Retired Game Master GM Fiddleback Posted August 31, 2019 Retired Game Master Share Posted August 31, 2019 I've read and reread this thread for at least an hour and I can't for the life of me figure out what the last page and a half has to do with the OP's topic. Can we steer it back towards that or shall I just lock it now before it heads into the weeds? Also, let's avoid being accusatory towards other people in the thread. Have your say, but do it respectfully. That's all we ask. 2 "No, really. He's a GM. Don't ask me." --The Entire Server, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boggo2300 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 In an heroic effort to bring the thread back on topic <pauses for applause> I don't see how Classic WoW will affect player numbers here at all, Of the regular folks I play with, only one ever played WoW and he stopped in about 2006... Honestly to my understanding (never having played WoW) the games are so completely different I am surprised so many think there is much overlap (and I remember on Live how every time a WoW expansion dropped all these WoW players showed up who had rage quit, then left after a few days because the gameplay was so different) 1 Mayhem It's my Oeuvre baby!

It's not like food, water, medicine, or shelter (which are absolutely required for survival). It's games, which are just entertainment ... and there are plenty of other options out there for that, without having to resort to thievery. 🙂 Precisely, as an author who makes a living by selling his novels, and has had his novels found on pirate sites, the people who pirate their entertainment, I don't care if it's just video games, can go rot in Hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either they are already playing Live WoW (at which point their time playing Homecoming will be a waste of money, so they generally won't be playing Homecoming anyway), or they were already playing on private servers of Vanilla WoW any way, which will only cause a partial issues, because it is debatable how much is being played anyway. As a side note, is it pirating if you've already paid for the product, but they are no longer delivering said product, so you turn to someone who is providing that product? Are you a Wolf, a Sheep, or a Hound? Quote They called me crazy? They called me insane? THEY CALLED ME LOONEY!! and boy, were they right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have these fools never heard of libraries ...? Or, get a bunch of friends with similar reading tastes. Everybody buys one, DIFFERENT, book. When everyone's done, "pass your books one space to the left", until you get your own book handed back to you. Plus, used book stores are still a thing. Global Handle: @PaxArcana ...

Indeed, NCSoft is currently at the negotiating table in talks whose goal is to fully legitimize that very server. All that does not change the fact that it is still very much the same as software piracy at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
