If it gets over 10 k active daily users , ill give it 1012 months . Blizzard KNOWS FOR A FACT that Scriptstalrius is opening soon . They will watch it and monitor traffic , advertisement , revenue gained and all that shit and they will make a decision accordingly . If the server lasts more than 3 months than expect it to be around for more than a year . The reason i say 3 months is because of DDoS and other major game breaking hidden exploits that can cripple new servers . If it can survive the first couple waves , than it will last for quite a while . When blizzard finally pulls the plug , bet your ass it will be because they will finally announce an official project . There is NO WAY Scriptstalrius will be a dead server . It has gotten to much publicity and will have double , if not triple the number of players with in the first several months after launch , with a steady population of around 34 k per realm after that .
