[Xaverius]

boiler_xh: is that true they lost the source for vanilla server ?? i can't believe it
Mark: No way. I hired the first archivist at Blizzard so stuff like that shouldn't happen.

If an archivist do his job right vanilla and tbc servers should take no time at all. This is good news indeed.

These kind of direct answers you could never get before, its damn good to have an ex blizzard employee who answers directly

It also shows those who say that are lying. I mean if they lie about that, what else are they lying about? Could setting up a legacy server actually be something very easy to do, but they are just too butthurt to do it?

I think the problem always have been the fact that it would buckle their pride and hybris rather than hurt their pockets, just the arrogant answer that guy got at blizzcon makes me sure of that.

Tbh, most people that have commented on the offical forums and on mmo-c always seemed to think its only a couple of hundred players that would want / play it, lack of knowledge is the problem + prob a bit of hybris/worship of blizzard. (just my theory).

When you consider the caliber of people voicing theis nonsensical fanboi memethink, almost makes ya feel like we have been a little to hard on ol Blizzard. These fkn people who want to play soccer with their hands, basketball without dribbling, and no-contact flag football, and sadly they've been catered to for so long they are all thats left.

Plz blizzard, you give these whining 12 yr old children mountains of not-content and missions and instant level 100 and wut happens?
Play your shitty game for 10 minutes then go straight back to COD and Halo.
