Felmyst, as Kotaku UK explained after June, would be a World of Warcraft legacy server created to bring back the sport as it was in the days of The Burning Crusade. Work on the project "spanned years in today's world," its website said, to "produce an extensive and satisfying World of Warcraft experience" which was true to 2004. And it looks like it was conducting a pretty good job from it: "Tough, but form of nice" without the many refinements of contemporary WoW, as being the site place it. But Blizzard has brought a rather harsh stance against unofficial servers recently, as we've seen in episodes such as the Nostalrius/Elysium kerfuffle, which is also been the end result here: On the same day it moved from Buy Warmane Gold beta testing to full release, in accordance with Ars Technica, Felmyst creator Gummy52 took it offline following receipt of the cease-and-desist letter from Blizzard. Gummy52 acknowledged inside a message that's now occupying felmyst.com the letter didn't come as a whole surprise. "I began this project roughly four years ago and not too long ago when Blizzard began doing so more seriously it weighed heavily on me as not merely was I already heavily invested into your work but others around me were also. Because of my health situation I wasn't within a position to cut losses you need to over on something more important, at the very least not an issue that would take four years to create," he wrote. "Last year's news of the items Blizzard was doing came in the absolute worst time for me personally, frankly, considering the variety of years already invested." That "health situation," he explained, is muscular dystrophy, that they has up to now kept almost entirely to himself. "That is the reason why I'm not in a position to pick up and relocate to another country rather means to host the server since I'm not really competent to live on my personal," he continued. "That can be the reason I've been capable of work mostly full-time on this Outland Gold project as I'm unemployed, though I have sacrificed a lot of my wellbeing dedicating everything I have to this." One on the reasons he gambled on Felmyst is always that he ran another private WoW server several years ago called ScriptCraft, which "was rather popular due to its time," he said in the separate Reddit post. "I'm not bragging, I'm just proclaiming that as far as getting Blizzard's attention goes, that it was up there. That project would not receive a C&D. So and need rest my plan were to try and be get rid of popular than Scriptcraft was."
