I am "creating" a playable free mmorpg private server. So I don't see how you are majorly confused?

I went down that road years ago,had quite a bit of work done,a lot actually and HD died.However that was back in 98,a lot has changed,easier to get a lot of free assets/engines/tools.
Even still it is way too much work,if i hear a few people made a game,i know 100% for fact it has no chance at being a Triple A game.Heck i don't consider anything right now to be triple A ,too many facets are missing in designs and most of the designs are instances or just super cheap/low end graphics.
So you need to use free assets and a lot to get anywhere.Even after all the assets and sound files,music files,zones/zonal properties etc etc,you still have the daunting task of sub programs and depth of system programming,just way too much work.
Just because i say and know how much work a quality mmorpg is to make doesn't mean i am giving any developer a free pass,i still expect triple A effort if you plan on taking money from us.
Here is a hint,the most successful mmorpg imo is a pile of rubbish,so that tells you where i think the industry stands when comes to mmorpg's.Sure back in maybe 2000 most of these games would be considered a decent effort but not in 2017,nothing out there is worth my time to invest years into anymore.
space games are miles away from quality,SC will never be a triple A game,mmorpg's are still close if a dev puts in the effort,TCG's are close but still need a lot of work,Moba's are imo a complete waste of time and will never be quality games,some single player games are also close to being above average quality.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I'm not interested in WoW, or an illegal copy of an older version of WoW.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

To add to what you said, I fully agree. Personally I don't know if I want to dedicate 5 to 10 years of my life of prep and pure studying of video game programming and mmorpg design, and then 5 to 10+ years and a huge chunk of my life to developing a once in your life project Triple AAA game of hundreds of millions budget; what I mean is I don't know if it is my life passion. I would've already been thinking about it constantly everyday and for years and would have been doing tons of research and googling and videos.
Here is the difference. The original Star Wars 1977 movie is still available and always will be. You can "experience it" again and again, as it originally was.
On the contrary, Original World of Warcraft (2005) is no longer playable or offered, and can't be found officially anywhere. What we now have is the modern World of Warcraft which is a terrible game and ruined and is a shell of its former self. And the original founders refuse to host or provide the original game again, although there is a huge demand for it.

I think Minecraft does make some sense, as there you have a blessing from the developer. I had a team of 10-20 working on the project, which taught me a great deal about leadership. I also did some of the coding myself, so it was my introduction into Java in general. I then got a full scholarship at my University, based on my portfolio (which my Java coding was part of).
I see that as an alright decision. You are building a community that has some value. With WoW, I see it less so. You are doing something illegal - so whatever you are building is guaranteed to have little to no tangible value. In fact, it may have negative value if you get a lawsuit. You would also (presumably) be working with someone else's server software, so you won't learn as much in terms of coding.
It just seems like a decision I personally would not pursue at all.
Again, I hope you would agree, thievery is something Immoral and Physical, such as in real life physically stealing an object or someone's property, or trespassing.
It is physically impossible to steal Imaginary Numbers + Line of Code. They do not exist except in the mind.
'because its not logical it means its not against the law'
(regardless of if that logic is sound by the way)..
lol...its like paying for pre-paid pardoning insurance for yourself

You're not interested in creating an mmo you are interested in opening a private server? Maybe you should change your original post to reflect exactly what you are doing.

I also think you might need to quantify this 'huge demand' for a version of a game from 2005. Where are these people? Wouldn't Blizzard be aware of such a group of customers, and wouldn't they have evaluated the cost vs. revenue potentials for reincarnating their game? You seem to want to provide a server for altruistic reasons. Blizzard is a business; they don't speak altruism.
Bottom line: your preferences doesn't magically give you rights over property that isn't yours. In some cases you can't do things to your property at your whim. (Try living in a historical district).

I gathered up all the info i could and forward it to a guy at Blizz i know , whos job it is to look into this sort of thing ..
Keep postin OP , makes it easier
Would be great to them start jailin thieves like you , Its nothing that 8 months in the GP wont fix
