Pirate Software Kicked Out of OnlyFangs World of Warcraft Guild

Summary

• Pirate Software was expelled from the OnlyFangs World of Warcraft guild following a disastrous Dire Maul North run that resulted in the deaths of two Hardcore characters.
• His refusal to accept responsibility for the deaths led to his removal by Guild Master Sodapoppin.

Pirate Software's tenure with the prominent World of Warcraft streamer guild, OnlyFangs, ended abruptly after a failed Dire Maul North run in the recently added Classic Anniversary servers. Dire Maul, a challenging dungeon, has already claimed several OnlyFangs Hardcore characters.

Before Blizzard's official launch of Hardcore servers in August 2023 (which saw a dip in popularity until the November 2024 Anniversary server launch), players established their own zero-death guidelines. The Anniversary servers revitalized World of Warcraft Classic, significantly impacting the population of the original Classic servers. Since their introduction, numerous Hardcore players have perished, while others have achieved the feat of reaching level 60 under the stringent Hardcore rules. Among the recent casualties are Sara and Snupy, whose deaths led to Pirate Software's expulsion by Sodapoppin.

Social media posts confirmed Pirate Software's removal from OnlyFangs, with Guild Master Sodapoppin issuing a Discord statement explaining the decision. The statement highlighted the discomfort felt by many guild members after two members died during the Dire Maul North run. The incident unfolded when the group pulled a boss before clearing a pack of Gordok ogres. Despite a party member's call to reset the enemies by leaving the dungeon, Pirate Software abandoned the group during the escape, contributing to Sara and Snupy's deaths. While normally he might have remained, his unwillingness to take responsibility sealed his fate. [ttpp]This situation is further detailed in a video, 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 refusal to acknowledge his role in the deaths. A post-run review by Twitch streamer Sodapoppin revealed that Pirate Software could have utilized Blizzard rank 1 to slow the enemies without excessive mana expenditure. Other OnlyFangs members, such as Mizkif, have also alleged that Pirate Software issued threats to fellow streamers following the incident. Pirate Software responded to his expulsion on Twitter, expressing dissatisfaction with the handling of the situation.

Given the number of OnlyFangs members dismissed since the guild's reformation on the Anniversary server Doomhowl, some may form their own group. With Blizzard continuing to update World of Warcraft Classic with Vanilla-accurate patches, the potential for further casualties within OnlyFangs remains high as new dungeons and raids are introduced.
