Twelve-month term
A defined evaluation window with review gates, measurable targets, and a written transition plan.
A practical path forward
Let Ascension
prove its value.
A verified community petition asking Blizzard Entertainment and Xbox to evaluate a controlled, licensed Project Ascension pilot.
The permanent campaign would count a signature only after email verification. This preview is a safe, non-collecting demonstration.
- Verified support One person, one confirmed email
- Controlled proposal Auditable terms and a fixed pilot
- Measurable value Player intent separated from revenue estimates
The petition
Give the community a licensed test.
We are asking Blizzard Entertainment and Xbox to evaluate whether Project Ascension can operate under a limited agreement that protects Warcraft intellectual property, compensates the rights holder, and measures actual player demand.
To the leadership of Blizzard Entertainment and Xbox:
Project Ascension has built a large community around a distinct way of experiencing a familiar game world. The current lawsuit may decide legal claims, but litigation alone cannot measure whether a licensed version could create lasting value for players and the Warcraft business.
We respectfully ask you to:
- Open good-faith licensing or settlement discussions.
- Evaluate a controlled, twelve-month Project Ascension pilot.
- Protect Warcraft intellectual property while preserving clearly identified original development and community continuity.
- Publish a public response to the proposal and the verified demand behind it.
A pilot creates evidence. It can test player demand, technical compliance, brand safeguards, subscription effects, and revenue potential before either side makes a permanent commitment.
Production launch: typed signature, confirmed email, country, and age authorization.
The proposal
A pilot with guardrails.
The campaign is asking for a structured commercial test, with terms Blizzard and Xbox can audit and enforce.
Controlled scale
An initial 50,000 or 100,000-player cap, expandable only after compliance and performance review.
Commercial terms
A WoW subscription requirement, a hypothetical add-on, a revenue share, or another negotiated model.
Brand controls
Approved naming, clear independence disclosures, authorized distribution, and limits on protected material.
Audit and security
Reporting, privacy standards, security review, financial audits, and a documented chain-of-title inventory.
Exit protections
Defined termination triggers, player communication rules, data handling, and a continuity or wind-down process.
Transparent measurement
Show the demand. Show the math.
Demo data
These figures are placeholders used to demonstrate the public dashboard. They are not petition results and should never be presented as real signatures or verified player intent.
Scenario calculator
What could a licensed pilot test?
Adjust the audience and intent assumptions. The model separates incremental WoW subscription revenue from a hypothetical Ascension add-on, then discounts stated interest with conservative realization rates.
Current U.S. WoW monthly subscription
$14.99
Hypothetical Ascension add-on
$5.00
Illustrative monthly total
$19.99
Prices are before applicable taxes. Regional pricing and longer-term subscription discounts may differ. Blizzard has not approved this add-on or pilot.
Annual incremental subscriptions
$899,400
Annual add-on revenue
$900,000
Illustrative annual gross
$1,799,400
Gross revenue before platform costs, taxes, royalties, support, development, refunds, and cannibalization. The two lines measure distinct products: incremental WoW subscriptions and the add-on.
Signature integrity
Make every count explainable.
A credible petition should show Blizzard exactly what each number represents, how duplicates are handled, and where uncertainty remains.
Submit
Name, email, country, and age authorization. No free-form public comment field.
Verify
A one-time email link confirms the address before the signature counts.
Measure
Four optional questions separate general support from player and purchase intent.
Report
Publish submitted, verified, surveyed, excluded, and removed totals separately.
Questions and safeguards
Built for a serious response.
This campaign is public advocacy. It supports a negotiated path while keeping the lawsuit, the petition, and any future commercial agreement clearly separate.
Is this an official Blizzard or Project Ascension site?
No. It is an independent community petition and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or authorized by Blizzard Entertainment, Xbox, Microsoft, Project Ascension, Derek Powell, or any defendant.
Does this preview collect signatures?
No. The preview demonstrates the experience in your browser. It sends no form data, creates no account, and stores no personal information.
What would the production petition collect?
The smallest useful set: a typed name, email address, country or region, age authorization, verification status, and optional multiple-choice intent answers. Public reporting would use aggregate totals.
How would someone remove a signature?
A production launch would include a verified removal link and a documented privacy request process. Removed and excluded signatures would remain visible only as aggregate audit totals.
What does the lawsuit disclaimer mean?
Blizzard's complaint contains allegations. The court has not decided the merits. The petition expresses a policy and business proposal; it does not claim to represent a party or provide legal advice.
What conduct does this campaign support?
Lawful, respectful public advocacy. Do not threaten, harass, dox, brigade, or publish private information about anyone involved in the dispute.
The ask is simple
