They do know they gave them permission to launch a kickstarter.
the devs said hes more than welcome to try his concept and hes more than welcome to proceed if he has the funds to fund it
making money off of others is what this world is all about now sry to say that but it is true
ya watch some of the video it tells his story ..or skip thru it
The Kickstarter project may succeed. But it's likely that this will have to go to Blizzard for final review. And then it will most likely get shot down and never see the light of day.
There was already a World of Starcraft MOD/conversion created (3-4 years ago, at least). Blizz shut that down.
If Blizz is okay with the Kickstarter, there would likely be something on their official page pointing to the Kickstarter... asking for their customers input.
....
Not saying this is the same thing, but most people that run 'private WoW' servers say 'oh yeah, Blizz knows about us... they don't have a problem with us'. Wrong.
....
Until there is a reference to this project on Blizz's official site... I'll call bogus on the support.
ah yes i really didnt think of it like that..but all n all its a cool concept imo
Its open source now if you didnt know. No one needs their permission to make a game like this anymore, all that they require is that its free. Which it is. Blizzard already talked to them about this game as well and enjoyed how it was coming along a few years back.
Is this a joke... Upheaval Arts was fully funded from this KS in 2013. The game is already available through the Battle.net arcade. Those of us who donated were given some interesting in-game perks, that were mostly cosmetic and pet oriented.
Anyone can play this now. Just don't go into it expecting a rich MMO experience. At most it's an interesting extension of the SC games with a third person, single player feel.
I think big kudos should be given to the group over at Upheaval Arts, they went to Bliz, were basically told "good-luck and develop with the tools that Bliz provides, AND don't expect Bliz to $$ support the project. Seemed like a cute pat-on-the-head type of response with a free t-shirt on the way out of the door.
The UA group (basically 2 guys running the show) went to KS, showed the guts of their plan, provided an Alpha as proof-of-concept, generated excitement, and produced (on time) EXACTLY what they said they would. RESPECT to these gents is all I can muster.
Most people that run private servers tend to host them in countries where they are legally all but untouchable though.
I imagine a Kickstarter project can easily be shot down by Blizzard for copyright violations. Guess we'll know whether it's legit or not soon enough.
My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

Ah, very cool.
While I might not have much interest in playing it, I definitely applaude their achievement.

No IMHO? Then you shot yourself in the foot. In terms of quality and control scheme it matches up to some fairly popular mobile MMOs and I dislike those and this but I am not daft enough to think my opinion equates to such a fundamental truth as being not worth money.
