For anyone interested in the media reports up until ~15.00 2016-04-07 on this specific case. Hopefully at the end of all things something good can be created from this unfortunate event, which can only be described as a lose-lose action for both the private server community and Blizzard Entertainment.

First of all: take a look (and sign if you can) the following petition for the community:

Absolutely not.

There has never been a private server this significant. Not even close.

That's what i thought. This is amazing!
I reccomend everyone to sign the petition, and write on blizzards wall on facebook. Also do a "suicide" on the official forums if you can, hehe :D

Lets show those bastards that they can't just do this without any form of reaction.
