Blizzard on Vanilla WoW Shutdown [Apr 26, 2016, 09:37 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A Battle.net
post from J. Allen Brack offers Blizzard's official response to the negative
reaction to the news of the
closure of the Nostalrius private "vanilla WoW" server, explaining the
company's position on the situation. He explains the legal move was required to
protect their intellectual property, and claims it was beyond the limitations of
our legal system to do anything but shut them down: "And while we’ve looked into
the possibility – there is not a clear legal path to protect Blizzard’s IP and
grant an operating license to a pirate server." Responding to player's desire
for such a service, he explains if they "explored options for developing classic
servers and none could be executed without great difficulty." This seems to
ignore the possibility of somehow acquiring the project they shut down, though
he doesn't completely rule this out, saying: "One other note - we’ve recently
been in contact with some of the folks who operated Nostalrius. They obviously
care deeply about the game, and we look forward to more conversations with them
in the coming weeks."
kxmode doesn't mention the times he's been wrong because he doesn't remember them
