WoW Alpha Leaked?

[UserLoser.]

Apparently someone got access into https://12.129.232.213 (Which is Blizzard's private server [so i'm told and read many times in the past hour]), even a WHOIS look up on 12.129.232.213 shows it's owned by Blizzard Entertainment.   I guess there are 21 files you need to install, WoW Alpha.ace, WoW Alpha.cXX, XX is 01 to 19

I want... I plan on making thousands on that game ^^ and the earlier I can get it the better.

Given that it would have to be used with Blizzard's WoW servers, which aren't public, isn't it a bit useless?

Probably, people usually find ways to crack it and set up a cracked server though.

Warforge supported The Frozen Throne beta, they're already setting up a WoW server for WoW.

It sounds like "Warforge" is assuming the game works the same as Warcraft III, when from the type of game it looks like, I'd say it works more like Star Wars Galaxy. If the WoW server works like the Star Wars Galaxy server, it would take many months for someone to re-create a single server(planet). I haven't been following how the multiplayer is set up, but it's possible that there will be several worlds to choose from, and players can't make their own games. All games are started by the Battle.net server and are always running. Players join the game and games can have up to 1000 players.

If the limit is 1000 players per server they will need a few hundred. Also you don't have to create each planet or what not per say. One just has to program a single server and then have it customizable with scripts to create the different planets. More then likely how it is done on WoW. Anyways these are just guesses from other MMORPGs such as UO/Everquest/SWG/AC.

You don't seem to get it. Players choose between servers, each server being identical but with a different name. Players then create a character (usually limit 1 per server) and play on that planet(/server) and interact with the thousand(s) of other players. Your character is limited to that server.

The server will not host individual games, just 1 big world (guess, but a guess that's probably right nontheless).

I got that, maybe you misread my post? I was responding/adding to Sphts post.

Is WoW going to be pay-to-play or what?
