I would guess you’re referencing Turtle WoW? But I have no sympathy for them. They did that to themselves. Blizzard left most private servers to themselves for over a decade. My first experience with Wow was a private server.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of the content generally, not the company. Especially being part of pedosoft now. I mean, honestly that was kind of a lateral move considering Kotik. Or any of the other issues. But turtle in particular was egregious. They weren’t taking small donations in the kitty to help pay for hosting for a server for their friends.They were operating a cash shop and paying for developer’s and much more. Writing new lore and stories built off the back of blizzard’s content.

At some point you have to be like; shit, just create some new assets etc and tell your own story. Something that should be simpler than trying to keep reverse engineering someone else’s content. No one has a monopoly on dwarves, elves, humans, gnomes, litch, orc, trolls etc. They were running a business on blizzard’s own name while competing with them.
