Wildies Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Just saw this piece of new and though to shair it with u all..... It seems that after HL2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Painkiller were leaked it is now the turn for World of Warcraft!! The leak is about 2 GB in size and as one would expect for online play only! Rumors also say that some "l33t" people are currently setting up a server. Source : W2S Seems really alot of games leak this days.... /me thinking why this happenes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linked Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 doesn't matter who sets up a server.... ever play an everquest "unofficial" server? They're crap. Absolute crap. because it takes months for blizzard/verant/anyone to get it right with proper funding- it's even harder without the professional support team.

linked Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Trust me- Most of these kinds of games are handled server side. You might be able to play it, and it might even be fun. But it won't be anything close to the finished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugi Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 so if u dl it will u be able to play it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerworks Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Unless they got the server software (which I seriously doubt) they're going to probably just decode the packets and make an emu.. THAT TAKES YEARS!... Don't expect them to finish this anytime soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chode Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Not another leak... Software security is starting to seem as existent as the obligatory eskimo inside my computer :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chode Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Do you feed your eskimo with cheese slices through your floppy drive? :) sometimes....he used to bang on the side of the case when he was hungry.....so to fix it I took away his hammer.

ITS NOT OFFICIAL. GET OVER IT. Leakage = free publicity. Only a (quote unquote) "retard" would not get a game because the alpha/beta/prebuild is leaked. In the case of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Oblivion Lost I didn't even know the game existed until it leaked. They earned at least this paying customer because of their leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonik Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I'll buy World of Warcraft wen it comes out, no need to download it. I'm currently hooked on Final Fantasy XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sin-ergy Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I'll buy World of Warcraft wen it comes out, no need to download it. I'm currently hooked on Final Fantasy XI. FFXI sucks. I wouldn't go near this leak with a 10 foot pole. This is one game I will wait for :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preemo Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I'll buy World of Warcraft wen it comes out, no need to download it. I'm currently hooked on Final Fantasy XI. Agreed. So pointless in downloading something that's not even complete/balanced. And to make it even more worthless, there are no servers for it anyways. What a waste of bandwidth. I think Blizzard deserves our bling on this game anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sin-ergy Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 And how exactly does it suck? oh yeah, forgot to mention, that's a personal opinion. I was in the beta and I found it rather boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chode Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Increased marketting leads to higher consumer demands. Increased demands leads to a high level of expectancy to fulfill Increased expectancy leads to delays Delays lead to leaks. That and 2003 sucked for games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazgul Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 That and 2003 sucked for games Er... yeah. Last time I checked, it was an incredible year for games... Call of Duty, Prince of Persia, Knights of the Old Republic, Halo PC, Max Payne 2... that's just a small amount of the awesome stuff that came out last year!

Argi Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Was the source code leaked? if it wasn't, i dont see why it should be delayed because of this. There prolly aint servers to play on anyway (as already noted), so whats the point in getting this if you're getting at a login screen or something. ???
