I feel sad about this whole deal. I used to be a GM / Assistant Dev on the old Bloodcraft project and then later did work for the Kronos team. Pre Cataclysm WoW was kind of a part of my life and I always dreamed that Blizzard would someday launch a set of classic content servers that would be absolutely legit, non Mang0s, non Trinity fork code. The real deal.
What Blizz will be launching will be a product that's updated instead of classic but I agree with most of their change decisions and also agree that it will be a super experience. Except... I've been working on the Issue 24 build of City of Heroes that is 100% legit retail code and am a part of refining it to 2019 hardware use with correct multiprocessing recognition. The first test build is done and up and we're only a week or two away from finishing the thing.
My nostalgia for City of Heroes is so much stronger, lol. It's just been a really crazy month to take in the options for classic games that are a reality and discovering I just have so much time to play things.
