That being said, I don't blame them at all for shutting down Nostalrius, and I also agree that they should've expected it. Also, you probably knew, but owning your personal server is completely against the ToS, and for that, they have every right to shut down any server, no matter what it takes to do it. It's illegal, even if it's Vanilla WoW). When they say 'private servers', they mean every single one, including Nostalrius (They're all a download and play without no monthly pay which is not under Blizzard's legal ToS. Ever since that date of time, the community grew to an astounding number.Īnother final point I'd like to reach.
Therefore, one of Blizzard's huge concerns is that it grew rapidly when it was released last year. Nostalrius was only giving players the chance to experience what Vanilla WoW was like. Firstly, and I'd like to get to this point, actually.
My personal thoughts are probably what Blizzard were thinking when they managed to shut Nostalrius down. Hey! (I apologise for the extremely late response).
