This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I picked it up recently with a group of friends on turtle wow (RIP, fuck blizzard), and while I really enjoyed the social aspect, the actual gameplay felt like a chore the whole way through. Plus, it felt like an obligation to keep up with my friends who somehow had much more time to throw at the game.
I'd heard about Turtle wow for a while. I decided to try it a few months ago. Loved it. But you know what happened.
To be fair, it was Turtle wow's fault. Blizzard has a legal obligation to defend their IP. Private servers are an uneasy truce. Blizzard ignores them because they get people into the WoW space. Turt Wow, however, started charging money and advertising Turtle WoW on Blizzard's pages on social media. Turtle WoW pulled their dick out in front of Blizzard, started helicoptering it while taunting Blizz, "The fuck you gonna do, pussy boooiiii??"
Blizzard quite literally had no choice. I really loved Turtle WoW, but they completely fucked themselves on this one.
This is a friendly reminder that Warcraft stole from Warhammer's IP
Apparently Blizzard does have a choice when its Ascension doing all of that?
I'm pretty sure blizzard just paid them to shut down the server. It happens the same way every time with every server.
None of what you said was a new thing or what actually pushed Blizz/Msoft to action. It was the unreal engine port that did it.
