We are sad to inform all the community here that we have been served with a DMCA notice and will be ceasing operation of the servers effective immediately.
As some of you may of noticed, a handful of other private servers have also been hit with this notice, so it is not just us and it is widespread. So far it seems isolated to the hosting provider being used by us and those other servers, but other servers may end up receiving the same notice as well.
We are not taking any chances and are going to be cooperative in this time, and will proceed with taking down all our WoW gaming realms. At this stage we have no intention of reviving the servers, as that would be potentially violating the conditions of the DMCA.
For donaters, if you donated just recently and haven't got your reward, contact us about it and we will look at refunding your money. Same will go for very recent donaters. Any longer standing donaters, sorry we will not be refunding that money as you have been using those rewards, and our donation terms clearly state we do not offer refunds, however in exceptional circumstances we will for a very limited range of people.
Sad to see things end this way and so quick, but it has to be done.
We will try to keep at least a main website up and possibly forums aswell running for the time being so you all can stay informed on the situation as it unfolds, and we will try to let everyone know if there are some changes.
Go ahead and bring it. We're not going down just like that.

Yes they can... It's just a matter of finding the information the correct way.

Can't GZP get sued like that? Private servers are illegal if the original game is copyrighted.. so Blizzard can file a sue.. can't they? PLease correct me if im wrong..

Why dont the huge private servers inform all their players through email saying that they're changing their name.. Then once the main site closes down.. open another one. ^^ no need changing any game data.. and just stay off the top 100 wow private servers..

whats the point then? it's like playing arcade games.. you play by yourself.. isn't that boring?
They can't sue GzP, no. They can go ahead and try me though.
