1. Open source the client but not the assets

2. Open source the client and the assets but not the server

3. After a delay, open source everything but still charge for playing on the official server where there is already a thriving community

Although there is not necessarily much of a benefit.

Minecraft made a killing from what I think was going directly to #3.

But it's easy to see how that isn't a great option for Blizzard.
