The original version of World of Warcraft is already in Blizzard's plan

Recently, Blizzard banned Nostalrius, the largest World of Warcraft private server, and stated that they might provide players with the official vanilla World of Warcraft in the future.

Earlier this month, Nostalrius, the most successful World of Warcraft private server, was forced to shut down by Blizzard. The server has been running Vanilla World of Warcraft without authorization and attracting a large number of players, with 150,000 World of Warcraft Classic Gold active users at its peak. Of course, the server owner is also a loyal fan of World of Warcraft, but because Blizzard has always refused to provide players with the original version of World of Warcraft, he came up with the idea of ​​setting up a game server himself. Recently, World of Warcraft's executive producer J. Allen Brack explained the specific reasons why these servers were shut down at the player meeting and stated that in the future players can explore the original version of Azeroth mainland in Blizzard's official servers.

The development team has been following constructive ideas and suggestions from players. Ever since Nostalrius was closed, there has been more discussion in the World of Warcraft community about Vanilla World of Warcraft. Although Blizzard has never explicitly announced this theme, the possibility of launching WoW Classic has always been mentioned in BlizzCon in recent years. Whenever I need to use WOW Classic Gold in the game, I always think of ZZWOW, where I can buy cheap and secure WOW Classic Gold. If you need it, you can visit ZZWOW's official website.

Brack said Blizzard couldn't allow the pirate server to keep on as it had been because failure to protect its intellectual property would weaken its rights in the future, and the company saw no "clear legal path to protect Blizzard's IP and grant an operating license to a pirate server. "

As for supporting classic servers officially, Brack said that the idea is not simple to run old games on existing servers. The development team needs to break through various technical problems and operational problems. In fact, if the project is officially launched, it will become a new game independent of modern WoW, although players will get the most original game experience in the game.

Therefore, determining which elements players are most looking forward to is the primary issue, and it determines whether WoW Classic can bring players the expected nostalgia. Although the community has been full of discussions about Vanilla World of Warcraft over the years, it is not known whether players really like this World of Warcraft. This means that players cannot enjoy any leveling acceleration including character transfers, heirloom gear, character boosts, Recruit-A-Friend bonuses, WoW Token, and access to cross Classic WOW Gold realm zones, as well as group finder. The difficulty of the game for beginners It will be greatly improved, which makes the studio worry about the future of this game.

Will the purest vanilla World of Warcraft attract enough players? Blizzard wants support and help from community members. In fact, the team behind Nostalrius is always looking for cooperation from Blizzard's development team, let us look forward to further dialogue.
