Summary
- Pirate Software was expelled from the OnlyFangs guild following a disastrous Dire Maul North run that resulted in Hardcore deaths.
- His refusal to accept responsibility for the incident led to his removal by Guild Master Sodapoppin.
Pirate Software has been ousted from the World of Warcraft streamer guild, OnlyFangs, after a failed Dire Maul North run. This dungeon, recently introduced to the World of Warcraft Anniversary servers, has already claimed several Hardcore lives within OnlyFangs.
Prior to the official launch of Hardcore servers in August 2023, players adhered to self-imposed zero-death rules. The introduction of Hardcore servers saw a dip in popularity until the Anniversary servers were added in November 2024, revitalizing World of Warcraft Classic and causing a decline in the original Classic server population. Since their integration into Blizzard's server lineup, numerous Hardcore players have met their demise, while others have successfully reached level 60 under these stringent conditions. Among the recent casualties in World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore are Sara and Snupy, prompting Guild Master Sodapoppin to ban the responsible player from OnlyFangs.
Multiple social media posts confirm that Pirate Software was removed from OnlyFangs by Sodapoppin, who issued a statement on Discord. The statement revealed that a majority of guild members felt uneasy continuing to play with Pirate Software after the deaths of two members during a Dire Maul North run. The incident occurred when the group, after engaging a boss prematurely, attempted to reset by fleeing the dungeon. Pirate Software abandoned the group during their escape, leading to the deaths of Sara and Snupy. Despite the possibility of remaining in the guild under normal circumstances, Pirate Software's refusal to acknowledge his role in the mishap led to his expulsion. A video documenting the event is available, though it contains strong language.
This is Why Pirate Software Was Kicked From the World of Warcraft Guild OnlyFangs
The primary criticism leveled against Pirate Software was his unwillingness to accept responsibility for the two Hardcore deaths, particularly for not effectively using crowd control abilities. During a review of the run, Twitch streamer Sodapoppin highlighted that Pirate Software could have utilized Blizzard rank 1 to slow down the enemies without depleting too much mana. Other OnlyFangs members, such as Mizkif, have suggested that Pirate Software's threats to fellow streamers post-incident contributed to his removal. Pirate Software addressed his expulsion on Twitter, claiming the situation was mishandled.
Since the guild's reformation on the Anniversary server Doomhowl, several members have been expelled, and some may form their own groups. With Blizzard continuing to update World of Warcraft Classic with Vanilla-accurate patches, the addition of new dungeons and raids could lead to more OnlyFangs casualties.
