New World of Warcraft Legacy Server is the BOMB!

I can't tell you how much fun and nostalgia me and my friends are experiencing on a new legacy server for Vanilla WoW.
I found a new guild and it is full of cool people from all over the world and guess what, we have to work together and talk to each other!
We go on dungeons runs together, exchange gear and help each other!! Like in an MMORPG!
Leveling is more difficult than retail Wow, but it makes you appreciate the little things that happen like a bag drop or a green drop. As a warlock the +4 shadow damage boots I got were thrilling!
So much fun!

Now we're just waiting for it to go off and close the new illegal server.
I do recall when they went after Demonoid they went after the guy himself and he ran to Mexico or something but I have no idea what Blizzard will do and how much effort they will put into pursuing this. They have the resources but would it be worth the bad publicity I am wondering is all.
Also there are more ways than one to skin a cat and making it expensive to keep the servers up is an option that Blizzard may secretly use if they feel they need to make a point after the open defiance this launch has demonstrated.
I just can't see many advantages Vanilla WoW has over retail. I guess the private server is free?
Vanilla = MMO that you need to group up and have skills to play.
Are you implying that Vanilla WoW took more "skill" than retail? Did we play the same game? Every class had a 3 button rotation. You did have to CC more often in dungeons, but the mechanics were far less punishing. The only thing I can think of that was harder in Vanilla was aoe threat generation for tanks.
To me it is the exact reason i skipped most of vanilla and instead played SWG/CoH... Classic WoW was a cripplingly flawed product to me. Others seem to have liked it but i never did.
I would not get to attached to it tho... If Blizzard can´t get to it... expect a avalanche of DDoS attacks from people who think that they are helping Blizzard and/or feel threaten
This have been a good conversation
I'll concede that grouping and raiding was a big emphasis in vanilla. But that was always more about getting enough people of suitable level and gear to show up and hang around for long enough than about what they actually did while grouped together.
When you don't want the truth, you will make up your own truth.
