Let's say the 1/10000000 chance occurs

Personally I would say keep each expansion out for two years then add the option to copy your char to the next realm. That way if you get to level 60 and still enjoying doing Naxx you wont have to give that up as you progress into TBC then ultimately WoTLK. It also prevents the raiding scene on the previous servers from collapsing.

No serious player is going to spend much time at all on a copy of the game that never has new content

You truly display the retail mindset on this statement.


Not sure of your age, therefore your exposure to previous titles but just gonna throw a few examples out there:

Super Mario Bros. - 8 Worlds. Did the serous players stop playing once they beat it? I seem to recall even after their 4 installation people still playing the first, having speed clear competitions. Points competitions.

Mario Kart anybody? Woot, got gold on 150cc. Did you quit? No, you owned any shit talker out there, or at least tried to.

Ummmmm ANY FIGHTING GAME EVER MADE. Did the world put down Street Fighter once they went through their "World Tour" single player? No. They harness their skills, compete with each other world wide to the max to the point of "Frame Count or go Home". To this day, I still love playing Street Fighter Alpha 3, and Capcom vs SNK 2.


The best games of specific Genres do not die once it was beaten. It is then relived with making different choices, testing new strats, perfecting your skills and testing yourself. (in this case, making an alt) The beauty of an MMO (even with an end) is that it takes a team (in this case 39 others) to work together, not just on raid night but for preparation.

Even if you kill KT with your super star whatever class you chose, you've never played the game as a healer/tank and it is all new, from VC to Naxx. Same with RDP to MDPS, it is all different, you have different positioning, different times for burst dps, different jobs - CC/Interrupt/Tranq/Disarm/Kite.

Played all the classes all ways? Still the end? No.

Your social skills come into play. Your reputation is everything. It is a living, breathing thing. That in itself doesn't have an end. It is always evolving. If you have only been an average raider, take on a class leadership role. Hell, use that gear you got, make a new guild from the ground up for the new and emerging players and be a mentor/leader/raid leader. Manage not just yourself but your roster, and their egos. Balance keeping everybody happy - #impossible but true leaders still try.

Looks like the other 9,999,999 took part. Blizzard just announced they are NOT announcing Legacy at Blizzcon.

There's still a chance for Blizzard to make an announcement after the event but tbh, I'm not counting on it.
Nostalrius should see this as an opportunity to relaunch. Blizzard did not honor their core values, and just outright spewed this "we'll see" nonsense once more. If they do somehow announce their so called "pristine-servers", no one will give a shit because Nostalrius will be well on its way if they choose to relaunch.

It's a chance but realistically they would not want to say something like that if they were to release Legacy.
If they planned on releasing Legacy realms they would make a huge deal out of it at Blizzcon to hype it up and not make some statement after the show is over.

I hope I'm wrong but looking at it that way it makes 0 sense not to hype it up at Blizzcon if they planned on doing it.
