So for the past two weeks we have went through something extraordinary, a private server of an old game was shut down, hundreds of thousands of people rose up as a result and spent hours and hours of their time to make sure that it does not die in vain.
Nostalrius stood for something meaningful, something beautiful, and we fought for its legacy valiantly. Leaders emerged in this process, Mark, Soda among many.
Today, this movement like many real life revolutions reached a crucial point, for both us and Blizzard. Its the climax, the turning point, the decisive battle.
Usually, the people demand justice, something to be preserved, or a change in a policy, in this case we want Legacies servers, preferably ran by Nostalrius staff hired or licensed by Blizzard.
The governments, in this case Blizzard, defends their reputation and power at all cost, and seeks to 1. silence the people. 2. if 1 fails, tries to pretend like their are giving in, but in reality offer a vague, slightly better than a complete no kind of answers.
RIGHT BEFORE THE PEOPLE'S END GAME, so they stay defiant until the last second, then release a statement similar to what we have seen today, to make the people feel like they have succeeded.
We have NOT succeeded, we have been offered nothing, to add insult to injury, it was Allen Brack himself who delivered this statement which is the complete opposite of youthinkyoudobutyoudont.
Allen Brack needs to be apologising for what he said, for his attitude, if he wants to appear sincere. What makes a man a trust worthy man if he cannot even take responsibly for his mistakes and apologise publicly?
This is merely Blizzard trying to minimize bad rep and become the good guys again, this works in real life most times because people get used to the crappy ways they are treated and any slight promise of better treatment in the future will make them lower their guard and be fooled.
Once the climax of the revolution passes without the full impact,it takes a miracle to reorganise something this powerful again. This might be our only chance in a long time.
Do not be tricked my comrades, do not forget our goals, do not settle for crappy offers like pristine servers, keep your eyes on the prize, the end is near, play our ultimate spell right and we will win.

Don't keep the players in the dark.
Nostalrius Staff should release a statement regarding how hopeful they are regarding their talks with Blizzard, we trust them more at this point.
