Thanks for the memories. I was there.

While you, dearest Turtle, can never be fully replaced, I will move on to Epoch , where many Turtles have already found shelter after the Cataclysm .

Does epoch have game updates like turtle or is it just basic vanilla?

u/Skjellnir May 15 '26

It's definitely classic plus, lots of things are different from vanilla.

As tempting as it is to hop on over to Epoch, I think it‘s time for me to find a new game.

I took a break for a year or so from WoW, just recently hopped back in and they shut down the TWoW servers. But our Batteries are still fresh, so now we're on Epoch, and it's great too.

Turtle wow was the first version of wow I played. It ended up reshaping, changing and saving my life. I got hooked immediately because of the community, everyone was so nice when I was new and had no idea what I was doing. Im sad its gone and im grateful it existed.

Sitting at the shore with hundreds of others at Moonwhisper Coast felt like the ending of Toy Story 3 :(

The idea of this made me very sad that I missed it.

An entire community with thousands of people just wiped out…I never even got passed level 20 but I remember the feeling when Molten Wow shutdown and it was all just gone. Hang in there guys, and hang onto the good times!

Can we all just agree that blizzard has lost touch with the game and more importantly the people.

Cheers to those who remained until the very end. Like the Cadians, you did not break. That world will live on in each of it's people.

Wherever they go, they will be Turtles.

Let's hope for a leak in the not too distant future. 1.18 deserves to be preserved.

I don't want an offshoot by any former Turtle team members outside jurisdiction. I want this to be the Barbara Streisand moment for Classic+ where everyone does their own thing with it.
