Something is in the air...

Not to try and discredit the man, but before praising him as the lord and saviour take a look at this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments ... o_by_red_5

I personally have no idea to what extent any of that information is credible, or representative of the person he was at Blizzard, or is today, but it's an interesting perspective nonetheless. It does not change the fact it's awesome that he does what he's been doing on twitter today, but, sadly, he may not be as influential as many would like him to be.

i dont want to say it is likely, but its more likely than ever before that we can get legacy servers.
it now is very important ot keep the pressure up. they need to realise we are for real, not just trolling, we really want this to happen.

They want to ignore it until it goes away, the only way something is gonna happen is if it doesn't go away this time.

I just don't know if I trust Blizzard to handle it properly these days.

It's completely possible, but there are more ways to interpret the silence.

Silence breeds disaster.

Perhaps, maybe they were serious on going forward with the lawsuit and were instructed not to comment by a lawyer?

Consider this:

- Blizzard has never given us a big fat no to legacy servers. Sure, they have spoken about it at Blizzcon and on the forums, answering people that they have no intention to do it at that moment. We all know the excuses they gave us, all of which have been refuted by now. But I have never sensed, from what I have read, seen and heard that they once and for all have given us the finger for it.

- It has now been over a week since the shut down of the largest private server in history. The following storm probably took Blizzard by surprise. The uproar is enormous and the wrath of the internet is pouring down on Blizzard on social media.

- Blizzard is completely quiet. Not a word.

But why is Blizzard quiet? If this issue was easy to resolve at Blizzards office, they surely would have clarified this to us by now and said "No, there will be no legacy servers.". But the pressure is enormous. Heck, even the BBC reporter tried to get a comment from Blizzard! But no, no comment.

I feel something is in the air. I am convinced this matter is under serious consideration among the devs of Blizzard right now. They wouldn't be so quiet about it if that was not the case. See, Blizzard is pretty good at shutting their mouths about things they are working on (see past game releases).

Am I interpreting their silence wrong?

Man i so hope you're right...

My understanding is they were threatening to sue if the server wasn't taken down. Nostalrius satisfied those demands so Blizzard won't sue them.

Of course, but you never know, maybe they thought Nost wasn't going to comply so quickly. Perhaps they anticipated a battle.
