I can't believe Blizzard is suing Turtle WOW because their head dev went down to their offices and slapped the CEO across the face with his massive bear cock and went "Haha get a load of MY turtle" that was really weird, I was there i nthe office when it happened it's so strange how he just took out his huge cockpenis and ran it up and down across the CEO's face and a bit of cum dribbled out, idk why he did that

Good. Private server owners are insufferable faggots. When Nostalrius asked to be part of classic and got ignored by blizz after they took the information from the devs it was peak kino.

Actively profiting and paying an entire dev team using an active IP like Warcraft is grounds to get sued. They can win the court of public opinion by obscuring that fact, but, they ain't winning any legal battles. Should of kept their heads down, instead of actively provoking this.

all of the court filings are publicly available here https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/71235075/blizzard-entertainment-inc-v-turtle-wow/
Josiah Zimmer (Akalix) their community manager, is the only twow staff member in a US jurisdiction so hes basically fucked
in the documents dated october 14th he's trying to claim that he's never been involved with twow or has had any involvement or knowledge of the doe defendants (shenna etc)
which is an obvious lie and if proven as a lie would be liable to adding a perjury charge to him personally and would give more weight to blizzards case
the rest of them are either:
in the EU (meaning potential extradition if blizzard manage to get strong enough charges)
or they're outside the EU and risk the above extradition if they ever enter a country with an extradition treaty

>>723967243
Turtles fucking stupid because they not only ran the servers for profit but also RAN YOUTUBE ADS FOR IT ON WARCRAFT VIDEOS. 100% for private servers. But when you make money from it you're asking to get fucked by the long dick of the law. Plus their shilling on /v/ and /vg/ was annoying spam
>>
>>723967518
It is 100% them trying to generate some noise hoping they can get the public on their side if they can start up a drama/dialog about custom community servers like how nost's shutdown led to the push for classic WoW.
Won't work though. I don't think anywhere near as many people care about the concept of community servers compared to how many cared about getting vanilla servers back in the day. And unlike Most, turtle hasn't just been slapped with a C&D and are in much deeper shit that I don't think blizzard will back down on over temporary social media outrage (assuming any outrage is generated at all)

So, can someone explain to me why are these server owners being labeled as gigajew if the servers are free to play, no one is required to donate, and whoever does it is out of their own free will. If people didn't donate and just played the official servers the private servers would die, so what's the deal? How are some russians stealing players from a billion dollars company?

The High Elves in Tuttle Wow can be magic classes. Even though High Elves stopped using magic. Blood Elves continued to feed off magic after the Sunwell was destroyed. The High Elves decided to give up on magic and become lethargic.
I think in Wrath of the Lich King there's High Elves in Dalaran who probably use magic but they were cut off and are therefore different than the High Elves that were outside the city, besides this is all based on the original game. And in the original game there's two groups of High Elves and they don't use magic. They are allied with the Alliance though, but them fading away as the Blood Elves take over makes more sense.

I don't even know where the High Elf area is, I don't think they gave Silvermoon City to them. But then is Quel'thalas a place you can go into in Turtle WoW? I don't know because I'm not playing Turtle WoW, t has an online store and isn't available to play offline.
>>
>>723970324
in the real adult world there are things as business classifications that are legal terms that aren't your wordplay mumbo jumbo, if they are not a non-profit entity on their tax forms, they are a for-profit entity on their tax forms, you know they pay taxes on their revenue or they are operating illegally right?
>>
>>723970493
Wonder how come they are not hitting Ascension as well? Same thing innit.
>>
>>723970928
They have a custom starting zone and city north of strathholme but still south of quel'thalas called Alah'thalas
>>
>>723971091
Well, they steal fucking ascension ideas all the time while ascension steals their art (textures, models etc.).
Schizo theory is that Kaladin works for both
>>
>>723963740
I would ask why they don't just use all those resources and playbase to create their own IP. Literally all they would have to do is reskin and rename things.
But then people are only playing it because it's WoW. It could be mechanically the exact same game and no one would play it because it's not Warcraft.
>>
>>723969731

>>723971306

>>
>>723971673
That would be leading up to and shortly after the Sunwell's destruction. As time went on after the Sunwell is destroyed the Elves either had to give up on magic or find a new source, the Blood Elves tried to find a new source while the High Elves did not. Most of them. I guess there's not too much to go on about what happened to the High Elves since Blizzard mostly stopped caring.
But it just makes sense they'd give up on magic after the Sunwell was gone, because if they didn't they'd be with the Blood Elves, addicted to sucking up magic from anything.

>>723969159

They have Microtransactions pay-to-win garbage in Turtle WoW. And they even have the nerve to call it Donation Rewards.
I don't understand, because in a world of kick-starters and Pateron support stuff, why is this necessary, it's not. If they said "We are going to have to shut down unless we make enough donations" because would donate, and you'd have a lot more people playing because there's no microtransactions.
People fund unfinished trash games thousands of dollars, idiots would pay so much money freely to Turtle WoW. The only reason they want a cash shop is because they like the idea, "oooh yes let me see what I can sell for money hehe, what a salesman I am."
>>
>>723975019
They are thieves, that’s all. If wow was discontinued than i wouldn’t really care people are bringing it back with their own ideas injected but the game has a corpo still. These turtle fags were greedy and flew way to close to the sun. Their bad campaign was huge mistake and it didn’t help they would attack blizzard openly and mock them under their official game name

And streamers are millionaires from donations, they don't do anything! But if you make a game suddenly "Well we can't survive off donations for this giant WoW fan project, WoW fans who have given hundreds of dollars to Blizzard aren't going to help us."
Just have a menu in game that shows how much donations you need to survive each month, like many websites do.
And unfortunately now I see people online saying, even about Turtle WoW directly "Well you know I'd understand if they just did cosmetic microtransactions, I understand they need to survive somehow and that's the way you got to do it you know." No they don't, no game has ever needed that, and if they do they're a failure.

But the modding scene for WoW is about to explode, things much greater than Turtle WoW will come in the next few years. You'll have free editors. "WoW Dungeon Maker". I'd prefer WoW 2 over "Classic+" but that's never happening, nor is anyone ever going to make another good mmorpg ever again, ever.

Before the retarded retcon TBC made because chilton is a faggot who hated the RPG Books curated by metzen.
Many High elves survived, only one share of the population followed Kael and joined the legion, and Blood elves HATED Alliance and horde, they saw the alliance as traitors, including their High elf Bretheren, and the Horde as weak for not controlling true power, and both sides also hated blood elves for being corrupt, and the orcs even more because they are just as bad they were under gul'dan and blackhand's thumb.

people should read the WoW RPG book someday is better than what vanilla made in backstory.

>A court in commiefornia will do something to a European Citizen

>>723974956
Alliance players have always been upset since Blood Elves were added to the Horde, because Blood Elves were the sexiest race and Alliance players hated it and still do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoJd6541FH4
Having two separate elf races on the alliance is pretty stupid. Especially when they don't seem to be as unique as the lore would have helped them to be.
Blood Elves joining the Horde kind of makes sense. But it was mostly done to have a non-ugly on the Horde.

Blood Elves joining horde made ZERO sense because orcs hated and always despised blood elves for being corrupt fel junkies serving the burning legion in TBC
Blood elves were added because
1-Samwize threw a flip when he learned that Pandaren was chosen to be the Alliance Race
2-The lazy retards didnt want to upgrade their existing female orc, dwarf, undead and troll models with better faces, something the forums begged when other games had better and more beautiful versions of those mentioned
3-The superstar ego was high, the retards were literally acting as the Lufthansa thieves in 78(if you watched Goodfellas)
4-Warcraft 3 was abandoned as the Human Bonus campaign, just goldshire.w3x is what is left of the idea
5-The korea and china cope

I don't think TBC retconned anything really. Even in the original WoW game manual it says the High Elves became Blood Elves. It really seems to imply most of them became Blood Elves.
In the game itself technically there's twice as many High Elves than Blood. But Quel'thalas and Silvermoon and all that is never shown in the original game and it's hard to know which type of elf was suppose to be there at the time. In TBC they decided it was all blood elves.

>>723977567

>>
>>723977975
Orcs? Everybody hated Blood Elves. I said it kind of makes sense and it does. The Blood Elves didn't leave the Alliance they were kicked out. And the Horde control WoW Lordaeron territory, so that's why it makes sense that if they join anyone it would be the Horde. Otherwise Quel'Thalas is just maybe a total hostile zone. But in TBC it says the Blood Elves joined the Horde for the sake of their own survival. The Scourge is still a threat and they are barely surviving.
And it was Silvanus that convinced the rest of the Horde to allow the Blood Elves to join. The Orcs of all people would be willing to give a hated race a chance.
>>
>>723978139
the RPG Books were canon to the world until TBC was announced, it was literally their own supplement for the background story alongside fucking knaak books and metzen's own.
-Theramore and Stormwind were on bad terms, Stormwind called Theramore and the Western Alliance traitors for leaving when stormwind didnt even know what was happening in War 3, outside word of mouth.
-The obvious Thrall's Horde vs Old Horde in EK
-The first stories about the titans and their complexes hidden beneath the earth, one being the barrens one, which the RPG map expanded it.
-Western Horde and Alliance in good terms but in a neutral stance due to subfactions still waging war, like silverwing and warsong.

The thing is is that they made everything non-canon to justify the rape they did with TBC under Tom Chilton as project leader, someone who were old fucks back then and played Ultima and now wow, warned about him since he ruined ultima online with the PVP gear update and made everyone miserable.

>>723978139
they literally retconned the Quel'thalas peninsula in TBC to look that boxy garbage area because they were too lazy to add 3 different areas and make the sunwell isle as Silvermoon at where quel'danas is
now those retards remade the entire thing in midnight and the new remade area is so big and out of place compared to the rest of the eastern kingdoms that feels like a sore thumb, it is a huge area in a smaller continent.

I don't think this is a good response to why Blood Elves joining the Horde is dumb. It makes sense that Blood Elves controlled Quel'thalas and it makes sense they'd join the Horde after being kicked out by the Alliance and after Silvanus invited them to the Horde. Kind of makes sense. They could have remained as just bad guys too. But they weren't exactly monsters, and again, they're surrounded by the Scourge, they need help.

And I don't know what you mean by retcon the Quel'thalas peninsula, what do you mean exactly. Like many areas Blizzard originally planned to create that area, they show it on the game manual map, but they didn't finish it until TBC, it didn't exist in the game until then. In fact it technically didn't exist even after TBC because they didn't change the original game map they just added an instance to go to a separate location where they built Quel'thalas so that people who didn't buy the expansion couldn't go there.

>>723962512
fuck blizzard. they don't even have a real Vanilla. They threw away all the code and didn't even try to imitate it, like other servers have done.

the game is nothing but the same as should be, like those servers were you grab any gear you want from some npcs, get auto levelled and pick any professions, stats, talents whatever you want. get any buffs, consumes. then just go to any instance you want.

cause thats basically all it is. Everything is levelled up to the last patch, were they put in the last instance, Naxxramas. They down-levelled all the dungeons, the other raids, everything down to a dumb level. where it is simple.

other private servers tryed mimicing the dungoens difficulty, levels, and mob/boss difficutly that was there before the final 1.12-Naxxramas patch. And they did almost a perfect job.

Blizzard done nothijng but throw out a game with 1 patch, the final, nerfing patch, were you waste months on previous content to just slowly have gear leaked to you in simple combat to the final raid months amonths later.

SO blizzard doesn't even have the original game, they dont support it and shouldnt have any say so on it. It's bullshit. What they have out now is not, Classic, or Vanilla or whatever. They moved on to the daily gotta catch them all shit that it is now.

I hope they get Shenna and Crogge to the benches. Alas they are russian scum so wont happen. You guys are fucking retards if you play Shenna or Crogge servers and i have been saying this for a decade now

It isn't just fan work if you are making money off it which the troons on turtlewow have been doing for years. If it were just a pserver that doesnt accept donations or have a fucking cash shop (turtlewow has both) then everyone would be on turtlewows side. Everyone calls Skyrim modders faggots for trying to sell their mods but suddenly its ok when private server owners do it.
>>
>>723980858
I would even understand if they were selling their own shit.
But they are just selling existing wow mounts and transmogs on their cash shop.
>>
>>723979508
yea the pvp gear was bullshit and isn't part of the game. The original grind was degenerate as I've seen people call it. Theyve made it simple now and it's basically pre-naxx gear during the 2nd phase of the game. And prior to it, you could get pre-BWL gear through the same -now simple Pvp gear grind.

I remember playing it back then, and knew that pvp ruined it. When it came out, dungeon grinding ended
>>
>>723980821
Crogge managed to not even get named in the lawsuit.
>>
>>723980730
I heard they found the original code for the game, but everyone always says something different about how they made Classic. But also I know on their website they say they had to recreate some textures which doesn't really make sense because I thought that was all saved on the wow client.
Is there any evidence the code for the game in Classic WoW is not original patch 1.12 code.
>>
>>723980858
They don't even go after other long-running WoW servers that offer microtransactions like Stormforge and Warmane.
Why do so many newfags pretend TURTLE WOW is the only fucking private server accepting donations?
>>
>>723981039
He will be named in time. Or I sure as shit hope so, fuck that russian scamming scumfuck. I hope he dies to aids

I don't like any of the private servers. And I don't like Classic WoW either. And I don't like the private emulators that let you play offline.
>>
>>723981136
The admins sell other services too, and they are the only one to do it. Shenna and Crogge have had their hands in every character or gold selling scandal there has been in the private server scene and yet there are mouth breathers like you who will still to this fucking day try to defend both of them. I get it you like the server and want to keep on playing, yet you act like a 12 year old fanboy. They are scum and even as a fanboy you should admit it
>>
>>723980924
Even worst it isn't even their designs they are profiting off of.

>>723981136
They are all gay for doing it and blizzard is targetting them specifically because they currently have the largest playerbase and have been buying ads to shill their tranny server to a broader audience knowing people are looking for a hit of classic+

Blizzard really hasn't learned anything from the Dota nonsense.
Blizzard and Activision likely lost trillions of dollars after losing the rights to the community-developed Dota mod.
Now, they're losing thousands of players to private servers that are far better than the bot and gold seller infested Classic servers. (This also applies to retail, but Blizzard themselves are the ones selling most of the gold.)
Putrid company.

Kek. Why would they think they would get hired? They didn't create anything new just showed that there is a market for a classic iteration of the game.

You make a server of something that already exists and barely add anything to it to make it new and that mean it's yours now? Dota was an entirely different game with the tools given by Blizzard, this is just WoW with different hats.

>>
>>723981080
it's 1.12 code but there was different stuff that got nerfed as classic progressed from 1.0 up to 1.12. That stuff is missing. they only have the 1.12 patch and all the nerfed content which they make you play through with pretty much just all the last raids walled off from you.
Some private servers have tried to emulate it, from old videos of the game from back then during those patches, guessing what mobs where nerfed, what mobs were removed. and added it back. NOtice how noone hardly ever fails MC? Yea that wasn't exactly true, people would get to ragnaros and get stuck in a submerge stage, or the boss with the 2 dogs next to him, you'd have to get out to drop stacks, which is in the game but its so simple its not even hardly a thing. You might have noticed tho after that fight you have to stop and eat or heal.. those are the stacks which suprises me noone is hardly aware of and sometimes people randomnly die because of it.
>>
>>723983793
then Warcraft 3 and starcraft stole too retard, as diablo community to make mods
You faggots just want to eat blizzard sponsored shit
>>
>>723983241
The whole game has been changed. Every "Classic+" server and even ones that don't consider themselves that always modify the game instead of just adding to it. If they just added new areas and items it would be "+" but instead they change spells, they change experience points, change animations, they change monster damage and health, anything they can get their grubby hands on they will change and pretend to be game developers. They have no mother-loving respect for the game.
All they have to do is finish the unfinished areas. Which does also eventually include Outlands and Northrend, and then something for Catacylsm, since those were the only three expansions originally planned and hinted at from the beginning and the story really concludes there. They clearly ran out of ideas after that.

Retard.
>>
>>723983932
Well of course there's changes between the patches. What do you want to do? How should this game exist in a solid state. You have to pick a patch number. I guess you could combined things and make a version that you like.
And if they have the code for 1.12 then they probably do for every other patch. So in 50 years when it's all out into the public people can make whatever version they want. And people will indeed still be playing original WoW in 50 years.

nublizzard is a puddle of diarrhea but these retards are fucking delusional if they think their private server is in any way comparable to private servers for EoS'd MMOs or mods for one-time-purchase games, rather than the direct competition they actually are

servers like turtle wow make blizzard seethe because a bunch of autistic neets can make a vision of classic WoW far superior to all the californian liberal retards that get paid a fat salary to do nothing

its just a massive statement on how poorly run a game studio like blizzard is run. these people are working with zero budget yet can create creative custom content easily but a multi billion dollar company can barely produce something like SoD which was literally just asset flips and copy paste spells from other expansions and they complain about not having the dev resources to do more with.

and this is with a cash cow IP that has been one of the top streaming game on twitch for like 5 years. absolutely pathetic.

>>723990157
>a vision of classic WoW far superior
nothing says superior like turning sub rogue into a meme support spec that does less total damage than tanks (mind you, these are vanilla tanks that do dogshit damage, not retail tanks) and filling up some unused flatter section of the mountains into yet another quest hub for fetching bear asses

The Horde stuff looks fine to me. I don't think the Horde has less work put into it because of any bias or definitely not incompetence, a lot of things in WoW existed just because of lore reasons so it was all uneven.
Orgrimmar isn't as detailed and rich as Ironforge and Stormwind because when the game starts Orgrimmar was just built. Orcs have only been on the planet less than 30 years. Later Blizzard tried to fix unevenness. Then starting in Catacylsim they just went full on into Horde mode and the Horde became the most important faction in order to make up for the original game.

ok thats what im saying it is. 1.12 wow. Its not the vanilla experience. Thats not vanilla, it's just the last few months of the game. They don't even do vanilla so why do they claim they own it?
what i want is basically i dont care about talent changes so much as it was from release, but the mobs, bosses, dungeon changes, want that back. the pre-nerf shit, and do as the patches did as they came OUT. fuck just like i originally said and what i want is, what i was saying is they dont do vanilla and i said what-it-is. just 1.12 with everything else nerfed. so why spend time grinding that except for the roll of the dice loot pinata chances every week for months on end until you get to the real difficultly of the game. which then blizz wants to speed through on these re-releases and jump into the next stupid shit which isnt even wow (tbc) anyway. and hte people who like this seems to wan tto speed up to retail, where they do dailies and all that stupid cosmetic shit. which is gay and is why i dont play it.

You expect Blizzard to put fucking EFFORT into their games?

They are a part of a corporation sucking the last goodwill from the company by sheetprinting a bunch of similar looking stuff and being uncreative retards more focused on genitals then wars because it's full of California faggots wanting to ruin other game franchises and Blizzard is a revolving door for 'talent'

You could have put Troll wooden designs with goblin tech to make attack choppers for the Horde to show the growing tech. But nah, They made a similar looking tank model but wood versus the Alliance so it shares the same skeleton and animations to 'reduce workload'. They will shill the Orc archtiecture because they don't want to design creepy mansions 'yet' (That is for the next expansion to milk the trannies for more money)

Blizzard will continue to remain blind to this because they want to make profit over fun vidya and will ban anyone who points out how much they fucking suck

Kek blizzard might license you a game you already made OFF their IP if it was of no cost to them, they got most of the profits and the quality improved WoWs perception. But they will never ever in 1000 years let you make something from their own asset library and engine. Many games get a license agreement this way, by peddling a game they already have in the pipeline and saying “we can put a Star Wars skin on it for you”. It’s a smart move if you can’t afford marketing
