Summary
- World of Warcraft streamer Pirate Software was expelled from the OnlyFangs guild following a disastrous Dire Maul North run resulting in Hardcore character deaths.
- His refusal to accept responsibility for the deaths prompted Guild Master Sodapoppin to remove him.
Pirate Software's expulsion from the prominent World of Warcraft streaming guild, OnlyFangs, stems from a failed Dire Maul North run in the recently added World of Warcraft Anniversary servers. The resurgence of Classic WoW Hardcore gameplay on these servers, following the initial release of official Hardcore servers in August 2023, has seen a significant increase in player deaths. The Anniversary servers, launched in November 2024, revitalized interest in Classic WoW, drawing players away from the original Classic servers. Numerous Hardcore players have perished, while others have achieved level 60 under the challenging conditions. The deaths of Sara and Snupy are the latest casualties, directly leading to Pirate Software's banishment.
Social media posts confirm Sodapoppin's decision, detailed in a Discord statement. The statement cites widespread guild discomfort following the deaths of two members during the Dire Maul North run. The incident unfolded when the group pulled a boss before clearing nearby Gordok ogres. Despite a call to reset the encounter by fleeing the dungeon, Pirate Software abandoned the group during the escape, resulting in the deaths of Sara and Snupy. While typically he might have remained, his refusal to acknowledge his role in the incident solidified Sodapoppin's decision. (Note: Video footage of the incident exists but contains explicit language).
Why Pirate Software's Expulsion from OnlyFangs?
The core issue was Pirate Software's unwillingness to accept blame for the deaths. A post-run review by Sodapoppin highlighted Pirate Software's failure to utilize crowd control, specifically Blizzard rank 1, to mitigate the threat without excessive mana expenditure. Further allegations, from guild members like Mizkif, suggest Pirate Software made threats to fellow streamers after the incident. Pirate Software responded on Twitter, expressing dissatisfaction with the handling of the situation.
OnlyFangs, re-established on the Anniversary server Doomhowl, has experienced several member departures. This could lead to the formation of new groups. With Blizzard's commitment to Vanilla-accurate patching, further OnlyFangs deaths are anticipated as new content is introduced.
