Vanilla co-creator Mark Kern makes a 200k petition promise

[Hydra9268]

Ty very much! Indeed, I had to pay a subscription to post it ><
Did you see? We have 138 500 signatures now. We will have 10k per day if we continue like this.

Ye it's still going up pretty fast tbh, already close to 141k now. 150k will be tomorrow, 200k next week if it goes on like this. Also, it's getting attention everywhere. On all gaming sites, Blizzard fb, Blizzard twitters, all wow forums have multiple posts about it every day, other twitters, tons of youtubers and streamers talk about it, it just doesn't stop. And it's been 2 weeks almost since Nostalrius got the C&D letter.

I have this feeling that Blizzard is going to have to respond at some point if they don't want to drown in angry comments from their players.

There are days when I sit back and admire the power of the Internet for change. Today is one of those.

In the end Blizzard could be defiant and reply, "No. You think we'd do that, but we won't." I really hope all of our combined efforts are for nothing.

Still less than 10% of the current Wow playerbase, you'll need a little more before you'll get a reaction from Blizzard . My guess though is that Blizzard will only consider doing this once Wow eventually becomes fully Free to Play.

I think we've already reached the point where Blizzard can no longer claim with any emphasis to be a company that focuses on the community unless they do something about this issue.

After this that claim can always be met with a "Lol. What about the old school wow community? Didn't you just flip them off? Yeah, you did."

I also have a feeling Blizzcon might end up a fairly annoying experience for Blizz unless they say something before. I have a feeling that the oldschool wow aficionados are well represented at Blizzcon.

You guys honestly think that Blizzard / Activision will reverse the C&D if the petition reaches 200k? I'm an optimistic person, but that's silly to believe unless its staged. Despite Mark's position relative to the company. 150k is more than enough anyway.

No, we don't. This petition is not about Nost legalization. It's about to draw the B's attention. Srsly, it's silly to think that ppl around you are idiots. Did you actually see the petition text?

Ok, then what? We get their attention then forget about it??
Who cares about getting Nostalrius back though?

And we already have their attention. Nostalrius went viral.

We don't know the amount of wow players Blizzard stop reporting it.

Well I assume there are at least still about 4 million active players.
Anyway, next Blizzcon will be interesting, let's see what happens .
