Nostalrius Claims Blizzard May Announce Legacy Servers At BlizzCon
In a forum post a Nostalrius administrator made an arresting comment: Blizzard could announce Legacy servers at BlizzCon. I thought no one remembered Nostalrius.
Blizzard's Blizzcon is on the 4-5 November, a month from now. This is the golden occasion for them to announce their plan for legacy realms, and potentially fulfil the dreams of millions of fans over the world.
Yes, Blizzard is well aware of the Legacy issue now thanks to all of you:
They know that the need is here with around 300,000 players signing our petition and the statistics from the survey we published (answered by 50,000 WoW gamers) showing that players are ready to pay a subscription fee for it.
According to the discussion we had since our official meeting at their headquarters, they now have everything in their hands to fulfil the large community request for Legacy servers, solving all the previous technical issues they highlighted during the feedback they provided.
As a consequence, if Blizzard doesn't make an announcement to honour their own core values, be sure that we will.
In the end, pleasing the community is the ONLY thing which should matter.
Best regards,
Nostalrius
While it's pure speculation I can still be hopeful, but only slightly. After Legion's enormous success I've come to believe Blizzard wants to kick Legacy servers under the couch. They're making money without the hassle of launching Vanilla servers.
I don't consider that a cynical belief but an unfortunate reality. If any announcement is made at BlizzCon it will involve the technical difficulties of creating Legacy servers.
But I've been wrong before, and I would like to be wrong again.
