If you look at Updates section on the petition's homepage you'll find this.

* 2 weeks ago - Nostalrius BEGINS started this petition
* 1 week ago - 50,000 supporters
* 3 days ago - 100,000 supporters
* NOW - 138,660 supporters

50k signatures per week, and 38k in 3 days. Looks to me like it is moving fast. :)

Yea, it seemed to slow down significantly at the ~100k point, but then Mark's got involved, many of the big streamers (Sodapoppin etc) stepped in, and now momentum is back in full force. If this keeps going for a few days, we should be able to hit 200k.

In the short time since you made this thread, it gained another 2500+ signatures.

Let's keep the petition honest. Seriously, if you signed it already, don't do that.

Its going to suck to get 200k signatures and see nothing happen, I'm hoping against the odds.

Well... if people keep intentionally sabotage the petition by sign in multiple times - it does not have anymore relevance to anything.

Could as well trash it right away.

3,665 needed to reach 150,000


Holy bananajams I did not expect it to hit the 150,000 threshold. Now it looks like it may actually get to 200,000.

Aside from the people using multiple devices, which I suspect is minimal, it indeed does look good. Wonder what caused the surge. China perhaps?

I think the fact that it got a response from an old WoW lead developer and then Sodapoppin who rallied a lot of other famous ex-WoW streamers to the cause.
