Signatures mean nothing, should of setup a kickstarter and gave that money to blizzard to make it. Then they would of listened.
If people won't put their money where their mouth is then Blizzard are correct in that they don't really want it.

There were quite a few people that seem to think that the Nostalrius had some upper hand owning the code and such but I think these were really not the concerns that Mike had and his real problem is not the private server people at all. In the end Blizzard will if they decide to do this probably go their own people and cannibalize some ideas and work off what archives which they must have in some dusty warehouse.
The one thing I agree with is when he talked about the quality of the product they put out. That I think is a question of pride. I mean look at Overwatch everything Blizzard does has that mark of quality and no way are they going to do this unless they can assure that. This is non negotiable. It is fine and dandy to put out crap stuff when you're running a private server but Blizzard "no way Jose".
I can see where people will say well to hell with quality when your core game has deteriorated so much that the levelling experience is but a shadow of what it once was and hardly challenging at all. This is what they should be changing and granted this should be their focus but they will never put out a sub par product and even if the concept is something they wholeheartedly agree with they will never do this half ass.
Anyone can sign the petition. People with no intention of ever playing a WoW legacy server or WoW at all could sign the petition.
You won't get Blizzard's attention with an online petition just lip service.

Also, pretty sure they did get Blizzard's attention. Maybe it wasn't the sigs that did it, but like Mark said, Mike already knows about the vanila movement. There's enough there to talk about it. I'm not sure why people care to debate that point when the CEO is at least mulling it over.
First of all, if they're making money, why would they be worried?
That being said, this petition probably got more signatures than the majority of game petitions I've seen. I think it managed to get, probably, 100 times the signatures of any SWG petition. Plus they had like nearly 1 million accounts, and 150k active players. Put that on a sanctioned server? Shoot, you might get 1 or 2 million active players.
Nothing scary about that except the fact that they're throwing away money, lol.

Time spent implementing these servers is time spent not working on the current game.
Its funny how you accuse them of being money hungry by not participating on what has shown in EQ to be an effective cash grab.
Vanilla servers are a waste of time. UNLESS they do something more revolutionary, like re-imagine post vanilla WoW. A WoW 2 of sorts, with vanilla WoW being the start point. I like stories where I don't know what happens the next chapter far more than ones I do.
1. Can make a profit that will be worth talking about at the quartly.
2. Wont, so no go.
