somehow i hope that Kronos is pushed to release Early 2015 so it wont have advertisements overshadowed by the WoD hype but hits a few months after WoD starts to loosen its release grip.
I wouldn't fear ED resurfacing considering:
A: countless years of gold/xp exploits as to where many of those still exist
B: raid/dungeon bugs allowed you to clear content faster and easier
C: herb/ore spawns have a bug in spawning making them predictable and reducing rarity of flasks and other raid materials.
D: even if they deliver AQ people know that it might take 2-4 years before they see the shadow of naxxramas or it will be rushed like they did to MC which results in it being a lot easier than it is supposed to due to countless bugs.
E: people are more than simply tired of the unstable server that is shut down randomly 1-8 times a day due to ddos and bad server... not to mention the cap is at 2000....
F: they are introducing donation for raid gear... all the way up to T2...
in short: unless they do a complete wipe-out, to fix the balance issues that countless exploits and bugs have caused over the extended time, improve the server and do a ton of work i just can't see how they can revive... ED is dying and you cannot bring back something once people start realizing it, so it is too late for them.
note: i still hope to see it released in late 2014 but as said WoD hype might overshadow the release hype + the longer we wait the better it gets
