Someone Is Trying To Get World Of Warcraft Private Server Software Onto Steam

In a world where Blizzard shut down the most popular World of Warcraft private server and the team behind it decided not to open source it after all, one man ignored all of the warning signs and is attempting to get his Wrath of the Lich King private server software onto Steam. His name is post4kost.

Now, it's undeniably true that Greenlight is fairly broken and a Khan Online private server managed to make it through, but this seems brazen at best. Blizzard just cast Cease and Desist on Nostalrius and has even gone so far as to attempt to bring down Overwatch rule 34 content. I can't imagine they would just ignore efforts to sell—or perhaps just distribute—private server software through a major channel like Steam.

Most hilarious, though, is the fact that barely anything is available yet, should you use this private server. There is a long list of features on the Greenlight page that say "not available" right next to them. Working features include the Human and Orc races, the Death Knight starting area, "most" creatures, items, quests, rare boss spawns, vehicles, and world events, and the Dungeon Finder, albeit no dungeons are available.

Chances of the Greenlight page remaining online for longer than a day are slim, so I've included an image of the top of the page below.
