Totally agree. I mean do they really think they are losing much money? I'd guess a min. of 70% would NOT go to retail if the Pservers were gone so they really gain nothing. And do they need it anyway? I mean damn, they have what, 10 million players worlwide? times that by $15 a month. Hell, lets say only 1 million pay each month, that's $15,000,000.00 a freaking month!!!!!
If you believe that "leaked" Doc about Scape making $500,000.00 a month (which I doubt), that's just pocket change to Blizzard. I just don't get it....

Keep paying them your $15 a month. You just support their evil corporation.

hehehe, I don't pay...I am one of those "Evil" private server users

[Hellgawd]

I still pay blizzard my 15$ a month, just because no matter what others say, they still make and develop the game and I'm still using it, in some cockeyed form or another.

[Exacute]

I feel the same way as hellgawd.. And am also paying that little fee.. Think its only fair, since they'r making all the "hard work"

[Ground Zero]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

*Ahem*

This could be very bad news for private servers. Those of you that are rejoicing, do so in ignorance. This could be the start of the end.

That's what they said about P2P and the RIAA..

[KuRIoS]

to be 100% honest, Blizzard is just doing what ANY of us would do if we had a product that we had spent a lot of money developing and then someone stole it and offered it for free.. Just look at how u guys react if someone copies a thread of yours...

Also we have to remember that Blizzard DID send a C&D letter that she ignored.

[Malaki2030]

OH YA! ITS REALLY COOL THAT PRIVATE SERVERS THAT I ENJOY PLAYING ARE NOWING BEING TARGETTED!

This is great news guys. Really.

Great.

I completely agree with Kurios here. If you spent (possibly) millions of dollars on development of a game so that you could make profit, and some idiots start taking people away from your game with an illegal version of your game by stealing your hard work, THEN make money off of your work - you'd be pretty pissed off too.

I don't blame Blizzard a bit for what they're doing. I still pay $15 a month because even though I realize they're making monster profits - they made a great game and they deserve it. The next amazing game that comes out that trumps WoW will deserve it's huge profits too - it's not easy getting 11 million people to pay $15 a month for your game. Just take a look at all the games like AOC and WAR that everyone thought was going to ZOMGKILLWOW

Please Jail Please Jail!

The whole problem with this Bli$$ vs. Private Server is its essentially like the "War on terrorism". Bli$$ may take out a few known and highly visible privately owned servers, but there will always be the underground, hard to find groups that do their thing.

This whole issue, even the one with the glider program is bli$$'s way of making an example out of a few people. Scare tactics 101 imho, you take out a few big fish and the little fish cower in terror.

[Kirsebaer]

This is great...
I've never liked Scape.
Buggy crap.
