This happens to a lot of people. Upon talking with a GM he said its because someone reported you for spamming. I wouldn't say you actually need to get reported for spamming for that to appear, its in my opinion just a bug in their system.

As a former part of the nostalrius staff I can just confirm what Shiamorah said. Everytime you bump your, or someone elses, thread/ban appeal, you move further down in the line. Staff goes from older pages to newer pages, not from new to old. Be patient once you have submitted a ban appeal and wait for their answer. Then provide additional information once they have asked you to do so. After giving more information they'll add you to the list of reviews. Ban reviews usually take quite some time, depending on the actual ban reason. You already said, they are all volunteers and this is a free server. The staff also does not ignore ban appeals or players, or specifically you. They answer when they are able to give a final answer. They won't tell you anything when they're not done investigating.

They wont do that. There are way more quests than you actually need to hit level 60. If you're stuck in your zone, go into another zone in your level range. If you are actually unable to find quests there too, or think that you have done them, do some dungeons in your level range and do the dungeon quests. A hole of 3-4 levels is not really possible, even with that 30% less xp bug.

I need to correct that last part, they were summoning stones since TBC. Meeting stones are vanilla only

I still call its the same day the announcement was made. Just minutes before they announced the shutdown, they've done their weekly PvP maintenance/update. This should automatically save the whole data. So I doubt its that much of a rollback.

Hi. The NPC Searing Ghoul has an ability called Fire Shield - This ability is supposed to hit you each time you make a hit on the mob. This ability of the searing ghouls however spams the damage multiple times per second, as can be seen in my combat log here: Due to this you die within seconds while fighting them.

Don't cry about it. It actually wasn't blizzlike. Also players with your mindset wouldn't be able to get a legitimate r14 with competing for st1 on 60 anyways :^)
