New Server in Russia or China

by magpiez » Fri Apr 08, 2016 1:23 pm

There needs to be a Vanilla server hosted in Russia and/or China on a "bulletproof" server. The website should also be hosted there, and it all should be owned by a local to that area. Essentially put the community outside the sphere of legal influence.

There should be a contingency plan in place for when and if the server gets taken down, a restored copy should always be able to spring up in a new location, and the end users notified to update their realmlist file. A simple batch script can be provided to do this.

For every server Bliz shuts down, 5 more have to open. That's the only way they will either give up the fight, or give in to the idea of hosting a Vanilla server. This is really all about supply vs demand. There is a great demand for Vanilla gaming and Bliz is not supplying it. Personally I feel they may actually recognize the need for Vanilla some day, but until then, we should work smarter not harder.

We should build a VPS server running MaNGOS and host on a Russian bulletproof host. Migrating the user account data would be a bonus. I would be willing to contribute the initial setup and some donation money to kick start this.
