Nostalrius source code and database won’t be released

Perfect! Thanks. A very prudent measure. That anti-cheat tool should be shared with Blizzard to help them with vanilla servers.

Dear Nostalrius leaders

I am not a member of your community but a long time member of the World of Warcraft community. I began my WoW journey after the release of The Burning Crusade and played relentlessly up through Cataclysm. I was younger then and the ups and downs of life took me away from WoW at times and brought me back on multiple occasions. 27 years old now, with a wife and three kids I long to relive the adventures of my youth. Believe it or not, I sorely miss hanging out in trade chat on Tuesday evenings waiting for my weekly Kara pug to fill up. I long for the days of logging in on Wednesday nights for my full guild run of Ulduar. While you are sitting with Blizzard, let them know that there are surely many thousands (at least six people I know personally) of people who are not actively involved in the private server community who would immediately resubscribe if given the chance to re-play vanilla, BC or Wrath in all of its glory. You are our voice and may be the only chance we ever get to reliving those experiences. If Blizzard wants their cash, allow access to vanilla servers only with the purchase of Legion. Once the expansion after Legion is released, open up BC servers. If you purchase that expansion, you get one free transfer from the vanilla server to a BC server. Wrath servers open up the expansion after that and again you get a free transfer of your BC toon to a Wrath server if you purchase that expansion etc. Just a suggestion because we all know how much Blizzard enjoys their money.

I don't see the logic in relese the source code when they meet with blizz. Dono if you're all mostly EU but U.S doesn't mess around with pirates, I mean Hoover isn't around anymore but who know's what will happen? we can all just hope that we can all end up happy, Also Why would Nos team get bought out? honestly it doesn't really make sense, because we'd just move to another priv server, then what? The Nos team screws themselves then and there. don't be rude, i'm sure they're better then that. I mean they've done more for us, then any other Privite server coumminity has done. Wow vanilla wise.

I think people who spend a month bold face lying about what they're going to do are even worse. But nothing tops the brown nosing, shit eating fanboy drones who defend their lies, those people are top tier pathetic.

You have to be trolling lol. Just a few days ago it was declared that blizz will be meeting up with them. So guess what? Plans change. They aren't going to blow that meeting on legacy servers by releasing the database now. Go to bed, you got school in the morning.

Nothing new here, it was rather clear the data wasn't going to be given out. I was expecting more news but it is what it is.

Great announcements! The only problem I'm having (since I'm a noob I guess) is that I don't know what I'm supposed to do with the Nostalrius memories files. Any sort of tutorial?

[abbath]

Am I the one who understand nothing about this statement?!
Just want to know one thing: will there be an official vanilla realm (or nostalrius keep alive) or not?!

This is now a legacy movement rather than a continuation of private servers. Nos team can do more for the legacy server movement not maliciously releasing the data. This situation evolved and they never promised data was going out, it was considered not implied.

More than likely would be mimic server Devs wanted this data to prop up vanilla games for profit rather than for the love of the game.
