Pirate Software Kicked Out of OnlyFangs World of Warcraft Guild

Summary

Following a disastrous Dire Maul North run in World of Warcraft Classic's Anniversary servers, Pirate Software was expelled from the prominent streamer guild, OnlyFangs. The incident resulted in the deaths of two Hardcore characters, Sara and Snupy, directly attributed to Pirate Software's actions.

The expulsion stemmed from Pirate Software's refusal to accept responsibility for the deaths. Guild Master Sodapoppin, in a Discord announcement, cited widespread guild discomfort and Pirate Software's unwillingness to acknowledge his role in the incident, specifically his failure to utilize crowd control effectively (e.g., Blizzard rank 1). Further accusations, including threats made to fellow streamers, have also surfaced. While acknowledging the possibility of leniency under normal guild rules, Sodapoppin's decision was ultimately influenced by Pirate Software's defiant stance. Video evidence, containing explicit language, supports these claims.

Pirate Software's subsequent Twitter response contested the handling of the situation. The incident highlights the high stakes of Hardcore WoW gameplay and the intense pressure within high-profile guilds. Given the recent influx of players to the Anniversary servers and the ongoing addition of content, further casualties and potential guild restructuring within OnlyFangs are anticipated. The instability of OnlyFangs, with multiple member departures since its recreation on the Doomhowl server, suggests the possibility of splinter groups forming in the future.
