What? Seems like I sold Lordaeron to another user as well? The **** are you talking about? I guess I missed the part when I became a scumbag... The only server which was sold or given away from me, is Chasm. Thats my project which was made by me from scratch, and I am free to do anything I want with it. Even if Chasm was offline for a few years, I still had messages about it, aswell as people offering to buy it. At some point I've become tired of this and just wanted to give away Chasm to someone as I was sure that I won't be back to that project anymore. Both of those, Crip~ and Blazed~ received a copy of chasm from me for ridiculous price(even if I had XXX$ offers for it like 7-8 months ago). If you're searching for someone who sold lordaeron, you better check marketplace from time to time, or just ask Dawid himself.
"seems like he sold Lordaeron" were my exact words.
I just observed a few things that seemed somewhat conclusive to me.
Tazer created two advertisement threads yesterday saying he was releasing Lordaeron as the new hoster. (Please mind Crip made his thread about hosting Chasm a day previous to yesterday).
This threw up a red flag. Two servers you owned were now being hosted by two different people around the same time. It seems like you were pushing the files to whomever wanted them.
http://lordaeron.se/
iirc you owned the domain for Lordaeron.
So naturally I imagine you either gave it to him or sold it to him. So I searched for threads created by Tazer.
Threads started by Tazer:

(Looking to purchase a custom server)
About 3 weeks later.

(Lordaeron uses Modern AAC)
This is just something I noticed after about five minutes of investigating. If I'm wrong about the domain name rights, then fine, I'm not lurking around here 24/7 keeping archives of people's transactions.
This is just information I collected off the best of my knowledge.
Due to these threads, I figured if it was being sold around. Why not release something for free if it's going to be sold a few more times before inevitably being leaked?
I purchased chasm ot. I saw that crip did the same a few days later.
Me yellowhat and Zansarets (i allways get your name wrong, sorry alan xD ) mindmapped alot of ideas and came up with amazing sprites, bosses, a custom client and alot of changes, 2 new start vocations splitting into 4 new 2. vocs,
you happy with this or want crip killa to host the broken one? wanna see if people even join >:I
Sorry for getting a bit off-topic. But I think you should go for it anyway. If you've planned to make a lot of changes you should go for it. If you create something even better, it'll get the players it deserves and people will play it. It's an invested risk, but the hosting of the original Chasm shouldn't discourage you from pursuing what you were going to in the first place.
