For once, before Iacopo got banned, the server itself got banned *claps slowly*

Is there anyway to view your old friends list?

My name is the same as it was on Nostalrius, being Lazyboness

I met this cool, if I remember right, russian undead rogue, but I dipped out before we could talk any much longer.

I have no way of getting back in touch with him so this would be my last ditch effort.

Shit like this just adds to the pile of why the server closing is a bad thing. Really good friendships were made on this game. Hell, people got married after having met on the game (my sister and her boyfriend who live together are an example of this.) This community was something really special that I'm really glad I got to be apart of. I really hope that data gets restored somehow, hopefully with friend lists intact somehow.

Well, If you guys think we'll give up..

Here is another french fansite :

For those who wonder what's the survey says, here he goes :

Would you be interested in a Vanilla Wow realm ?

/ Yes - 69% (2.682 votes)
/ No, but I wouldn't mind - 20% (792 votes)
/ No, and I think it is a bad idea - 9% (358 votes)
/ Do not want to answer - 2% (68 votes)

Well, if we add the two first lines, it would be approximately 90% of players agreeing with a vanilla wow realm, and still 70% who want it...

Well, some would say that 3.900 votes aren't representative of the whole community. That's true, but I clearly don't expect it to be much different from a global survey (+/- 10% max.).

That's all, I haven't see any kind of survey like this one yet, and I wanted to share it with you guys, 'cause I find it to be very relevant.

Have a nice day

Perhaps Mike will listen to Mark. Wouldn't that be something?
