Evil won
Will I get my donations refunded...?
all the private servers are going to get shut down, I haven't played on any in a decade or so but still.
>Release server codebase>A million chinese clones start popping up at an uncontrollable rate
>>737154678>Evil wonShenna losted thoughbert?
stop killing games
>>737154678Well? Why havent they shut it down yet? You cant even donate to them anymore so there would be no incentive to keep the servers up if they planned on taking them down.
>>737156274>all the private servers are going to get shut downtwo more weeks
>>737156279best case scenario t b h
>>737156279That's basically what happened with nost.>CEASE AND DESIST GIVING PEOPLE WHAT WE CAN'T BE FUCKED TO GIVE THEM>ok but we're publishing our source code and database changes since none of it is your property>now anyone can host a server with the same quality as nost
>>737154678Did the turtle have treasure in it at least?
>>737154678>Rogue serverIs this what we're calling custom servers now?
>>737162004There's a joke to be made about "rogue" servers affecting world of warcraft, but I'm not clever enough to make it.
>>737154678The chinks have already said they're not going to end shit
Reading the official wow forums and wowhead comments, it's mind boggling how many shit eating retail players support Blizzard in thisHow do they still have fans?
>>737154678I don't care for private servers or wow in general but it does shit me off that Blizzard will use stuff like this as R&D and then release their own sort of copy once the market has proven it to be viable, like Classic. Weird genre of developers leaching of modders for profit
>>737154678Still playing this shit after 20 years is evil
>>737163117>Weird genre of developers leaching of modders for profitIn all fairness, the trend was popularized by Bethesda.
>>737162536>Reading the official wow forums and wowhead comments, it's mind boggling how many shit eating retail players support Blizzard in thisIt's been that way for a while now.The forum is basically a condenser for the deranged hyper-fans that can't quit their wow addiction no matter how bad the game gets.The only people posting on it are people with an active sub, so it's only frequented by the most devoted of paypigs.The only threads that get traction are the ones that dickride the game.
surely this will result in better WoW service....
>>737166458Better WoW service?
>>737154678Is activision getting scared shitless about SKG?
>>737154678Evil? That's a bit anti-semetic don'tcha think?
>>737154678nothing happened, blizzdrones on suicide watch
who the fuck is still playing wow
>>737154678>dat feel when amidst the turtle outrage no one cares that stormforge quietly decided to shut down
>>737169476Blizzdrones love their Warcraft, Starcraft, and Overwatch.
>>737169542>moprip in pieces
>>737169392they sure are taking their time to respond. as far as I know they can get the people involved, but not anything server related.
>>737154678don't care, warmane for me
>>737169392Yet
>>737169392
>>737165960>>737162536As an outsider (used to play FF14) it seems like a bunch of series and the discussion around them eventually reduces down to that. Anyone with standards pretty much gets filtered out. Loyalty to a series or brand to an almost cult-like degree that seems unfathomable to anyone that isn't too far gone to acknowledge flaws. Reminds me of modern day pokemon fans too.
>>737154678still not playing retailnever will
Is it actually really over soon?
>>737170143GET READY FOR TORTOISE WOW
>>737159798desu he is not horribly wrongfew other big name ones received cease and desist, including Stormforge
>>737154678>evilNot really. Remember; private servers were allowed to exist simply because it's traditionally not worth pursuing their shutdown. Their mere existence is IP infringement and Blizzard is entirely within their rights to do something about it. There are exceptions like EQ1 and City of Heroes private servers which got tacit approval of the original publishers, but those situations are entirely different due to their own circumstances.
>>737170226>Blizzard can just make your Warcraft 3 CD key invalid when they feel like it>But the private servers offering a service they can't are the illegal onesIf someone ever nukes California I hope Blizzard are caught in the zone where they're not instantly incinerated but die slowly and horribly from the radiation burns
>>737162536all the normal players stopped playing and moved on with their livesonly the mentally ill bootlickers remain
Last time they did this they released an official WoW classic. This likely means official WoW classic + is coming soon.
>>737169726Yes. A lot of devs are in the US and EU countries where law can touch them, but Torta aka Sheena apparently isn't.
>>737170901>please perma meno
>>737156279Even tho there are plenty of server emu sources already out there? Like the one turtle was based off of originally? So where all clones? They've had decades to do it
I've been playing on the Chinese server, wonder if they'll go down as well.
>>737156279I played on Chinese TurtleWoW for a little bit and with how sweaty the Chinese are, you can guarantee that they're already doing this. Shit was so autistic you needed 2FA on your phone to be able to log in.
>>737171015yeah but we know it will be shit
i was paying for a sub for legion remix (the tail end of it) + played midnight for a month and retail is definitely enjoyable but it's not something that you can play over a long period of time because of the CONSTANT fomo it feeds you. it forces you to get burnt out and unsub for a while, come back, rinse, repeat. now imagine this buy 200 on sweaty private servers like this. there is only a fraction of the content too, so it's even more of a headache for nothing. at least turtlefags can take solace in knowing the chinese version of the server isn't going away any time soon. just like warmane.
>>737162536Blizzard fans were always fanatical but I imagine only the true zealots are left today. Then again properties like overwatch probably brought in a lot of extra insane people
>>737154678another shitty vanilla server bites the dust
>>737171015I fucking hate it man. All my retarded friends will flock to it and try to drag me with them for a month before it happens, even after how bad SoD was. All these people have finally, in the last few years, come to their senses about Blizzard being shit, but something like Classic+ WILL get drag them right back anyway.I just wanna play good video games instead of being FOMO'd+guilt tripped into playing another Blizzard turd.
>>737154678100% deserved for thinking they were invincible and that a multi-billion dollar corporation wouldn't be able to find a way to shut them down or dig up personal information on the team. I'm normally for private servers but I'm glad Turtle is shutting down purely because of how fucking arrogant those morons were.
>>737170356Well said
>>737154678Not Nintendo, who cares.
>>737162536>>737171507>>737165960Also combine this with people generally not caring for piracy any more. Lots of people will jjustify paying for slop with the rationale of "it's the same cost as a few coffees per month, so it's fine", so these people aren't happy when others have the same/better experience, for free. Doubly if they're GenZ and piracy just hasn't been a thing to most of them.
>>737171894I'm enjoying the tendie false-flagging in every thread lately. You really are capturing their true essence, I almost can't tell it's a false flag.
>>737154678>has developers in US>has developers in EU>has servers in EUAre they retarded? Who tf thought this will not go unpunished after nostalrius? After announcing everywhere about a remake in UE?
>>737173298they probably thought setting up their shell corporation would protect them
>>737154678Trannies lost again
>>737162536I support anything that rapes faggots that are still playing wow in big 2026
Turtle download servers are suspended
>>737154678TurtleWoW was retarded, buying youtube ads and rubbing it in Blizzard's face that they are the "superior classic+ server" It happens every time. I'm not defending Blizzard on that, 95% of my time playing WoW in the last 15 or so years was on private servers (just recently tried out Hour of Twilight because they had a week of beta build open to everyone), but at the end of the day you want to stay semi-obscure to not draw too much attention, especially when you are raking tens of thousands of dollars every month in """donations""". Or at least make triple sure your servers are in a country where Blizzard can never touch you, like Ascension does.
>>737171949What falseflag? Look at how no one gives a shit about this. If this were Nintendo related we'd be on thread 50 in the same period of time.
>>737169862>posted more than 6 hours agowell?
>>737175397It's eastern time (it's 8:18 AM right now)
>>737156274only the ones who monetize their servers.
>>737162004maybe it's tongue in cheek, turtle wow died because they weren't stealthy enough and started buying up ads on social media and kept responding to blizzard's social media posts.
>>737154678many such cases
I like turtles
>>737175397>>737175441they're waiting on a final dev to give the okay to post whatever they've writtenthe dude who said 6 hours max was probably just guessing how long he'd be asleep for or something
>>737175501kek
>>737175029That's fucking retarded, a server with thousands of players won't go unnoticed, they didn't need to advertise shit. Several other small servers have also been shut down by Bli$$ard too.
>>737176032You are retarded, because you don't understand obvious and simple things.
>>737170226They all get cease and desists, but most are hosted in countries like russia for the sole purpose of being immune to copyright. Only retarded private servers host in the us or the eu regions and they and their players get fucked over.
>>737162536>it's mind boggling how many shit eating retail players support Blizzard in thisIt really isn't, their whole life is shilling wow for free so their eternal account and the game doesn't get shut down. MMOfags are pathetic insect that are forcing themselves to play doshit games because of the sunk cost fallacy. How many times do you hear these faggots say:>I've had an account for the last 20 years, why would I play a private serverThis is why they seethe at classic seasonal realms too.
>>737154678why would they agree?
>>737156279>splinter the wow classic population into a 100 different servers>chinese p2w only serversyou're not thinking this through
okay but how is Ascension okay? are they actually in Russia? IS ANYONE NOT IN THE FUCKING USA/EU?
>>737169842>You can't imagine the stress>"OH NO! THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY ACTIONS!"
>>737177813Russia or something like that servers, yeah. Also, I believe they are a bit less on a radar because their version of the game is so different with focus on classless build crafting, and even their supposed "classic+" server is more like Cata+ retail experience. With all that they are less of a direct competition to whatever Blizzard wants to do with their future servers.
>>737175501My fucking sides.
when will private servers learn you can't monetize them if you want to stay open
>>737178436They don't stay open if you don't monetize them
>>737178472Why? Is running a server really that expensive?
I'm a bit confused. How do I transfer my character to a different server?
>>737178472the streamer ninja funded a final fantasy 11 private server, just get some rich guy to pay for the hosting.
>>737169542upload the server files bozo
>>737154678>Shitzzard when they attack their own players and steal their shit to add it in their game down the line while doing nothing to save itThey should have slowed down with the "donation"
>>737178539>ESLnon-monetized servers get shut down the same as monetized ones
>>737162536There are people on that site with probably more posts any of us have every made on 4chan. combined. tens of thousands of posts, truly devoted slaves
>>737178842that guys sentence was perfectly fine, why are you calling him an esl?
>>737178540
>>737162536They're bots
>>737169862it has now been 6 hours
>>737154678We all knew blizzard would stomp the turty as soon as they could.
>>737154678>roguewhy are kike journos allowed to slander people like this without repercussion
more like Turdle WOW

doombros... we won
kek what happened to "we're hosted somewhere the USA cannot get to us"???
>>737184119HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
>>737154678>retailfags are celebrating>they still pay for monthly sub>also pay for digital dress up>and tip money for digital mounts>not to mention the game has the same repeating strategy since 2008>if Blizzard made a fountain that spews cum retailfags would be gulping downEh.. I never got into turtleWoW but I still don't get how people play retail, it feels like people are in it for the investment in it. Like a gacha game. It's gonna hurt like a son of a bitch when blizz closes the servers-
>>737184119this was the obvious outcome but imagine playing on there for 8 years and then it shuts down, holy shit. that's gotta be devastating for those players.
>>737184119>taking donation on someone else IP retards deserved blizzard skullfucking them. what a lovely day.
>>737184119So much for being out of blizzard legal reach. Hope they at least upload their server side so less retarded people can scoop it up.
>>737177813Ascension is literally Blizzard's serverThey are probably singing this Because Dutch is getting all of the assets backstage from Shennahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opRRax4ph3E
>>737177813I think the problem is Ascension is so far out there with their retarded bullshit that blizzard doesn't give a shit about them, Nobody's going to look at their custom content and say they are better than blizzard.
>>737184843I dunno senpai. They promised wotlk this year and they've been pushing it and only updating one server. They been slacking or gave up on updates since blizz might go after them. I don't get why they don't just move servers to somewhere outside the US.
>>737184119trannysisters....
>>737184245Microsoft lawyers handed the devs a fat cheque to fuck off
>>737185123US and EU are pretty big chunk of population adn they will bitch and moan of they have 100+ ping to Russia or some whaeverstan.
>>737169542>positive discussionSo they were paid to fuck off then.
>>737184119Good riddance.
>>737184119they needed almost a week for that shitty cookie-cutter reply? patheticat least hint that you release the source code or some shit instead it's just cya sudoku
>>737185258yeah, people won't stay on a server that feels bad to play on. the parsetrannies and pvpers that would be at a disadvantage won't stick around either, if they even make it through leveling once some latency issue kills their big aoe pull in SM or something.
>>737185504There's no way shenna is going to release shit, she's going to move on to the next project to grift more money from it or just disappear with everything.
>>737154678>rogue serverdevs were heavily biased towards paladin actually
>>737184843I like their draft server. It's fun to do a 1-60 run every once in a while. they make a lot of money just selling blizzard retail mounts and armor cosmetics.
>>737185504>same closure date as stormforgeBlizz just threw few mil at them to go away.
>>737156224
>>737185123Their WotLK is still custom content classless WoW, so it's not a 1:1 alternative to something like official WotLK Classic server.
>put ads of your wow private server on youtube whilst saying blizzard won't do shit>blizzard actually does shitwhat was the plan here?
>>737154678Good, fuck Russia
>>737154678Based.
>>737184062And every citizen on the CCP leash, Xi dont want you doing anything he doesnt know or cant 100% control.
>>737186509Blizzard has tried to take down Twow like a dozen times beforeMy bet is this time they offered the devs more money than they'd ever make off running the servers
>>737184119OWARI DA
>>737186673>My bet is this time they offered the devs more money than they'd ever make off running the serversThat's what Nintendo did to take Ryujinx down iirc.
>>737184245they can get 90% of the guys behind the server. I think only torta aka sheena is safe.
>>737186673Buying someone off is the most effective way to make the problem go away, everyone has a price and blizzard can easily throw 5-10m at a problem without batting an eye.
>>737185592come on now anon, it's hard to call someone a grifter after they ran a server for 8 years with addons written for the server plus a bunch of content updates that included new dungeons/raids/regions. i don't what shenna torta or whoever did before turtle wow, but you can't deny that the current team was committed to the server.
>>737186509they got too big and thought themselves untouchable. nostalrius was just naively optimistic in comparison.
>>737154678Nu-blizzard is fucking stupid but you know who's even stupider? Retards that donated to Turtle WoW
>>737186870they don't even need that much, like $200k and not having blizzard suing your ass for years is probably enough because you're up $200k instead of being down money on lawyer fees and you don't have to waste time on the court hearings.
>>737186763>brazilian devKKKKKK
