Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

This is going to happen next. A hypothetical scenario:

After one year of watching the community of Nostalrius grow and grow, after several years of ignoring the needs and demands of hundreds of thousands of Vanilla-players, Blizzard finally decided not to get a piece of the cake.
No, they are preparing for baking the cake by themselves.
How can they do that?
Well, first of all, the best way is to make no statement at all and send the lawyers to achieve a quick server shutdown, which worked properly.
After that, well aware of the big shitstorm which will follow, the best option is to make no statement at all.
A lot of people are really upset, starting petitions, writing thousands of topics in a lot of forums and the best thing to do now is....just say nothing!
After a while, when the storm turned into a small breeze, it is the time for Blizzard´s giant coup:
They are making a huge announcement!
"After a long time of considering the needs and demands of our beloved playerbase, we are proud to present you the introduction of a fully supported legacy server, called Blizzalrius!".
That is the point, when all the anger and hate of the Vanilla-Community finally turn into a huge feeling of joy and happiness and everybody is saying: "Thank you Blizzard, i knew you would listen. I love you!".

As you see, it´s all about strategy and it´s all about money!
Enjoy your cake.

I'll tell you what's gonna happen.

Blizzard gets no money, because they are dumb.
Profit for us, no profit for them.

Pretty much this.

But I think the Nost 2.0 will have another team.

Blizz will keep being silent and hyping their Legion crap which will flop dramatically (just look at the alpha "news", same old garrison shit)

What ever happens one thing is sure there will be another big blizzlike vanilla server with Nostalrius code.

Imagine that Blizzard would open the classic servers along with the Warcraft movie premiere. They would make a bank.
The retards will force Legion though.

In that case I would hold them in utmost contempt but I'd still probably give them my money for vanilla.

Here's the thing. Blizzards done this layout to other private severs. They are kind of hoping it will just go away like the others.

I feel after legion comes out wow will die.

and thats a good thing since every single expansion is worse and worse. continuing a turd can only end in a bigger turd.

This is actually their best move. This might help them

The demon class looks utterly ridiculous too, they are allowing only one race/class to double jump. WTH is that?! I refuse to play this crap. I was down with the monk. A demon hunter... what?!... perhaps I'm just not as blizz saavy as most but this is not like warrior paladin priest mage monk warlock... demonhunter sticks out like an infected toe. Plus they are practically going to be a rogue. Not only that but another melee class... think about that in pvp, another melee class. Who will want to play caster when there are only a few caster specs and 30 melee specs?!

They think they know what Vanilla players want, but they don't.
Therefore, private servers will always exist and people will find ways to operate them where C&D orders don't mean much. (Hopefully, there is someplace with lower latency.)
Maybe some day in the distant future Blizzard will be agreeable to what fans truly want, but it's looking doubtful.
