Breaking: Illegal Software Purge at World of Warcraft Guild

Summary

World of Warcraft streamer Pirate Software was expelled from the OnlyFangs guild following a disastrous Dire Maul North run in the Classic Anniversary servers. His refusal to accept responsibility for the deaths of two Hardcore guild members, Sara and Snupy, directly led to his dismissal by Guild Master Sodapoppin.

The incident occurred after the group engaged a boss prematurely, pulling aggro from a pack of Gordok ogres. When a party member called for a retreat and reset, Pirate Software abandoned the group, resulting in the deaths. While normally this might not warrant expulsion, Pirate Software's unwillingness to acknowledge his role (specifically, his failure to utilize crowd control abilities like Blizzard rank 1 effectively) and subsequent actions solidified the decision. Reports also suggest he made threats to other streamers following the incident.

This event highlights the high stakes of Hardcore WoW gameplay, particularly within a high-profile guild like OnlyFangs. The guild, recently reformed on the Anniversary server Doomhowl, has experienced several member departures, potentially leading to the formation of new groups. With Blizzard's continued updates to Classic, introducing new challenges, further casualties within OnlyFangs and other guilds are anticipated. Pirate Software publicly disputed the guild's handling of the situation on Twitter. A video review by Sodapoppin detailing the incident (containing strong language) is available online.
