Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I played on nost in 2016 but have quitted before the shut down of the server.

I am still using this super forum, but could not find the reason, why nostalrius has ended.

Can someone tell me the story pls.

Thx guys,
Flow

Blizzard shut down Nostalrius. They were threatening to take them to court.

Blizzard had the servers confiscated. The servers were located in France and after some time, Blizzard's lawyers managed to have the French law-enforcement to break in and take down all the servers.

A lot of people moved to either TBC or WotLK. The majority of those who wanted to keep playing Classic move to Elysium-Project. But there were some immature drama between the staff members, leading to the creation of yet another new private server.. Light's Hope.

Currently Elysium-Project has about 1k players online while Light's Hope has over 10k. Don't go to Elysium. The owner of Elysium is butthurted that almost everyone left to Light's Hope so he keeps trying to hack the Light's Hope servers and bring them down. Like I said.. immature drama from both sides.

Its a very long story, ill try to break it to the parts you should really worry about using links.

Nostalrius received a C&D letter, and they chose to comply & ceased operations.
They also started a petition, and in doing so, they have opened Blizzard's eyes to the possibilities of classic WoW servers.

It was kinda dick move for blizzard to do that.

Blizzard got upset a bunch of basement dwellers were able to make a more popular version of retail wow.

To be honest, they have to. If you do not defend intellectual property you can lose it ( at least according to US law ). If I was blizzard I wouldn't want to lose the warcraft IP over a few thousand neckbeards that still play vanilla.
