Nostalrius Final Days

I don't believe it is isn't legit. Sadly nost team always was characterized of being quite secretive with its community about certain aspects of itself. I would not be amazed to learn they don't want to publish such legal letter or that there are more things under the table that they don't want to say. (about this lawsuit ofc)

[metrolol]

Does that mean there's a chance that all of this isn't even legit?

Of course. Not that I think so, but if they decide to keep this legal pressure private (when it is in fact issued as a public document if it indeed is a formal suit) then no one knows the truth of it.

A true skeptic could conceive multiple permutations of the "truth:"
- They were shutting down the server for another reason and just blaming blizzard to hide their motives. Worked quite well, supported by no response from Blizzard.
- They actually received a Cease and Desist letter, which could have been forged, written by a non-legal representative, or even without formal representation of Blizzard. This could mean their whole response to shutting the server down was out of fear, and they were never in any danger.
- Some one threatened the server host only, never the Nostalrius team. This means they would just have to switch their property to another host and at most change their name/ownership to avoid that host from the same accusation immediately. As many have mentioned, France plays with the US, while many other nations in the EU do not. This seems the MOST likely situation to have happened to me, yet they claim that they must shut their project down. That is why I reached out, to potentially read into this more and see if they indeed must shut down. And thats why I am also now very skeptical based on Doom's response about protecting their privacy.

What sort of privacy would there need to be protected that cant be simply stripped out with a black bar or some white-out? That is not a sufficient answer in my eyes, but it didn't come from an actual representative of this project, so not much else to discuss there.

Anyway, when considering all these things, I can safely assume that this project will indeed be back on its feet in some way if Nostalrius Begins and their property DID actually receive formal legal charges.
Its likely that they are just trying to play it low-key right now so when they relaunch it wont seem like they had that in mind the whole time.
Or of course they have pulled the wool over all your eyes, blamed something for Blizzard that didn't happen, and simply can't continue hosting the server due to the massive financial constraints they have made multiple threads on.
It could be all of these things, or none.
We will never know, unless of course they simply furnish any legal documentation they received from Blizzard.
Not too much to ask, to ease the minds of player's who have dedicated a year to this project, right?

If that IS the case I'm pretty sure Blizz would speak out about a false acusation infront of thousands of players.

However, does that mean I don't believe what you said? Far from it actualy.
Infact this seems like the most likely scenario so far. I just can't work out if this is the better or the worse one. Hopefuly through collective efforts we can work this out. I'm in SW currently trying to boost morale so that people don't go scattering around in different servers.

So... Pottu is still making sure the forums are clean... he just locked a thread that was asking for the staff to unban accounts for the last moments of Nost. Pottu also stated that banned accounts will remain banned. I honestly can't figure out why he would do so if the server had no future... even if they were planning on letting someone else take over why would he care? It's not his job anymore, is it?

Or maybe I'm completely wrong and overthinking it and I simply need any source of hope I can get...

Hi guys , im sorry to spam here i know its a little offtopic
I cant find any way to contact any of the admins/devs of this project, and i need to talk with them in private to offer them a solution to keep all running.
Im the head of a private servers team that are running since 10 years ago (we ran every single game you ever seen on private server scene) so we have a lot of experience on this kind of things.
If someone has the contact of any of the admins here please sendme in private or tell them to contactme to my email (they can get it from my profile)

Thanks

Thank you! You are the best!

I feel like I lost a good friend. I want to thank to everyone, both Horde and Ally, we had really good battlegrounds. If I am been mad to someone, please excuse me.

To the Nostalrius team, I am sure you guys left a track in the whole WoW community. Bow before this what you did, you guys will not be forgotten. I dont know why, but I feel that our paths will cross again.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others, stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts.

To the next time we meet!

bloody sad, even if I stopped to play here from personal reasons.
