We are almost at 400 signatures. Looking good people!
Nice groundwork here Krannok, gj!
I think the blue post linked above is just blizzard telling the community to give them some feedback if rp-pvp is needed at all and have some new data.
I guess in modern Blizzard they have to convince the higher ups a at Actiblizz of everything they want to be in game bc features cost time and money. Like they could convince them of expanding from 4 phases to 6, but they could not convince them of old AV.
The petition is heading towards 500 signatures. Keep up the good work everyone! :-)

When I heard that Blizzard wouldn't open RPPVP it made me think one thing: that there would already only be one RP server per region.
It sounds almost crazy, but it's the only situation where you couldn't take a RP server and make it RPPVP.
EDIT: Or perhaps, certain regions are getting only one RP server and Blizzard went ahead and made all regions conform to having the same server type. So say EU or NA might have been able to have an RPPVP, but not anyone else, and Blizzard killed the whole thing due to that.
So basically, I have been playing on the EU Defias Brotherhood RP-PvP server from Vanilla till WotLK. It was a great time, filled with both great RP and PvP types of events.
I've been on EU Defias Brotherhood since TBC and I'd say the server started to die out (in terms of RPPVP activity) during Cata. Just seemed like less and less people were engaging with the story and with levelling zones. Back in the day I couldn't quest in a single zone without seeing other players RPing, interacting with the environment and waging war on each other in world PVP. It would be a real shame if Blizzard didn't bring in RPPVP servers in Classic because DB was such a great server back in the day and it would be nice to see something like that make a comeback.
