I think a lot of players most certainly play legacy servers because they are free to play. World of Warcraft hasn't been worth 15 dollars a month for years. A bigger part of it is because we enjoy the pristine versions of Vanilla, but at the same time, being free is also a big factor.

For example, I can agree with Vanilla/BC/Wrath were my favorite times in WoW, however, I would not be willing to pay 15 dollars a month for that content any longer. On the flip side, I'm not willing to pay 15 dollars a month for the live version either since it's crap.


The issue isn't with the game, it's with the consumer. I am 100% perfectly okay with spending $15 a month on WoW, because I know that is the only game I play. I don't play CS:GO. I don't play CoD. I don't play League. I only play WoW. Instead of paying $60 a month on the next biggest thing for xbox, I pay only $15 a month. That is much cheaper, if you ask me.

The reason I played on Nostalrius, or any other private server for that matter, is because I enjoy the expansions of past times. I never even played Vanilla in it's retail state, yet Nostalrius was the most fun I have ever had playing WoW, or any game for that matter. The expansion is what made it fun for me, not the thought "omg this game is free!!!".

Now I will admit, there are people who would not play on Nostalrius if it cost money (or legacy servers if released by Blizzard) and that is completely normal. Some people don't value the game that much, like you, or don't have enough money, or a multitude of other things. That is completely okay. However, the large and vast majority of people will agree to paying $15 a month to play Vanilla WoW. You know why? Because it is their game.

Vanilla World of Warcraft will work as a legacy game. Why? Because it's a real game. It's not an expansion. It's a real game. Most retail kids dont understand that WoW actaully used to be a real game. All they know are 'expansions'. Vanilla WoW can last forever. It's a real game. It's designed to be a real game. Expansions are designed to be temporary. Something you play -through- and move on. But even so, the early expansions could probably work as legacy too. Vanilla wow is easily the best game ever made and in ten years there will still be no game even close. Blizzard would drown in money if they provided it.

iv only heard of 1 guy (out of everyone thats posted/talked about it) that actually only would/did play because it was free. most legacy players are older since most played it when vanilla was around, making em at least 10 years older now - meaning they have jobs etc and 15 dollars a month is a piss in the ocean for anyone with steady work. So i doubt that there were many who only played it because it was free.

by "do the right thing" i guess you mean : ruin the chances of offical legacy servers in favour of some bugg fixes and the db with my char in it...?

Playing true legacy, old school table top D&D, hoping for future WoW legacy. Old becomes classic when it's good enough. Thanks Nostalrius!

The idiots that say we wouldn't pay to play legacy have no fucking idea about the trouble, hardship, loss and stress involved in vanilla emulation. Being able to simply pay monthly and have Blizzard provide the service is a fucking blessing. Paying 15 dollars a month is almost free in comparison.
