Has Blizzard Actually Taken Action Against Any Server?

Blizzard might make it so you can't change your realmlist, making it unable to join a Server

Yes... against WoWScape

People hate wowscape, but they used to really be *******s, they've gotten better, but not so much imo. Anyway, thanks for the fast replies. Basically it seems if you don't have thousands of members, Blizzard doesn't even know you exist?

There's always a way.
In order for an online game to work, You have to send and receive information from a host, And the only way to do that is by embedding the signal in a file, being a realmlist. The only thing they can do is change the file type, and someone always finds a way

the only servers blizzard should care about is the big servers who acctually makes money on running something they used years to set together, thats why they are angry, but I read a place that 11 millions of peoples played wow, so only few of them play private server. They make so much money they do not need to care about peoples running servers private. Anyway they cant stop it^^

That would be gay. Blizz vs private servers. What's next? Blizz vs the Cookie Monster?

I highly doubt that! If Blizzard by some wierd reason wanted your server gone, they'd do it legaly! Not by hacking!

wowscape won becuz they were not making profit from it... simple as that...
and about blizz vs ps
they dont care, they cant stop private servers anyway... (they cant stop emulator development cuz the emulators are legal... (mangos = learning project, ascent = normal program not specific designed to emulate wow, something like that)
so they cant stop the source and hey, try stopping millions of private servers while knowing if you stop 100000 today then tomorow there will be 500000 new ones rofl! (numbers are not facts, just to clear things up)

They're like, Vampires, who feed off of your coinage, They're a multi billion dollar corporation, Emulation isn't even a speck on their radar screen, nor is it any viable threat to them, They're just in it for the money.

I really hate when people say crap like that. No crap a company is in the market to make money. Sure, you could say they're in it to make a great game, but a great game (if it is actually a great game) creates great revenue.
