If you're a fan of World of Warcraft and seeking a fresh twist on the classic experience, Turtle WoW stands out as the quintessential fan-made WoW Classic Plus server. With nearly seven years under its belt, this private server has revamped the original 20-year-old MMO with a plethora of innovative changes that breathe new life into the game.
From subtle tweaks like updated Flight Point locations and improved Zeppelin/Boat travel, to monumental overhauls that introduce substantial new content, Turtle WoW redefines what the Classic WoW experience can be. Whether you're a veteran player craving a new challenge, or someone unsatisfied with the various WoW versions currently available, Turtle WoW's alterations might just be what you're looking for.
1. High Elves & Goblins Are Playable In Classic
High Elves For The Alliance, Goblins For The Horde
Turtle WoW introduces two new playable races: the High Elves of the Silvermoon Remnants for the Alliance, and the Goblins of the Durotar Labor Union for the Horde. These races blend seamlessly with the vanilla WoW aesthetic, using adapted Goblin models from Classic WoW and modified Blood Elf models for the High Elves.
Both races start in unique zones and offer distinct racial bonuses:
- High Elves gain increased Arcane resistance, a Mana recovery spell, and bonuses to Bow and Enchanting skills.
- Goblins benefit from an ability that boosts Movement Speed for 5 seconds, and receive bonuses to Alchemy, Mining, Dagger, and Mace skills.
2. More Character Creation Options
New Class & Race Combinations & Customizations
Turtle WoW enhances the original WoW experience with a range of new class and race combinations, such as Orcs and Dwarves as Mages, Gnomes, Humans, and Undead as Hunters, and Trolls as Warlocks. Additionally, all races now boast expanded character customization options, including new hair, face, and skin colors, providing much more variety and personalization than in the vanilla game.
3. New Quests & Leveling Zones
The Leveling Experience Is Completely Different
One of the most significant updates in Turtle WoW is the addition of numerous new zones and over a thousand new quests. These quests span the entirety of Azeroth, integrating seamlessly with the game's lore and adding depth to existing zones. New areas, such as Mount Hyjal and Gilneas, previously omitted from the vanilla release, now come alive with their own environments, soundtracks, quest lines, dungeons, and unique items.
For those who cherished the leveling journey in Classic WoW, Turtle WoW offers a fresh and satisfying progression to level 60.
4. Fresh Endgame Content In Turtle WoW
New Dungeons & Raids For Turtle WoW's Endgame
Reaching max level in Turtle WoW opens up a wealth of new endgame content. This includes revitalized dungeons and raids that were cut from the original game, such as the Karazhan Crypt, and new raids like Gilneas City, complete with unique bosses, mechanics, and endgame items. The endgame in Turtle WoW feels like a true expansion, enhancing the original game's lore and gameplay.
5. Transmogrification & Jewelcrafting
Later-Expansion Features Adapted For Classic WoW
Turtle WoW adopts features from later WoW expansions, including Transmogrification and the Jewelcrafting profession. While Transmogrification debuted in Cataclysm, Jewelcrafting was introduced in The Burning Crusade. In Turtle WoW, Jewelcrafters craft necklaces and rings rather than socketable Gems, functioning somewhat like a specialized Blacksmith.
Transmogrification is unique here as it cannot be bought with Gold; instead, players earn Fashion Coins from quests given by the Fashionista in capital cities to purchase Transmog options.
6. New Turtle WoW Mounts & Pets
And Ground Mounts Speed Up Based On Your Riding Skill
Turtle WoW caters to mount and pet enthusiasts with an extensive collection of new mounts and pets. While some are available through the microtransaction store, most can be earned in-game. Additionally, the server introduces a new mechanic where ground mount speed increases incrementally with your Riding skill, functioning similarly to a Weapon skill.
Noncombat Pets are plentiful, including critters from vanilla WoW now available as companions, alongside many new pets. However, some of these new additions are exclusive to the Turtle WoW shop.
