Too many on this forum don't read posts properly. I understand that many feel they wasted time on characters but that can be said for Nostalrius. At any point in time, blizzard could smack the Elysium-Project with a CAD letter, making progress for anyone else and I from Nighthaven.. moot. Understand that most of the reason you are here is because you LOVE the Vanilla experience, showing that very often by your 'passionate' replies. Yet complaining about a game with a grind as a waste of time is not the answer. There was turmoil within the Project of Elysium that caused many issues with the servers. They tried their best after that whole aftermath to bring your characters back, which they did. Sadly the time in which it took to get it back up, people moved on. From the perspective of the Project, that means they're spending money on a server box needlessly when their fresh server Nighthaven gets more than 15 times the amount Stratholme gets as a preexisting realm. Companies are not perfect, nor is leadership, but at least they try. They try very hard to make the experience enjoyable for everyone and many take that for granted. This project replies very fast with service to complaints and requests, all of which is free. An so I say this, if you are having such a big problem with the outcome, leave. The rest of us will be here enjoying the very much bug free fun experience that this Project provides.
