No, unlikely you can do anything about that.

But not everyone is out to get over on people.

My reasoning for warning people about the potential of having their login details, common password and email address provided to these services is because Nostalrius is a JUICY amount of accounts to potentially gather information off of. People often spend time hacking to get something on the order of 800,000 login details. Trust me though, someone has already realized it'd take very little effort to just set up some website and have a couple thousand people register their often common password, email account names and potentially even Nostalrius login details.

In my opinion you should be wary, just like you should be registering on any dodgy site on the internet.

right on

The persistence of these "project starters" is what angers me, alot.
They either have malicious intentions when creating those websites or are completely stupid to believe they can run a private server project by themselfs hosted on good ol' PC in my room.

People like Tanks and his "auxiliumwow" saying random stuff like, I quote "this will be #1 classic server "

Wtf is wrong with these people, really?

The knowledge of all our chars being released to these popup shady opportunists makes me ill.

This projects core and DB is priceless right now and should be held onto until this lawsuit is taken care of, and only given to the proper group who will truly carry on what you've started.

even if you fix a delay the issue of overpopulation stands.

That is very true but Nostalrius was nearing a position to be able to address that. The same tech demo that showcased about distributing the gameserver to several nodes that could manage individual zones could have also been used to potentially fix overpopulation problems.

This concept can be seen in the actual tech demo, the ability to transfer from one zone node to another of the same zone. This would allow them to introduce channels, and could be done dynamically when a zone becomes overpopulated, to give players the option to move to a less populated channel.

This however would be a controversial feature but would alleviate that problem.

To provide the ability to switch between zones at choice as places become overpopulated, they'd also have to probably write and distribute a custom addon for the UI and messaging. Otherwise I don't really see how they'd allow people a non-intrusive way to switch between zones.

Would have been neat to see!

Edit: This is also similar to how you'd introduce things like Dungeon Finder on pre-wotlk realms. You'd need to write a custom addon to manage the UI and have it send messages over a channel to the server which would parse them like game related messages and not chat. Nobody wants something like that though in Vanilla lol.
