite a long time (it's highest being during WotLK iirc?). Last edited by bermudapineapple (May 3 2016) Money talks, and its voice is getting louder. Blizzard would rather tell its subscribers "we know what you want" than give them the honest truth about their profit margin concerns. The costs with creating and maintaining these legacy realms are also not expensive at all, considering a team of hobbyists were able to do it. Jagex did so and now there are two entirely different games of RuneScape, each being updated regularly. However, if Legion fails, the WoW subscription numbers are going to tank and this will raise a few questions about the direction of WoW and it may provide the incentive to create legacy realms. I agree they won't create legacy servers just because they might make a profit since they can devote their efforts into creating something else which will net them even more profit in the long run. However, there are tremendous operational challenges to integrating classic servers, not to mention the ongoing support of multiple live versions for every aspect of WoW.įor a new player, it does not matter when to start playing, you have a long way before anything related to Legion matters to you. If we could push a button and all of this would be created, we would. We explored options for developing classic servers and none could be executed without great difficulty. ![]() After a while it just gets boring playing shooter and moba games. I've tried many MMO's and they were all just meh. I don't want to sound like the typical 'it was so good back in the day' guy but I actually had the most fun playing the first three expansions of WoW with friends. But I would definitely play Vanilla-TBC realms if they were released again. I'd much rather they invest every single asset they have making the game better, than worrying about vanilla, but that's just me. ![]() (factoring number of players, difficulty to maintain and income) My guess is they will simply keep the discussions open indefinitely or until such a time when they find good reason in having a vanilla realm. Pristine realms aren't going to satisfy the Vanilla cravers and Blizzard has clearly said that they will not maintain or allow Nostralius folk to maintain a vanilla realm. Maintaining diverging paths of software is way too costly and complex for any company. And if that doesn't work out they'll create a pristine realm for players that resembles Vanilla, of course no one would want that as much as classic WoW but still it's something. I'd love to raid during Legion, I play Shadowpriest as Horde on Kazzak and Holy Paladin as Alliance on Ravencrest.īlizzard are meeting with the people who created the private server Nostralius this week I believe. I agree with tt400 about the game, don't join now, wait for Legacy servers or play a month before Legion.Īlso, I'll be watching the movie (which comes out on March 26th in Lebanon) at Cit圜enter because I'm sure they'll put it on IMAX.īeen waiting forever for this movie! It's finally I'm guessing you're horde if you're on Twilight Hammer. If anyone is good and wants to raid mythic and still has interest in the game contact me please.Īlso concerning the warcraft movie, if you would like to go watch it with 10+ warcraft fans till now, give me a direct message.īut i have played Warcraft: Orcs and HumansĪnd i really look forward to the movie mainly because i like fantasy stuff + the lead actor is awesome I will be raiding on twilight's hammer-EU as a boomkin.
