This was actually really cool, being able to go back and watch all the memories, i even got to see myself there in org before the servers went down. Thanks guys. This was amazing to get and enjoyed every memory. Did not know something like this was possible.

If you missed it I was streaming some Nostalrius Memories yesterday for some guildies, this stream had quite some attention thanks to the tweet from nostalrius

I explained the setup many times on stream if you want to check it yourself.

I want more news...

[Arucado]

it is a absolutely correct idea not releasing any code, even though they were developed by yourself. It is your IP, you have right to do what you want todo. Please ignore those people who seem desperately want the code.

meanwhile, most of the players want the same outcome as your guys, convincing Blizzard to bring back legacy server. If they want to do so, there must be a way to make it happen. I believe the meeting will be a breakthrough for all of us, even for Blizzard. I think they may truly need your help!!

I anticipate you will receive many criticisms when you gather thoughts and desires from WOW community, so please be prepared.

Anyway, your supporters are waiting for good news. If it is a bad news after a few weeks, at least we tried.

We don't want the code, we want OUR CHARACTERS

This right here is what holds back open source. People take something huge. Something they could not have possibly developed all by themselves. Something worked on by hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people to get it to the point they find it. They make a few improvements and reap some sort of benefit. And it doesn't matter if that benefit is monetary or just the satisfaction that comes from achieving a goal. And now, suddenly, they own it. They get greedy and hold on with both fists clenched.

There's a term for people like that: leechers.

Without MaNGOS there would have been no Nostalrius. That's just a fact. If you're not going to give back to the community from whose work you benefited then that's on you. You're not obligated to legally, but morally, you disgust me. You took the Mona Lisa, painted a mustache on it, and called it your own original work.

Hopefully you guys do strike up some sort of deal with Blizzard. You guys seem perfect for each other.

I fully support ...

Dear developers, very strange on your part to say (promise) of the opening of the server database and its source code if the community asks you about it, and then say "oh, I'm sorry but nothing is open" due to some kind of anti-cheat out there .. .You can not open its source code, and the rest provide the community ... you do not keep your word ...
Well, the wait for the results of interviews with Blizzard, perhaps they are just hard to take you by the balls

Lotta white knights and neo-hipsters in this thread.

I hope a legacy server comes out of this somehow butt think about the decisions the Nost staff has made and ask yourself if you really want them to have anything to do with it. They are no peenix but it was pretty bad.

Judging by that and how quickly they rolled over then this turned into a 'moovment' my guess is they'd just end up as blizzards butt-bois.

Hope the server happens butt I'm realistic. And realistic is the only vanilla we are ever gonna get is private. And if the option is there I'd rather take the chars I had than reroll. Again.
