I'm not through believing in a more enjoyable future of Elysium!
It takes such a long time to get the script, the servers, the whole project running in such a polished way! This is the enhanced Nostalrius Code! There's no better Code for vanilla out there up and running! Let's not throw this away easily! We all want to play! They want to make it happen! If the (formerly^^) whole Elysium Community brakes apart now and continues to demand and point fingers instead of supporting the vanilla project, we might well have a second Nostalrius-like "cataclysm" for the vanilla community. Only this time we would have to blame ourselves at least to some part in the end... We have to look for a solution, so private servers can afford to be "blizzlike"! There has to be found a way that a private server team is able not only to live for the project by investing all their time in it, but also to live because of it!
Those guys have to be encouraged to find alongside the community new possibilities to work on the project. I don't know exactly why payment methods of past "blizzlike" projects doomed those projects - I don't have the understanding of neither international nor country-specific law - some of you might have! Some sort of payment method has to be found that doesn't doom the project to being shut down by means of law. Otherwise, the people who we are endebted to for being able to experience vanilla wow in such an exellent and almost 100% blizzlike quality will be faced again and again with the impossible choice of either shutting down the project or getting money "somehow or somewhere else"...
- just my opinion - *continues trying to summon the pink unicorn*
