No one will ever say this for FFXIV.
Imagine being so insecure about WoW that a troony game lives rent free inside your head
>feeling bad for MMO addicts
Couldn't be me.
Imagine you live in ching chong and American Soul is your only solace, and there you go, you just lost it without any control over it, it sucks
Just move to Korean Seoul? I heard Lineage II is still going strong after all these years.
>American Soul
Yeah let's not pretend it's anything other than dogshit.
>At release and with the first few expansio-
Don't care.
Nothing about modern WoW has soul. It only has that characteristic from 2004-2008. It's been in a zombie state since.
>Nothing about modern WoW has soul.
I mean it's still pretty much the same game it's always been except now the raids are good instead of pathetically easy.
>chinks
>hearts
Why are they sad? it'll only be down for a week before NetEase literally turn the servers back on for World of Xicraft. All profits now staying entirely in china.
Yea except it also has better graphics now too haha
yup, wows dead in china. I'd even give that a try
Nuke the bugs
wow killed several gaming communities i was in
i can't wait for blizzard to sink
>Starcraft: DEAD
>Warcraft: DEAD
>Hearthstone: DEAD
>Overwatch: DEAD
>WoW: life support
>Diablo: D4 will make or break the IP
>Conspicuously dies after activison merger
hmm.
You've had nearly twenty years to prepare for this. Frick off.
Reminder that China did nothing wrong in this scenario, it was purely Activision greed.
The chinese company that hosted the servers wanted a bigger cut. Activision said no. Down goes the game.
Yes, China did everything wrong
You got fed the Blizzard narrative. The real situation is that Blizzard asked for 2 years of revenue up-front to pad their numbers. When NetEase declined, then Blizzard was like "okay then, how about we just do a 6 month partnership while we look for another publisher then?" and NetEase dropped their ass.
source? no? it was just the chink company trying to squeeze more profits because ccp forced blizzard to access the population trough them?
ok
Here's the source from November 18th before all of this shit kicked off. Dumb frick.

>sources say
>YOU DON'T HAVE A SOURCE!
>*source gets provided*
>THE SOURCES ARE LYING AND FAKE! BLIZZARD IS INFALLIBLE!
>Source isn't real because it isn't Blizzard
Holy cope.
Chinese sources have no credibility.
>REEEEE FAKE BLIZZ WOULD NEVER
Yeah ok.
so does american sources
>14 year old licensing deal suddenly falls through
>right around the time when Bobby Kotick would be selling off the entire thing to Microsoft
Yes, it definitely must be the chinese trying to change things up. It's definitely not Blizzard with all the dozens of scummy shit events they have gone through the last couple of years.
No more WoW for you, seethe more
>chink website
>source: trust me bro
trump should've nuked you morons
You're not saving face. No more Blizz cash. And millions of angry young men with nothing to do...
China did wrong by existing.
America did wrong by existing. Stop exporting 99% of the world's Black person/troony/SJW/feminazi/schizo/conspiracy/mental illness shit.
look man we want California to fall into the ocean too
It's arguably the fault of both parties to not come to an agreement.
>chinese source says westerners are greedy
lmao

>lmao
The offer that's described there is the 6 month offer that Blizzard wanted NetEase to accept, while Blizzard then could shop around for another publisher. NetEase told Blizzard to frick off after the 2-year-revenue-up-front thing, and Blizzard came crawling back to NetEase to try the 6 month deal, and NetEase told them to frick off again.
You chinks are even worse than Muriclaps when it comes to worshipping your politicians and corporations. Just shameful.
I'm from Scandinavia.
No, you might be living in Scandinavia, bug, but you are not FROM there, neither are you Scandinavian. You are a soulless products of millenia of rape and nonsensical bureaucracy.
I'm 6'1 with blonde hair and blue eyes. My official family tree book goes back to the 1200s here in Denmark where everything is meticulously recorded and placed into official archives. There's not a single brown, black or yellow in it. Can you say the same for your family and ancestors, amerimutt?
>My official family tree book goes back to the 1200s here in Denmark where everything is meticulously recorded and placed into official archives.
NTA, but none of this shit proves anything. People are perfectly capable of telling lies.
Get a DNA test.
Sure, but even today, when Denmark is the absolute most liberal it has ever been, we're still 96% white here. I don't need a DNA test to know with 99.9999% certainty that the records are correct.
>read the title as "...and other shit games"
I've been here too long
qrd? not giving these websites clicks.
Blizzard fricked up their relations with the Chingchong business responsible for hosting their Chingchong servers so they pulled the plug.
How is this allowed?
QRD?
See
I know that the warcraft 3 remake was a fricking disaster, but is that starcraft one any good? Can I just pirate the old versions?
Yes to both. The only downgraded stuff was that the portraits aren't as good overall, but that's pretty minor. The better resolution options is really nice.
>crying over videogames
Just get a VPN
It's about their own servers and their data, you dumbo. Chinese players lost 18 years of data and they'd have to start over from scratch on new servers.
Oh noooooo I have to play the game and I can't do my hecking late game raiderinos not like WoW shoves you through the game as fast as possible or anything
It's not just that, you absolute moron. They'd have to go on VPNs + they'd have to figure out how to process payment past the Chinese firewall, both of which are straight up illegal. Not to mention that they would then have to play on other servers in languages that they can't speak/write/understand, and on top of that with probably 10x higher latency than they are used to.
In addition to that, they would probably also have problems with things like customer support because they wouldn't want to help Chinese players who are playing illegally, etc.
You don't understand I NEEEEED that golden pig pet.
So what you are saying is they are free?
You could see it like that.

is battlenet working for you anons? the system has been shit forever I know but, this week it's been worse. Many connection issues with the client cannot even show the list of friends, or they appear deleted.
>18 years of data
"""people""" who play that shit game for that long deserve worse
Oh no, the "people" who ruin every online game won't be able to play a couple of online games anymore
>complains that they are ruining games
>cheers that they will no longer be contained on their own servers and will now infest other non-chinese servers
Do you have any kind of logic going on in your head?
exposure to chinks will only get more people to support chinese genocide so it's a good thing in the end
Statistically the chinese players who infest other servers will be a fraction of the total players because getting a VPN is truly too hard for most people to bother with.
Those aren't Chinese players, they're from Taiwan
is insect abuse even a thing
Nah frick the CCP, life is fricking hard in China and most but the rich can escape abroad. The only way you can live in China is escape digitally. I used to live in China and I feel sorry for these c**ts.
why are aussies in china and vice versa
Australia is the nearest western country.
australia is pretty eastern
What's with all the Chinese playing on English servers? I had to use an addon to block all the gobbledyasiatic in chat.
>everything on AH is cheaper on raid reset than it was a week ago
unsurprising.
finally the chinese gold farmers are gone
