Re: To the WoW Legacy fans, and Nostalrius community

RUSH B !
However, when looking back to what happened, we have the feeling that the main objective was missed.
Legacy Community uses Requests at Blizzard Entertainment.
Blizzard Entertainment blocks Legacy Community attack.
Legacy Community uses change.org at Blizzard Entertainment.
Blizzard Entertainment dodges Legacy Community attack.
Legacy Community uses tickets at Blizzard Entertainment.
Blizzard Entertainment parry's Legacy Community attack.
Legacy Community uses Nostalrius Project at Blizzard Entertainment.
Blizzard Entertainment uses Divine Shield.
Legacy Community Nostalrius Project attack was absorbed.
Blizzard Entertainment uses Execute at Legacy Community.
Blizzard Entertainment Execute hits Legacy Community for infinite amount of damage.
Legacy Community dies.
(...) legacy fans acquired a reputation of “pirates” on the official WoW community.
We know that Nostalrius carries the hopes of the legacy community but moving from “fan server” to "pirate server" reputation makes it harder to convince that legacy fans have a place on the WoW community. Until this stigma is removed, it's unlikely any true progress towards official legacy content can be achieved.
Thus, we are asking you a tremendous sacrifice.
We ask Elysium to join this effort for Legacy realms by stopping to use data that we provided.

"To Community:
This SUCKS balls. After waiting ages for an official response from Bli££ard Entertainment, We finally got one. But it was NOT the one we wanted, and we really can't say anything of it, nor can we let you know we actually have one. NOT because we wouldn't want to, but we'd be sued for telling. It may have some good news for the community, or some extremely bad news to the few of us that actually were at the Blizz meeting last year. Yes, there might be good news concerning possibility of Legacy retail, or it might be us facing 25 years in an american gayjail as public pump-up-dolls. (Nothing against Americans or gays, but the post came from U.S, and we really are straight.)
Anyway, we have informed Elysium staff on the situation, and together we came up a plan to try to let you know / guess what's going on, and also save our asses. Yes, the way we're trying to fix / handle things is a big blow to Nost refugees, but let's put it this way: How many of YOU would really, I mean REALLY go to jail over a private server?
Removing the core + our scripts / disabling tokens were the things Blizz demanded us to do, and Nano quitting from Elysium officially (Not really, he's just hiding under Shenna's avatar atm) are just things that we needed to do to save ourself, these guys @ Blizz do shoot hard when they want to.
All we can say, is this way Blizz can't target Ely by telling "you do use Nost too", so u're next with old claims. Also don't worry about the core; our ppl re-wrote the Elysium core to look different, but have all our upgrades, so you should be fine.
P.S. Yes, we truly are sorry for how things turned out, but we really have no choice.
P.P.S We got the Blizz mail on 2nd day of transfers. 3rd day we allready made it buggy so it didn't work.
P.P.P.S We wrote the announcement to look like a noble post about the cause, so that Bli££ard wouldn't notice what's going on here. Sorry if it's too hard to read. That is intentional.
The Nost staff"
There, fixed it for you.
