No one knows. Do you know how many devs are working Nostalrius right now (not since 2010) or who they are?

Yea, this is one thing that makes me suspicious of all this.
You know servers that support +5000 people with full anti DDoS systems cost way more than you would get in selling some odd mounts in some kind of store. There's no way that some mounts and non-combat pets are gonna cover you thousands upon thousands a month in server and anti DDoS bills.

It's incredibly obvious. Gummy52 is the man behind the curtains, just look at the forum backgrounds. He is using the funds that were stolen from the stillbirth players a few months ago to fund this project.

Let's take a closer look at the release video, in specific, 1:18

At this point, caring about Nostalrius being funded shouldn't even be discussed. Lets all play on the 28th and promote a good server, increase the population by talking to friends and the like. We will probably be informed about income necessities when it becomes needed. Until then, ENJOY THE HYPE TRAIN!

So, are they copying Rebirth's business plan to beg for donations when they run out of money?
