“If people expect a server to ‘only’ have 3000 (real) players then they just won’t play and you’ll instead end up with 300, which isn’t playable. The problem with private servers is that there is no middle ground,” Gummy52 continued. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has also reached a rather paltry 18 million settlement with the company, which has caused its own controversy. However, Blizzard did tease the possibility of vanilla servers returning but, no progress has been made on that front. The state of California has come down on the company with even more allegations, claiming Activision Blizzard is destroying evidence and otherwise trying to stymie the investigation.

Blizzard claims that the server is a breach of Blizzard’s copyrights.Īlso, this is not the first time Blizzard has done something like this, just last year Blizzard Entertainment shut down a World of Warcraft vanilla server. However, his/her dreams come true but, they were short lived as BLizzard Entertainment issued a cease-and-desist letter just five hours after the server went live. Just last year, the Twin Cities experienced their top April snowstorm with 15.8 inches of snow April 13-16, 2018. This legacy World Of Warcraft server was run by Reddit user, Gummy52, who wanted to set a “new standard in Warcraft emulation”. While an April snowstorm seems like a punch in the gut, April snowstorms do happen. The legacy World Of Warcraft server in question is the “Felmyst” server which went live to emulate the game’s first expansion pack, Burning Crusade, which launched back in 2007.

Blizzard Entertainment has been supporting the game since its launch, however, BLizzard has shut down a fan-run, legacy World of Warcraft server just after few hours it went live. World of Warcraft is one of the most popular MMO RPGs in the market and hundreds and thousands of gamers play it every day.
