Sophie_ 15 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Wait blizzcon and see, as they said, blizzcon is a golden occasion to talk about legacy servers, but if they dont talk about that, well, i dont think they'll do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapiguy 56 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The only way Blizz will ever launch a legit legacy server, is if there's a proven playerbase large enough to profit from, which I don't believe there is... Everyone talks about how much they miss legacy WoW, but the fanboys and supporters of this aren't nearly as vocal or direct as the droves of raging assclowns that think WoD was 'AWESOME!!!'... Again, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, unfortunately. Lots of different severs already running these games, all be it not as well. Played on a few of them. Kinda thinking that this will be an in game option that will run along side the other game play. There are the players out there, its a question of if they can be arsed. We all got old :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapiguy 56 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 You can't take private servers and use them as a petri dish, as they are never an indicator of actual available playerbase. I get what you're saying, and I miss vanilla/bc/wotlk as well, BUT, if Blizz doesn't see a BIG revenue stream from it, they won't waste the time or resources setting up or maintaining this. I hope I'm wrong, but their business model suggests otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcangelo 105 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 But once again They are loosing players. So They need to do something, and They dont need to do so much as They have backup of every final release of the game. So im sure They would make $$ on it, so i just don't see a reasons not 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapiguy 56 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Okay, let me explain why they have reasons not to: 1) hardware/servers/bandwidth/??? for legacy servers 2) staff to moderate and GM legacy servers (support) 3) development teams to handle bugs and issues as they arise on legacy servers (support) If this is really going to be any level of success, they have to weigh the costs vs. the potential to retain customers AND get new ones. They run a metric, and if it doesn't show positive growth, it gets no traction and dies before ever becoming a reality. I think people forget one thing, Blizzard is a business, and they're in it to make money 99% of the time. This might be that 1%, you never know, but the chances of that being the case are pretty slim, imho. We shall see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcangelo 105 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 I know what you say is true. But again, its a chance to make more $$ so i think They take it. And again how many people do They need to get it running ? Not That many, and you can see the legacy player base is close to/bigger than the actually retail. And if They setup a subscription for 2-3 euro for legacy servers i belive it would make them a decent Chuck of $$ But again we can only guess :) But i belive it will happen sometime, not sure its going to be annonced at the year blizzcon but i think it will sooner or later.

Hapiguy 56 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I hope you're right, really I do. In the end, it will come down to the number crunchers... If they decide it's a winning strategy, then it will happen. If not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
style.lbz 1 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 imo, if teams like kronos and nost could manage one i dont think it will cost them THAT MUCH they already have the staff and equipement for it..... anyways i might be crazy but i think it would renegerate alot of revenu but i hear what yall says about all voice and blabla.. people say they will come back but probably dont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're stable with 10-15k people, at best. Try 100k, or even 500k... They don't currently have the resources or infrastructure for that kind of immersion... as far as I'm aware. Sure, they can manage the software end of things, to some extent, but there's a LOT more to the process than most people seem to realize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
