This server shares the volunteer spirit and passion for the game we had. “The source code will be first given to an existing Legacy project which we believe to be the most in line with our core values, named Elysium. However, the Nostalrius source code will also be released to the public in the future. This new server, like Nostalrius, will be working as a non-profit service to WoW players wanting the legacy experience. Some members of the Nostalrius team have already moved over to this project under different names. The Nostalrius team also announced their plans foe the futuew which initially involves handing over their source code to another WoW legacy project called Elysium. Vanilla WoW fans were already disappointed by the stance Blizzard had adopted for so many years, and many of those people might never come back unless things moved fast on the subject.” Why? Because there are many MMORPGs coming in 20, mainly from Asia and also including crowd funded projects.
So we decided to take the risk of challenging Blizzard regarding Legacy servers and lighting the flame of hope for one final burst.
“Blizzcon got closer by month after month, then week after week, and all the while we had a constant flow of messages from the community solidly supporting the idea of legacy servers. Sadly, we never received any answers to these proposals either. We knew that having even a single person from the current WoW Team working on Legacy might not be seen in a positive light by the Legion community, something we understand. “Why? Our only goal was to nullify as much as possible the impact of Legacy on the WoW team so that everyone could be pleased with the result. “Then, we tried to show our motivation to solve the issues from a different angle by working on mature proposals (studies, cost analysis, schedules, milestones, etc.), including a complete transfer of technology of our existing work, fixing the few remaining issues we had, official Battle.Net integration on Legacy to enhance community driven strategy and other more complex IT topics, all of this on a volunteer basis. But we never received any response to these questions, even after 4 months. Trust us, we were ready to work like hell on that, even more than before in order to help WoW team. “After the meeting with Blizzard, we continued to reach out regarding the issues they raised in order to help them as much as possible and to speed up the process of an official release.
The update released today by Nostalrius outlined their thoughts on Blizzard’s reluctance to communicate. Despite trying to communicate with Blizzard, the team has decided to release their source code due to the lack of response from Blizzard.
It’s been more than four months since the Nostalrius team dropped into Blizzard to make their case for World of Warcraft legacy servers.
