Its not illegalHow To Play World Of Warcraft For Free!

According to Blizzard's policy it is not illegal to use private servers, as for some people saying that blizard will ban you, or that they shut down servers is incorrect. Only time blizzard would even consider shutting down a server is when a server began making profits (note: that is why on private servers its not - pay 20$ for epic gear instead it is donate $ and we will supply you with new gear - keyword Donate). Next point is the fact that someone said that they will ban you. Sir, please give me one example of someone getting banned because of their activity on private servers. There is none, reason being that not only is it not againts their user agreement but there is also virtualy no way for blizzard to know you are using private servers unless by violating your privacy. In conclussion, the use of private servers is not illegal and neigther is hosting a private server as long as the hoster remembers that he can not make any profit what so ever.

my views on the subjectHow To Play World Of Warcraft For Free!

I think the subject is up to blizzard, they made it. But the truth is that piracy is still going to happen and they can either fight that fact and make people start to hate them as a company, or then can live with it and loose just a tiny tiny portion of their income. If I were blizzard I would live with the piracy as a "trial" type thing to their game. If they want to help avoid it, they could try lowering the price to make it more affordable to the pirates. BTW, I love how u don't have to register to post on this site, thank you whoever came up with that idea.

Is there such a thing like WoW free and legal? YES!How To Play World Of Warcraft For Free!

In a way blizzard should just go **** it. BECAUSE! lolRemember that SC2 mod? World of Starcraft. That guy made the mod for everyone to enjoy of course. But blizzard ( like any other take charge ******* ) decided that we the public cant have a FREE mod created by the community for people like us to enjoy. So **** them. They have money. It's alright if we have a couple private servers. They don't even care!

i guess WoW really is a big as WOW

well said xamire... it is alot of work and costs for Blizzard, but they have their intentions and policy set so we can only shoot out our opinions and attitudes

it's dumb, i mean if everyone get's their own copy of WOW... why can't someone setup a server for free use be made available?

blizzard's EULA for WOW is really stupid and selfish... maybe if they were offering the game copies for FREE and make their money through Online Service would be fair...

but they are really making big time bucks on WOW, their most successful product so far

While I wish they were more free, and open with their policies (like diablo II was) wow cost blizzard around 800 Million so far, between upkeep,
expansions, patches, and the initial 5 years before the game came out in 2004. Now I know they have made fortunes off of it, but it's intended to
be a pay for service only video game. Quite honestly though, this expansion (cataclysm) is lacking for my taste, so to me, I simply won't pay, or play that.
Rather play things like Just Cause II, or something equally entertaining.

Still though, just because a company makes millions, billions, or trillions, doesn't mean you can steal from them, no matter what the company is.
The service only 15 bucks a month, and it's just the fact that they have an insane amount of subscribers - that's where they get their income. Between
that, and transfers / changes / etc. If blizzard had started out bad, they would have ended up like many other "dust in the wind" massively multi-player online role playing games.
It's the truth that stands out - Blizzard created an awesome game. Better than anyone had ever seen, or imagined. It was smooth, fluid, completely open world. These guys poured their
hearts and souls into this project for 5-6 years, before it was ever purchasable. Not to mention spent around 86 million in costs (just on wow) before it ever hit store shelves. (ouch)
This game was not easy, and not cheap to make - not by a long shot. And yes, now Blizzard gets rich, because they worked hard, and put out an epic product that everyone wanted
to buy.

While wow is their most successful, Blizzard has been making games since the 80's under the company "silicon and synapse" and they built an entire company from making gameboy games, and
a few Nintendo games (lost vikings). They were successful at making the first, second, third warcraft, and then surpassed that by making wow. Starcraft I, and Starcraft II are big, big sports in Korea, and many other countries. People get paid to play it, and they show it on many channels in Korea alone. It's the top sport there. Then we have my favorite - the Diablo Series. The Diablo series was
actually created by a company named "Condor Games" and they showed their starting work on the first Diablo, to Blizzard, to help them get published as a game, and on store shelves. Blizzard worked
with them, in collaboration, to get their project looking good, and to Blizzard's publishers (they had another company handle their stuff back then). Well when the first project was looking like a masterpiece (Diablo I) Blizzard purchased Condor Games, and renamed them to "Blizzard North". Just like all of the Starcraft, and Warcraft series of games, Diablo I was selling like hotcakes. It was the same exact thing for Diablo II, and now they're almost complete with Diablo III - which will be the new "wow" this year (hopefully). Although Diablo III isn't created by the main designers of the first, and second one, It still has that sharp
Blizzard's shiny polish, and the game play looks fantastic!

This company has gone through quite a bit, and still is very strong, because they're good at what they do. They have the best artists, coders, designers in the world (give or take).
Even though this company makes a ton of money, a majority of that goes to the stockholders, and they would shut the doors on the company if margins fell too much, even if they're
still making decent profit. We don't want that to happen.

First off, there is no such thing as "legal" that would have to do with the law, since were an end-user (and unless your copy-writing).
Against a companies rules is not the same thing as being illegal with the law. But yes, private servers are completely against Blizzard's
EULA - and they can, and will ban your main account on their servers for doing that. Private servers get shut down all the time,
because blizzard's lawyers go after them. Next time, it would be good to read your EULA (end-user licensing agreement), instead
of guessing. =)
