We don't know if those pictures and video are true, but:
- We know feenix was attacking Nostalrius and other vanilla servers before with botnets.
- We know Nostalrius resisted.
- We know Nostalrius is collecting money for a better server. The main purpose is to be ready for a larger population. The side effect is a better DDOS resilience.
- Feenix gonna burn lot of their cash for nothing. Even in the unlikely case they would take down Nostalrius, no one would go back to Feenix again.
