Hey fellow Nostalrius players. :D
I made this Change.org aimed at blizzard and I need your help through means of signatures.

https://www.change.org/p/blizzard-wow-v ... m=copylink

Sorry if I get a lot of hate for this, but I would really like some help from the beautiful community of Nost. (And I'm not trying to rebel from nost but.. well, I'll just quote something from the change.org post:
All of us know, deep in the back of our minds, that these private servers are only temporary. All the characters we created... All the friends we made... All the raid bosses we downed, or the players we ganked... It will soon mean nothing.


Thank you for taking your time, and I hope I see some signatures popping up on there. :) Thank you.

Because in the end, they made the game. Just because they made mistakes doesn't mean they don't own every single right to the title. And I'm not looking to Blizzard to make the game better, because they won't do better than Nostalrius, but they have money. And Nostalrius doesn't. I'm trying to look out for us post-nost.

I also don't think they "made the game shit," they just went in a different direction with it, one older players don't enjoy as much as new ones do. (I personally will never resub to WoW unless legacy servers were brought up, but I'm not mad at Blizzard or anything.)

Nah, I'd rather eat my own shit than give any money to Activision-Blizzard for "gracing" us with their

"LEGACY SERVERS, BUY NOW ONLY £59,99 WITH A FREE LEVEL 60 BOOST WITH FREE RAID GEAR TO JUMP STRAIGHT INTO THE ACTION NEW UPDATES AND WHACKY MEMES AND CHARACTERS FOR YOU TO EXPLORE, ONLY £69,99"

If you honestly think Blizzard "didn't do anything" wrong then, Jesus you've kept your eyes shut and ears closed tight haven't you?

They didn't make the game. A group of amazing developers and pioneers of their time did. 95% of those people are now long gone from Activision-Blizzard.

This is also why I don't understand why anyone still fanboys Blizzard to this day. Blizzard is nothing more than a bunch of moneymilking corporate sacks of shit living off of the old products goodwill.

This has already been addressed to Blizzard years ago.. You can check on those necro- threads yourself on the official wow forums..
They have no intentions of doing legacy servers and stated they don't want to bring customers a product that is so called "flawed".
I doubt they've changed their stance on this topic so, your dream of Blizzard making that happen is like curing Charlie Sheen of HIV

Even if they would want to do it, it was disclosed (quite some time ago in some interview) to be nearly impossible to do - apparently Blizzard doesn't have code for server software of older versions anymore.

alright, have fun hopping private servers and losing your progress constantly every other year then I guess. :/ It doesn't appeal to me to lose all my data though, personally.

The moment I saw this post I wondered why on Earth would anyone post this HERE of all places. You do realise that atleast 50% of the users here are pissed at Blizzard for all they've done, right? And after that you come out with an idea that will help Blizz make MORE money (money that by many accounts they don't deserve at all) and proceed to publicaly eat up more of their shit by supporting them. People don't just come here to play vanilla again. Some people are actualy very cross with Blizz for runing one of their favorite games into the ground. Also the whole thing about private servers being "short time" is 90% negative thinking. Nost already achieved what other privates couldn't so why not think it'll go all the way? You have a better reason to think that than to think they'll be going down soon. Pull yourself out of Blizzard's ass while you can (if you still can) and stop giving them pats on the head.
