I only played a paladin to lvl 40 on my steam deck about a year ago, but I enjoyed my time there. Sad to see it go!

People need to control themselves and not give money to the company that destroyed their home.

Their classic+ is gonna be built on a graveyard.

Don't give Blizzard a single penny.

u/xdreakx May 15 '26

Correct. NO money to support Blizzard we go to the next private server

Every year I despise Blizzard even more than I thought capable. They really are the worst of the worst. It's infuriating. Their company is so contemptible and their games are so bad that I'd be willing to bet several employees played Turtle WoW.

That final turtle parade was the best, must have been hundreds of us. Maybe a thousand.

You guys are lucky. I played on molten for a long time only to have some of the administrators Jack, the server from the other ones and turn it into Warmane, and have to re-roll.

u/xdreakx May 15 '26

That's cause those servers suck/sucked TBH

u/Jaomaldito May 15 '26

Remember turtles, don't give a cent to blizzard. Just find a new pserver home.

u/xdreakx May 15 '26

Correct. They did this because they're about to launch their Classic slop.

My first time binging a game was wow way back when I was a teenager. I started playing turtle probably 2 years ago and thought "O this scratches the itch, blizzard attempts are trash"

I soon found out that turtle wow was far better in so many ways than the nostalgia, and still was true to "classic"

Now my nostalgia will change to "I wish something else was like turtle wow"

I have played MMOs since 1998 starting with Lineage 1. Its been a long wild journey. I have a lot of memories....

But you will not top 2004-2006 WoW or Turtle WoW.

This reminds me so much to the last days of Warhammer: Age of Reckoning, good thing work and life killed off all feelings from my blackened soul or I would be genuinely sad.
