Elysium only drives my point even further.
Blizzard targeted Nostalrius for its massive visibility (~800,000 accounts) even though it had strict non-RMT policy and no donation system.
However:
Elysium’s smaller, community drew less attention even though it inherited Nost's assets and added a
FOR PROFFIT donation system.
Blizzard never shut Elysium down.
Elysium self imploded in 2017

After it was revealed that admins Shenna and Crogge embezzled ~€2,000/month from donations and collaborated with gold sellers for personal gain, tainting its non-profit stance. This led to its collapse, not Blizzard action.
