Most likely, Nostalrius will just reopen their server in a different country, and like most pirate servers they will just ignore Blizzards
cease and desist messages. Would be cool if they kept everyones characters. Lawyers are only useful if you live in a country that cares about US law.
That's my prediction as well. I was thinking patch 7.1 was going to delay it, but considering how pathetic a 5 man raid is going to be, it's going to be 3-6 months.
It was 3-6 weeks due to network issues, and 3-6 months because the game sucked. Apparently, Legion doesn't have network issues. I guess Blizzard stopped hiring monkeys to run their servers and paid for cheap quality foreign labor, like everyone else.
From what I remember, everyone was saying WoD was the best version of WoW ever. It was so nice, they had to play it twice. Turns out they lack foresight.
