Distraught

Useful, cheers for sharing.

Indeed they can, they've spent too much on expansions to "start again" in essence. It's just a pain that Nost has been bit by the balls by Blizzard. They'll disagree but its evident.

This, I am pretty certain Blizzard has forced their hand. To be honest, no official legacy servers will ever appear and there are a number of reasons for this; including the fact more people play the latest up-to date version than the legacy versions. It also comes to the point that Blizzard even admitted they've modified their source too much to go back to the old-vanilla. I'm sure they kept copies but for their own reasons they wouldn't ever want a developer to waste their time managing something they deem 'out-dated'. It's just sad that the people who wanted Official Legacy Servers have retracted their ambition, showing they're clearly not 'team players' nor are they for any vanilla server that isn't Blizzards. For Blizzard to even warrant an official server it would require money and time, both of which they're not going to spend just because Nost want them to. Unfortunate reality of this whole thing is that some people are too over-optimistic for something that will never happen, unfortunately. Edit: Just to reiterate my point that Nostalrius is being used as leverage by Blizzard and probably bundled with a load of false promises. If anything they've now killed their own project and looked like the bad guy during it. Unfortunately for them, it's frowned upon in any workplace/project to suddenly request the user to revoke your source etc when a deal has already been made.

To be honest, Blizzard probably mentioned they wouldn't speak to Nost. Team after giving the source away hah.

Well this is interesting. It's a bit unfair to revoke the donated material, I guess but if they're being funny about it it's probably best anyway! I'm sure it'll be fine, hopefully you can make a more superior source.
