In early 2016, the same fans faced legal action from WoW's creator,
Blizzard, which caused the shutdown of a similar service.An outcry over
the shutdown led Blizzard to halt legal action and start talks about
running legacy servers.To get more news about

But
the WoW fans are starting their own server rather than waiting for
Blizzard's own legacy support system.WoW fans will be able to sign up
for an account and start playing on the Elysium server on 17 December.It
uses code initially developed for the Nostalrius server that, at its
peak, had more than 150,000 active players.
Since it debuted in
2004, World of Warcraft has changed through the addition of many
expansions.Legacy servers such as Nostalrius seek to preserve the game
in its "classic" form before most expansions were released.
World
of Warcraft is an online multi-player game in which players explore the
vast landscape of Azeroth, complete quests and interact with other
gamers.In April, Blizzard threatened legal action against Nostalrius,
saying that letting the server run would undermine its claim to the
intellectual property used in the official game.
More than
250,000 people then signed a petition calling for Nostalrius to be
resurrected.But rather than allow that, Blizzard met the developers for
Nostalrius and signalled it was willing to talk about ways to preserve
earlier versions of the game.
Nostalrius's developers halted
plans to release the code for their legacy server while Blizzard worked
on its own system.But with no sign of that official legacy service
appearing, the Nostalrius code, and many of its developers, has been
transferred to the Elysium project, which will run the server.
Anyone who used to have an account on Nostalrius will be able to move it to Elysium.
