World of Warcraft: Vanilla, legacy servers go back online later this month

6 Dec 2016

Elysium, the project that’s enabled private, vanilla World of Warcraft servers, is back online.

Anyone who was previously playing on a Elysium-backed Nostalrius server can continue from where they’ve left off or choose to start again with a fresh character. The servers will begin operation on 17 December.

The servers aren’t sanctioned by Blizzard, but the publisher did say it was keen to work on pre-Cataclysm servers itself. As a result, it’s unclear how long Elysium will be able to continue.

Best get in while you can.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
