Home News MMO World Of Warcraft Blizzard takes legal action against the largest Vanilla WoW private server
By Angus Morrison published 7 April 16
Blizzard has launched legal action against World of Warcraft's biggest and, arguably, best private server, Nostalrius. Nostalrius is a Blizz-like Vanilla WoW server (in PvP and PvE varieties)-it mimics the original World of Warcraft (opens in new tab) as closely as it can The main difference is its capacity to accommodate more than 11,000 concurrent users. It is a phenomenal achievement that will be dark from April 10.
"Yesterday, we received a notice of formal notice from US and french lawyers, acting on behalf of Blizzard Entertainment, who are preparing to appear in court against our hosting company OVH and ourselves in less than a week now," the dev team sends (opens in new tab). "This is the definitive end to Nostalrius in its current state."
It's a tragedy to me, compounded by the fact Nostalrius doesn’t have a leg. Unlike some private servers, Nostalrius never charged a dime, but World of Warcraft is ActiBlizzard's property and that's that when it comes to the legal aspect goes.
Nostalrius is an artifact from the past: a beautifully nostalgic record of what a living world used to look like. It's a museum project that passionate fans created without official alternatives. The Nostalrius developers haven't given up, though.

"We will continue to publicly offering everything you need to create your own "Nostalrius" if you are willing to do so," the post continues. "Today is also the day that Nostalrius will become a community-driven service in the fullest sense in that we will be releasing the source code and anonymized player data (encrypting personal account information), so the community as a whole will determine the shape of the future of Nostalrius. We will still be there in the background if you would like us to, but will no longer take the lead."
They also petition Blizzard (opens new tab) to ensure the survival of the server. The petition currently has 20,000 signatures at the time of writing. Barring a miraculous change of heart however, Nostalrius will disappear at 23:00 CET+1, April 10.
