Blizzard Shuts Down Yet Another Vanilla WoW Server, Claims It Infringes on Their Right to Print Money
In a shocking turn of events, Blizzard has issued a cease and desist to a popular Vanilla WoW server, citing their exclusive right to milk players for every last penny.
Players of the beloved Vanilla WoW experience were left reeling this week as yet another private server was forced to shut down due to legal threats from Blizzard. In a statement released to the press, Blizzard claimed that these servers infringe on their God-given right to charge players $15 a month for a 15-year-old game.
This latest move has sparked outrage among the WoW community, with many players taking to social media to express their frustration. One disgruntled player tweeted, ‘I can’t believe Blizzard would shut down a free server that was providing a better experience than their official Classic servers. It’s like they don’t even want our money.’
Despite the backlash, Blizzard shows no signs of relenting in their quest to protect their bottom line. Rumor has it that they are even considering legal action against their own players for ‘unauthorized enjoyment of our intellectual property.’
As the community grapples with yet another private server shutdown, one thing is clear: the battle between Blizzard and the private server community is far from over. Will players continue to flock to these unauthorized servers in search of a vanilla WoW experience untainted by microtransactions? Only time will tell.
