are we gonna get paid the balances we had before the pool died ?

In short yes, although you might have to wait a while... Payments are made when the pool mines a block - it does not wait for confirmations, it becomes part of the coinbase of the mined block itself.  Due to the decaying block reward it is never possible to pay all miners in any given block.  So instead the pool prioritises payments by balance outstanding, paying the highest first, until a block is full.  If the balances dont add up to a full block reward we will fill it up with any smaller due payments to fill up the block, meaning that sometimes much lower outstanding balances get included.  So with this in mind, if you have a larger outstanding balance of say 1.5-2 NXS then you will be paid out relatively soon, whereas if you have a smaller balance you will likely have to wait until your payment fits into a block.
