I've read the Nost announcement several times and it's pretty masterful in what it fails to discuss. The only hard assertion is this:
> Today, only 10% of the former Nostalrius players have generated a token to join Elysium, and we believe that we failed to satisfy this community entirely, as at the same time legacy fans acquired a reputation of “pirates” on the official WoW community.<
Well, what a shock! You wreck the token generator and then you complain that folks don't transfer. What a load of crap. As for "reputation", since when was that important? Since you started cuddling up to Blizzard? Do me a favor and hold your breath while you see how long it takes for Blizzard to grant you permission to have an official Vanilla server.
