as much as I want to be mad about The Man shutting down the little guy, asking for money is the single easy red line to draw

I get that for sure, but its not like Pservers don't cost money to run either, especially if it has a decent sized player base. From the sounds of it, they added content too, so thats also legit labor hours being put in. Sadly copyright is what it is, Blizzard is well within their legal right to shut it down. Such a shame the fucking retards learned nothing from the whole ordeal though. WoW will continue to be shit, just like every product Blizzard has shat out in the past decade.

It's funny you say that. EverQuest recently had its own Turtle WoW situation with a private server called The Heroes Journey that was really popular and the devs did the same shit as TWoW did with social media posts and mocking official servers, and also used the "it costs a lot of money to run the servers, that's why we're putting in a pay to win cash shop!".

Well, they got hit with a lawsuit and it turned out the entire server costs were less than $2,000 a month. They were raking in over $150,000 a month for nearly a year before getting shut down.
 
This server was run by russians doing gayops, scamming their playerbase, running drugs, and used doxing as life threats to people who pointed it out.

Anyone going “uWu the poor poor devs…” (aka hosts hosting an already made emulation) is a retard who doesn’t even understand the base level of who owns the project.

I hate Blizzard as a company, but I hate players "creating a server for the fellow players" even more.
99% of the time the people running these servers are absolute fucking retards who are hacking, cheating and abusing admin access to fuck with people they dislike, who killed them, won a match against them or called them a faggot.

There has never been a single Freeshard server for any MMO that did not have issues due to the autism of the admin and mod staff.

I just think the people running turtleWOW were specially egregious greedy little cunts and I hope Blizzard demanded they provide documentation for every dollar every fundraised and they need to pay it back for the next 40 years. Not because I like Blizzard, but because the people who made this server were infinitely worse than even the sexual-assault-is-ok Blizzard of 15 years ago.

This is why Pay 2 Play was such a great model. It got automatically rid of kids, the poor and thirdworlders.
 
Good. Now you little goyim will stop wasting time with this drivel and commit to the BEST content Blizzard's TALENTED dev team has ever conceived of: Mythic Plus. You VILL run Skyreach another 40 times for a CHANCE at a dagger drop and you VILL do 40 runs of Algeth'ar per week to maybe get a Myth puzzlebox next week, and you VILL be happy.
 
Blizzard releases a terrible product that grinds your life away at 15 dollars a month, then it re-releases its own content in a shrinking window, then it just takes that away and continues onward in the same trajectory its been going in which is nowhere in particular.
So of course they have to go after the community.
Meanwhile, no company is making an MMORPG replacement for this genre of "casual, communal" large world RPG gaming.
Its insane how WoW as a construct was "the" game for like a decade that had marriages, and funerals, and so forth in it, but we have reached the end of the rainbow on it and there is nothing else for the nerds to throw their lives away inside.

But they do. Nerds can choose between Twitter, Bluesky or the secret route of Kiwi Farms.

Given TurtleWoW's hubris on social media taking the piss out of Blizzard and retail wow, I honestly don't give a shit that the clowns running this were easily identifiable and sueable.
Reap what you sow tbh, rip in piss.

Instead of learning what made the freeshard popular and building upon that, "OY VEY, SHUT IT DOWN!!!".

And yet the biggest game companies on the planet wonder why they're steadily slipping into decline. This industry is run by bonafide retards.

"Hey let's just ignore these people using our property to generate income, that won't bite us in the ass when we see World of Lovemaking from a chinese company in 3 years"
 
I played it a fair amount. One druid I ran I was in the stupid druid dungeon on teldrassil, I met another guy and we ended up levelling to 60 together, then made a warrior+priest and did all the dungeons in the game. Lately, I felt the itch again and was gonna roll an undead, haven't levelled in tirisfal glades since 2005. I'm surprised they didn't run their servers in Russia though. I assumed they did since they were around for such a long time.

I guess I'll try LOTRO, it's still going and it'll be new content for me. That's one thing no WOW server will ever offer, the original WOW but with every zone redone for a fresh experience.
