Hello everyone...
I know how everybody is complaining they lost their characters in video game, but you do need to understand that this is private server... breaking copy right infringement. Blizzard does actually have rights to shut down the server since it their property. You should know the risks what to take. Far as I'm concern another vanilla server is still up <no name> but there is possibility chance it might get shutdown too as well. So think before you planning on wasting on your time for nothing but your hard work all gone and would have to start all over again if Blizzard ever release a legacy servers.
I knew somehow the server was going to get shut down due massive of population that got blizzard attention. I used to have a level 60 Hunter in T1/T2 gears with Rank 12 PVP. I've spent quite over hundred of hours gameplay on my hunter, no alts at all. When I found out that server was getting shut down, I just knew it I was, "we" were going to lose our characters and there is nothing we can do about it.
The good news is that Blizzard is actually listening to us and there a good possibility chance that we might get legacy server back and we will be in the safe hands with them because it on their property.
However... if Blizzard have decided to let Nostalrius to continue that would be a great news we get our accounts back, however it will still be private server, non-official. Therefore, I'd rather to have an official server from Blizzard under Battle.net account where I can re-subscription back to them. But it would be really nice to see Nostalrius team developers work with Blizzard to get the server up and running with their codes or something like that.
Don't lose hope... don't be hopeless think positive and good things can happen. For now just do something else to get your mind off and let Nostalrius team do their hard work ethic to satisfied for you all gentlemen and ladies.
Alrightz
