In what took only a matter of 5 hours, Blizzard quickly brought down the hammer on a WoW fan-made private server. Trying to recreate what the World of Warcraft servers were like during the Burning Crusade expansion, many fans were anticipating the launch. Blizzard lawyers delivered a cease-and-desist to Gummy52, creator of the Felmyst fan server. Posted on the servers homepage is a message to the fans and disappointment as it took Gummy52 four years to develop.
Unfortunately, the company does not provide any vanilla-type server, but has stated it is something they are looking into. Several fans seek the "vanilla" flavor and feel the newer updates are missing the "old-school" experience.
"Our client's copyrights are extremely valuable and Blizzard takes this matter very seriously," the letter continues. "As you can appreciate, your activity causes serious and irreparable injury to the value and integrity of our client's products and intellectual property."
