Meeting report from our post-mortem presentation

[Killershama]

Way to go Nostalrius team! Thank you for everything you have done for us!

[Vikterion]

Thank you very much for your work in preparing this.

Until the people actually in charge say YES, I still don't feel like we're getting anywhere. I also find it hard to believe they didn't know how many people want older versions when it's been begged out of them for years, especially since Cata, and Nost ran for over a year with a massive population. Unless you're totally blind to all the private servers, most of which run BC or Wrath; it should be incredibly obvious that people want older versions of the game. Retail eats a dick, and I wish we didn't have to wait for it to completely crash and burn before they host any other version of the game.

I also like how J Allan, one of the biggest oppositions for Classic over the years, is now pulling a 180 for his reputation. Now and only now is he suddenly claiming to be on our side.

Welp, time to go waste my life away with Project 1999 EQ since I never got to play EQ when I was younger; gonna play OSRS while I get it downloading. You guys won't be seeing Vanilla servers till 2017 fellas, but there is money to be made and Blizzard will probably finally pull their heads out of their asses.

It is possible the lead devs were just living in a bubble and had no idea how big the interest for older expansions truly was. Reading reddit, looking at a few private servers, shows only a few thousand players. Nost did something unique by uniting the community behind something. This gave us a voice, a group of devs passionate as we are, and a professional means of communicating with Blizzard.

You summed up my thoughts pretty good. Also thanks Nost team for this ! You guys are awsome! Lets hope for the best!

Jokes on you. Overwatch is acually fucking great.

I hear it is indeed. Most of my friends play it. I like the fact that it's supposedly a good game - a test of conviction if you will for the people (like me) who decided to boycott all Blizzard products. No amount of peer pressure would let me forget and forgive what Blizzard took from us because Nostalrius was doing better (especially community, buzz and hypewise) than their current incarnation of WoW was.

Good work guys, im proud of you!!!!!

You really did your best, we owe you a lot of respect.

Thanks for the update Nostalrius team, looking forward further information!

Are you going to give the statistics and outcomes of the legacy server survey?

Thanks again,

Thanks for the update !

Is good news that, for once, they were clear with everybody and just didn't give a "NO" for an answer. People want Vanilla but they are busy with Legion. Once they finish it and see that people don't eat their low quality bait (I'm playing the Beta and don't expect a BC 2.0 because is not even going to be a BC 0.5) they will adopt the idea of the Legacy servers and probably put an end to the WoW story and new expansions and start making different projects.

Thanks for everything. But don't let this die! Let's keep making noise! If we stop now, the meeting will be useless!
