Despite the obvious (glaring) hostility of the resident and untouchable MMO Champion trolls, it is quite obvious that the topic of Legacy servers interests a great number of people, otherwise the megathread would have died quietly and never quite reach 2 million views.
So, in actuality the trolls are serving our purposes well by...trolling and in fact bumping the thread, which is to our best interest.
Would like to post an example from the Bible that I could not post at MMO Champion being as they are strongly Anti-Christian and Anti-Jewish:
ΑCTS 5, KJV, The Counsel of Rabbi Gamaliel:
34: Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a Doctor of the Law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space.
35: And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
36: For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
37: After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
38: And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
39: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
=================================================================================
To paraphrase the New Testament, it is quite clear that Nostalrius and interest in thereof, cannot die and be buried.
If, as the trolls claim, there was no real interest in Legacy servers beyond the minority (as they claim) of the about 275,000 people who signed the petition, the Nostalrius Megathread would have died MONTHS ago.
Instead, it is living and has reached 2,000,000 views.
As the Rabbi said, "But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it"
Human agencies cannot thwart something that is meant to be.
