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 immediate dismissal by Guild Master Sodapoppin.

Pirate Software's tenure with the prominent World of Warcraft streaming guild OnlyFangs ended abruptly after a fatal Dire Maul North encounter. The incident occurred on the recently added World of Warcraft Anniversary servers, which have already claimed several OnlyFangs Hardcore characters.

Before the official launch of Blizzard's 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, countless Hardcore players have perished, while others have achieved the challenging feat of reaching level 60 under these strict conditions. Sara and Snupy are among the latest casualties, with Pirate Software bearing the responsibility and subsequent ban from OnlyFangs.

Social media posts confirm Pirate Software's expulsion by Guild Master Sodapoppin, who issued a statement on Discord explaining the decision. The statement cites widespread discomfort among guild members after the deaths of two players during a Dire Maul North run. The incident unfolded when the group pulled a boss before clearing nearby Gordok ogres. Following a call to reset the encounter, Pirate Software abandoned the group during the escape, resulting in the deaths of Sara and Snupy. While OnlyFangs typically has more lenient rules, Pirate Software's refusal to acknowledge his role in the incident sealed his fate.

This is Why Pirate Software Was Kicked From the World of Warcraft Guild OnlyFangs

The primary criticism leveled against Pirate Software centers on his unwillingness to accept responsibility for the two Hardcore deaths. A post-run review by popular Twitch streamer Sodapoppin highlighted Pirate Software's failure to utilize crowd control abilities effectively, suggesting that a timely Blizzard rank 1 spell could have mitigated the situation without excessive mana expenditure. Some OnlyFangs members, including Mizkif, allege that Pirate Software made threats against fellow streamers following the Dire Maul incident. Pirate Software responded to his dismissal on Twitter, expressing dissatisfaction with the handling of the situation.

Given the high turnover rate within OnlyFangs since its recreation on the Anniversary server Doomhowl, some former members may form their own guild. With Blizzard continuing to update World of Warcraft Classic with Vanilla-accurate patches, the potential for further OnlyFangs casualties increases as new dungeons and raids are introduced.
