Nostalrius,一个拥有15万用户的魔兽私服近日依照暴雪娱乐的律师函关闭了服务器。
《魔兽世界》随着版本的更新而不断变化,这对一些粉丝来说是个很大的问题。因而部分玩家转向了私服,比如Nostalrius就提供经典旧世的私服。
以下是他的官网公告:
Yesterday, we received a letter of formal notice from US and french (sic) lawyers, acting on behalf of Blizzard Entertainment, preparing to stand trial against our hosting company OVH and ourselves in less than a week now。 This means the de facto end of Nostalrius under its current form。
As soon as we received this letter, we decided to inform the team and players about the future of Nostalrius, where we have all passionately committed our time and energy as volunteers。
Nostalrius Begins PvP, Nostalrius Begins PvE & Nostalrius TBC and all related servers will be definitively shutdown at 23:00 server time on the 10th of April 2016, if our hosting company keeps the server online for that long。 It feels kind of unreal, but we want to continue to serve our players as we did, and the best we can in the remaining time。
公告中,Nostalrius表示暴雪将在一周内对其和其托管公司提起诉讼。Nostalrius将在2016年4月10日23:00关闭Nostalrius Begins PvP、Nostalrius Begins PvE和Nostalrius TBC以及所有相关服务器。
Nostalrius - 号称拥有80万注册用户15万活跃用户 - 已经在公益请愿网站change.org向暴雪CEO Morhaime发出了请求,希望暴雪能够撤销诉讼,一天之内获得了1.8万人支持。
Nostalrius还提到将公开源代码及匿名玩家数据(加密个人帐户数据),并且未来会低调回归。
