After only five hours of activity, a brand new legacy server for World of Warcraft has been shut down by Blizzard.

VG24/7 reports that the creator on the Flemyst server, which launched final Friday, received an unexpected cease and desist letter from Blizzard's lawyers.

Flemyst was set to show players World of Warcraft since it stood during the release of 2007's Burning Crusade expansion.

This isn't the initial legacy server to become taken down by Blizzard, soon after the Nostalrius server was removed final year. Nonetheless the core of Nostalrius was reused as part of the Elysium server, which remains active, and Blizzard did meet with the Nostalrius team to discuss a potential future for vanilla wow gold.

Blizzard is known to generally take action against such servers as a consequence of piracy issues on older builds. However, the game business has left other private legacy servers, including Flemyst creator's Gummy52's Scriptcraft, to continue.

Because of Blizzard's somewhat inconsistent strategy, the takedown, though not wholly unexpected, came quicker than expected and ended a four-year lengthy development.

There's clearly a need within the community for legacy experiences in World of Warcraft. Probably we'll see additional news on regardless of whether Blizzard will institute a legacy server of its personal at Blizzcon, which will be held on November 3 and 4 this year. www.igxe.com
