Don´t let our characters die please!

I would love my characters back, that's what i was hoping for with the petition going but this doesn't seem to be a possibility anymore, i wont have the time i had when i started nostalrius thus i am not starting all over again on an "official legacy server" . We need to look after real life guys, get outside your cave and find a reason you're living apart of playing this ageless game.

exactly what I was thinking, Plus I supported that petition because the devs said that they will release the accounts database so the community can take over and decide their future, Now from the looks of it they won't release anything and are trying to become blizzard's dogs.

enjoy ur legacy ppl, whenever that happens.

I don't understand why people want their character data released. I really don't.

Gather 'round kids and let me share with you a story from the land of Archangel. The 2.4.3 Trash tier tbc server.

We're a month into the release of Tier 6, and we're building a guild. At the time, US players had pretty much started abandoning the server do to the state of server. If you played in North America, you enjoyed literal 2 second delay between everything during peak times. If you were a melee class, you couldn't PvP, because everything was out of range.

So, in an effort to keep the guild we were building afloat, we merged with a guild of horde migrates and started gearing them up so we can start progression into Tier 5, and work into Tier 6.

Now, i'm going to side track this a moment, and bring up some information that will be relevant to the story. If you played on Archangel, then i'm sure you know about the MANY 2.4.3 servers that popped up over time, and died, with the aims of being a much better server. One of the more popular ones actually got off the ground for a week, and there were a lot of migrates. It did eventually die, but this server was hosted by a certain few individuals that played on Archangel. The server died, and their information was released to the public, like what people are requesting here.

It just so happened that the guild leader who had merged his horde migrates into our guild happened upon the servers unencrypted player data base.

Now, how many of you use the same usernames and passwords on private servers? Turns out 1 out of every 2 players from Archangel used the same information. That same information that was chilling in the account portion of the DB.

So, this dude approached me one day, and asked of me a favor. He wanted me to log into his druid, and accept trades for him, and I watched him one by one, log into every account that had matching credentials on AA, and break down all their gear for gold, and hand over all their belongings.

This is the probable future of your player data, should it be released to the community. Trust me when I say you want those characters to just rot, because if they fall into the wrong hands, you'll be starting over anyway.


and thats the cool part about starting over on a legacy server. Only way you're getting hacked is if you're a fan of watching sketchy porn, or downloading dodgy files.

im actually amazed that there seems to be so many people who though they would get their chars back... and where? a crappeir version of nost? How would that be worth your effort? I Think most people would agree that if we can get offical legacy servers running at blizz, we would all be better off.

[Trixyy]

yes the people who mocked us for wanting vanilla wow. the ones responsible for the awful game that wow retail has become. Thats who we would be better off with..?


makes sense
