It isn’t really stealing if they aren’t really providing the ability for me to pay for it.
They aren’t providing wrath classic servers, so what is the problem in getting that entertainment elsewhere then. Most players wouldn’t be flocking to private servers for wrath classic if blizzard would provide wrath classic themselves.
And cataclysm classic doesn’t count as wrath classic. Some people might think it does. But all of the changes made in cataclysm tell me otherwise. And vanilla era doesn’t count, and neither does SOM or classic + or classic hardcore. Those don’t count either.
Depends on what country you live in. Any country with suitable consumer protection will consider it abandonware, and you’re in the clear. Anywhere else… You’re out of luck.
Wrath Classic was showing just shy of half a million players at peak, and down to ~140k just prior to Cataclysm prepatch. If “most of” the players went elsewhere, why is the Warmane server population so stable and unchanging? Where did 350k players go, if it clearly wasn’t Warmane, the largest Wrath private server?
They went to SoD, not Wrath. And now most are back in Cataclysm. Sorry to say, your community is not representative of the larger consumer base, where FOMO is king.
I personally just feel this way about wrath classic. If they aren’t selling it. I am going to find somewhere else where I can play it. People can accuse that of theft all they want I guess. I just find it stupid to claim that.
Either way, I cancelled my sub. Blizzard doesn’t want me here. Then it’s time to go. Still frustrating. I wasted 5 years, only to end up in the situation that made me want classic versions to begin with. And no one likes their time being wasted. That is why it is so frustrating. And I wasted my time on blizzard, hoping in vain that they would make permanent wrath classic servers when the time came to do so. Well, I lost faith in blizzard. And I will never trust a word that they say again. That I can promise you.
That is what is really annoying to me. I keep having this sliver of hope. Like, oh, maybe they might do permanent wrath classic eventually. I mean, I hope to god that they do. And that everyone who said it would never happen, and that it never will happen are wrong. But, it is what it is.
This isn’t how MicroBlizz does business. Their sales funnel keeps you entertained just long enough until their next product launches, rinse repeat. Legacy servers would throw a big fat non-profit wrench into their gears, no can do.
Yup. Blizzard annihilates fun. Too bad they lie and pretend to care which leads on ignorant people to actually believe they would do it. Really symbolic of the scummy garbage that are video game executives. Not a fan of Wotlk so I couldn’t care less. Just here to dump gas on Blizzard’s latest dumpster fire.
Cool story bro. I’m sure you are because you’re likely a casual player. Just pointing out Blizzard’s greed and why Legacy servers will never happen because of it. Not going to debate what is or isn’t fun.
I’m sure there must be hundreds of video companies that will give you what ever it is you want no matter how big a loss they take to do it. Did you try any of those?
You can rebrand these people as Andys or whatever other dorky Reddit terminology you want, but this stopped being a great own years ago. It turns out people did find other games to play & WoW bled subs.
So you claim, but you’re still here. Many others who claimed they were unsubbing are still here. And many who asked for wrath era and claimed they wouldn’t play cata said they would play SoD or some other version of wow. Only blizzard has the data to know how many subs were lost with no BC or Wrath era.
Yes, I’m still here, playing Era / HC and “spamming” the Forums for BC & Wrath Era servers until my sub runs out in a little over 1 month (I had a 6 months sub)
Only blizzard knows. No offense meant but in situations like this I never take anyone’s word on the internet. If you don’t do the same or wonder why I say that you really haven’t been paying much attention to what goes on on the internet
