Private Server Where You Pay?

[Bjfox]

You think there ever is gonna be a private server so good that you'll have to pay for it? Not the donation crap where you get like these cool items or these cool new features. No where everyone has to pay or you get a trial account like real wow. Tell me what you think

Never, Blizzard would destroy any server that tried this in under a week.

Blizzard wouldn't have to even bother. Nobody would play it, because if you get a server that good there is BOUND to be someone that hacks it, steals its db, perhaps entire core and distributes it freely. Or, atleast, sabotages the DB/host unrepairably with something of a DDOS attack or an alternative.

It'd be like painting a big red target on you saying kick me.

And nobody with more sense-than-dollars would pay for a private server.

maybe cuz that server had ubberleet custom shit

A project coordinated well and made properly, could indeed match Blizzard's content if not overtake it, providing a new world for people which they would pay for. Whether or not Blizzard would interfere or not depends upon how many people start paying for it, I doubt Blizzard would file a lawsuit for 20-30 people who paid to play.
The issue with blizzard is they made quantity over quality, 95% of quests for example are just kill 25 dudes, bring me 10 bones etc.

Well maybe if it had uber 1337 custom shit, still? Retails would be just as comparable.
