Malware Evicted from Renowned WoW Community

Summary

World of Warcraft streamer Pirate Software was expelled from the OnlyFangs guild following a disastrous Dire Maul North run in the Classic Anniversary servers. His refusal to accept responsibility for the deaths of two Hardcore guild members, Sara and Snupy, resulted in his dismissal by Guild Master Sodapoppin.

The incident occurred after the group pulled a boss prematurely, triggering a large pack of Gordok ogres. When another member called for a retreat and reset, Pirate Software abandoned the group, leading to the deaths. While typically OnlyFangs might have tolerated the mistake, Pirate Software's subsequent defiance and unwillingness to take blame sealed his fate. A Discord statement from Sodapoppin confirmed the expulsion, citing widespread guild discomfort. (Note: A video detailing the event contains strong language.)

Reasons for Expulsion:

The primary reason cited was Pirate Software's failure to utilize crowd control abilities, specifically Blizzard rank 1, to mitigate the threat posed by the ogres. Twitch streamer Sodapoppin highlighted this oversight during a post-run review. Further fueling the expulsion, some OnlyFangs members, including Mizkif, allege Pirate Software issued threats to fellow streamers after the incident. Pirate Software himself responded on Twitter, contesting the handling of the situation.

Future Implications:

OnlyFangs has seen a significant number of member departures since its recreation on the Doomhowl server. This latest expulsion may lead to the formation of new groups. With Blizzard's ongoing Classic updates introducing new content, the potential for further Hardcore deaths and guild drama remains high.
