150K active accounts will still bring in over $2 million each month.
I'm going to sound like a Blizzard defender here, but;
You're assuming every single one of those accounts will pay a sub to access it. Which they won't. Not everybody who came to Nostalrius came for a desire to play Vanilla, rather it was a high population, quality Vanilla realm people put on a peddlestool.
Also, consider; Regions. They'd need to implement a server for the US and EU Alone since they're in seperate datacenters. Then perhaps for the Asian Market. I'm not sure if Russians can access a general EU English one so potentially a third and fourth. And lets be honest, one of the best thing about Nostalrius was it was global. People from all timezones kept the server constantly active.
Yet again for all those people who might not be subbing in the legacy servers, there are even more who did not play on Nostalrius simply because it was a private server and were afraid something like this would happen.
*nod*
I believe an official Blizzard Vanilla server would be a smashing success. A TON of people have never, nor would they ever touch a private server.
