I played Nostralrius. In fact, I was grouped and/or guilded with some p99 people during that time. It was a good time.

Beneath this line will be a lot of Wow stuff. Avoid.

R.I.P. Nostalrius. Good server.

Pras to another chapter of Charles Bronson

Played on Nost since launch and yes it was JUST a cease and desist. Many servers before them have received the same and just wiped their butt with it and went to a new host.

Nost and their host are basically just rolling over and playing dead but what can you expect from the French... sigh..

Guess I'll have to wait and see what happens with Pantheon.

WoW is kill. They don't even release their subscription #'s anymore. The dogshit they have now is simply unplayable.

Surprised they're folding over one C&D. There must be more to that.

Server was fun for a little while - light years moreso than live WoW is. I was suckered into dishing out $50+ for WoD to try it again last year, and the game is bloated on-rails garbage now.

Even on the classic servers, it's hard for me not to consider what WoW PvP could have been had they not walled-off players from eachother with instanced content. Always preferred EQ's player-driven economy over WoW's automated AH, too.

What I was hoping for was pure vanilla experience. Nostalrius mostly delivered aside from client issues (which I completely understand). An example of this would be uh.. talent trees. Druids should not have hurricane as a spell, but the bottom talent of balance, classically(vanillaly). As far as content release, they should have released warsong gulch and alterac valley before arathi basin. You shouldn't have access to battlemasters in cities for a long time. One of my favorite 'emergent gameplay' WoW experiences was southshore vs tarren mill, with people having to queue for Alterac Valley in Hillsbrad.

I can type 10000 more words by request.

I agree that the battlemasters were a big negative, as they took away from the world pvp and added more to the isolated instance feel of it all. On vanilla, I played on RPVP servers Emerald Dream and Lightninghoof. We did a lot of world pvp on those servers, but it was always hard to keep it going in large part due to "dishonorable kills" and the way they were shared across a whole raid. I'm not even sure how much they affected our ranking, but when people would see those Dishonorable Kills, they would hearthstone and log out. DK's are a major flaw in vanilla WoW, imo.

We had some huge world pvp battles after the announcement the other night. Horde massed at the gates of Stormwind, and we battled back and forth for hours. Now the city is covered in player corpses.

Lune can't you pull the numbers from their financials?

That's how I always did it. But you are right, there are no press releases on numbers. If you wanted numbers you could always peak at the financial statement and reverse engineer it.

Its a publicly traded company.

Corecraft is on the horizon as the "NEXT BIG THING" in WoW emulation.

Check it out. Its a different flavor than vanilla though.

New TBC server opening up Thursday, the 14th. I'll be playing there with some friends and I think my old nost guild. Its a BC server focused on BC content, the classic raids aren't working afaik and might not even be available to zone in to. Can choose to start at 60 or 1.
