Nostalrius was a World of Warcraft private server which started in 2015. The folks who ran the server had reverse engineered vanilla WoW, and they had acquired almost 1 million subscribers. Blizzard shut down the server in 2016.

In this episode, we discuss better ways in which Blizzard could have handled this and the broader topic of preservation of MMOs (in their various states).
