WoW is leaked!!!! hahaha

[Harkdawg]

Yup thats right! World of Warcraft alpha has been leaked and the server is being set up as we speak. hahaha way to go all i have to say.

Just search google for world of warcraft alpha or leaked ull find plenty of sites confirming it.

[Gobalopper]

Isn't WoW an online game? What good are the files if you can't connect to the server?

[thomas]

the server is being set up by independant people for the leaked copies I guess

[Gobalopper]

Well how did they steal the code for that though? It isn't hard to get a copy of the client software since they are doing outside alpha testing but with just that it I don't think you could build your own server separate from the one at Blizzard.

[thomas]

I dunno I just googled it and it was on one of the pages

[Gobalopper]

Well from the screenshots it looks like they have some sort of server running. Not sure how much they can do with it though.

[Harkdawg]

yes the game is online only and server is being made for it.

Dont worry Gob they'll get it up :) , warforge seems to be working on it and they made war 3 and tft beta servers as well.

I don't see what's so amazing about this.  Pretty much every sought-after game these days gets leaked in the alpha stages.  Doom 3, UT2K3, etc.  The fact that it's WarCraft means that it's probably one of the most sought-after games there is right now.

the half-life 2 source code got stolen a while ago

[Jack Leaf]

I don't see the idea of stealing some buggy beta version.

[Khan]

I agree, and besides it just makes companies paranoid and delays release dates.

[Harkdawg]

ahhh lol, u guys just cant appreciate it, oh well

[Cyborg]

I agree, and besides it just makes companies paranoid and delays release dates.

Hehe, You don't think Sierra/Valve delayed Halflife 2 only because of the source code, do you?  :P

I bet they enjoyed the theft to get a good reason to delay the release.

However, I don't think they were happy about the code theft.

Anyway, I think it's a shame that people stole the WoW code.

An alpha version is neither worth stealing nor playing...

[Khan]

No HL2 was delayed no matter what. The source code leak was just a happy coincidence for them, or they planned it(unlikely).

[fremfedeliteNIAC]

So how did they get WoW? Hacked somwhere that had it?

[Gobalopper]

I heard that one of the early alpha testers leaked it.

Also from what I've read all they can do is walk around, there are no events or monsters. I guess they could duplicate some of that but again since its an MMORPG its very unlikely they can duplicate the real thing.

[fremfedeliteNIAC]

If i was looking forward to a game, like HL2 or Doom 3 then I would no way download the alpha...

It would ruin it when it came out

[Super-ness]

everything is leaked nowadays, even kazaalite is now resurectted

[Kiyouta]

Yer, ur right Dozy. I dont see the point. Y do ppl have to play it before it comes out? Can't they just wait, or at least concentrate on something else until it does. I mean.. whats the rush?

[Super-ness]

to play it before anyone else does

and some people are too cheap to fork out

[Khan]

But no-one can play it, there are no servers and they'll never be able to make one.

[Jack Leaf]

They want to show to other people that they are cool and though.

[Kiyouta]

to play it before anyone else does

and some people are too cheap to fork out

[Seal89999]

Really.....I see the want to look cool because you have it before everybody else but jesus your messin over everybody else...just friggen be patient and wait til the game comes out............

[Harkdawg]

ahh the negativity, lol  8)

You all got very wierd point of views on that ah well atleast im happy and afterall, thats what matters  ::)
