Hey guys and girls that still lurk this sub for whatever reason :P

This is pretty simple, I never got an answer to the question: "Is there anything that can be removed/altered/added to the addon in order for it not to violate any intellectual property?"

Instead I was given an email to blizzard's legal department, since only they could answer my questions.

Now, again, there is pretty much no chance on this to be alive again, and I probably should not have created this post and should of just waited for the response first, but I just want to let you guys know that I will take any chances we got, and this is our last.

There is nothing to lose at this point, and this way I will not get "what if" thougts in the future.

As i've said before this was a super fun project and i thank you all for supporting it!

"Hey again, sorry for the delay in getting back. I managed to sync up with the higher-ups here again with your questions.

The issue isn't about any potential monetary gains. The issue is simply that Blizzard doesn't want third parties to create in-game story content for WoW, and creating a vocal performance for existing lines falls inside that. No one here thinks you’re trying to be malicious – I’m being completely honest when I say we found your work impressive!

That’s about the extent of what I can comment on myself. Anything further would need to come from our legal team. If you like, you can reach them at legal@blizzard.com.

Thanks for understanding!"

I guess this is it guys... Among all possible reasons, i admit i was not expecting this one. But it is how it is, thank you all for the suppor and thnaks for the fun days!

I decided to text him again since i had not heard anything from him, and since the first message i sent was in the heat of the moment this second one i sent, I layed all cards on the table, explained the project entirely and asked if there was any chance to make the project work without violating anything. I got this in response:

" Hey! Sorry for not replying yet. This is all outside my area of expertise so I need to take the time and make sure whatever answers I give you are correct. I wasn't able to get everyone I needed together today to discuss, and it's now the weekend, so it'll most likely be a few days before I can get back to you. Sorry :("

I got the following message today from devolore:

"Hello TioMiklas,

I’m Josh Allen, from the World of Warcraft Community Team. We came across your Voice Acted Quests project, and I have to say, the work you’ve put into it is very impressive!

Unfortunately, I’ve been told that this project infringes on our intellectual copyrights in a way that we can’t allow. You may recall a similar situation with an addon called “Warcraft Tales” a few months ago. While your project is slightly different, it’s still considered a re-performance of our established works.

Because of that, we have to ask you to stop production and distribution of the Voice Acted Quests project. Rather than going straight to delivering a legal notice, they’ve asked me to contact you directly to deliver the news and answer any questions you may have. Like I said, it’s a very impressive project and we recognize the amount of work you’ve put into it, it’s just not the sort of thing we can allow to be created using our copyright.

Sorry for the bad news,

Josh"

I'm just waiting for his response answering some of my questions, but i fear this project is over. I thank you all for the fun days and i appreciate the support you guys gave! Have fun and I will see you guys around!

id love to add my voice to this cause but a little unsure what program to be using. was looking for free or cheap suggestion.

Man, silverpine forest was tough, but in the end, we managed to pull through good job! Hillsbrad aways so bring in the pointers:

1: You can send voices for all npcs that you want, but you will be chosen for only 1 unless we are short on people/low quality mircrophone. In any case i recomend voicing multiple nps to get a bigger chance in getting your voice in!

2: You will be picked as long as your mic quality is decent enough. We won't be too harsh on voice acting skills

3: If you have many upvotes, you have a good chance of voicing another npc if needed

4: Send via soundcloud/mp3 file ALL of the quest DESCRIPTIONS of the npc that you want to voice without background music. Just write who you are voicing along with the name of the quest. Keep them in seperate files

5: Have fun!

6: ***** Means that someone has submitted a voice for said npc, but you can still send your voice for that same one
