We've discovered some disturbing information to which we've not verified it's integrity but need to take steps to ensure survivability, servers are all offline to be backed up and downloaded from our servers.
I cannot give any details at this time as we don't even know if this is a legit report. Servers will resume after the backups and downloads are complete.
Information has been confirmed more or less the following private servers have been served a DMCA notice from blizzard:
chaoscrusade
toxic-wow
Ani-wow
wowfusion
wowgasm
wowscape"

Hey guys,
I know you haven't see me on the forums in a while, however that is apart from the subject of the matter.
Many may have guessed from the topic title that Blizzard has finally taken action against World of Warcraft private servers. They recently had communication with our servers' host, SoftLayer. In fact, it was Blizzard's lawyer who submitted the "abuse" to the SoftLayer. Therefore, all servers will be down until further notice. I don't know what else to say at the very moment, but I will do my best to keep you guys updated.
EDIT-1: Blizzard is shutting down ALL private servers, not only us. Sorry if I failed to make that clear.
Regards,
WoWFusion Staff.
