Summary
- Pirate Software was removed from the OnlyFangs guild following Hardcore deaths caused by a failed Dire Maul North run.
- His refusal to accept responsibility for the incident led to his expulsion by Guild Master Sodapoppin.
Pirate Software has been ousted from the World of Warcraft streamer guild, OnlyFangs, after a disastrous run in Dire Maul North. This dungeon, recently introduced to the World of Warcraft Anniversary servers, has already claimed the lives of several OnlyFangs members in Hardcore mode.
Prior to Blizzard's official launch of Hardcore servers in August 2023, players adhered to self-imposed zero-death rules. The popularity of these servers waned until the Anniversary servers were added in November 2024, revitalizing World of Warcraft Classic while diminishing the population of the original Classic servers. Since their introduction, numerous Hardcore players have met their demise, yet some have reached level 60 under these challenging conditions. Among the recent casualties in World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore are Sara and Snupy, prompting Guild Master Sodapoppin to ban the responsible player, Pirate Software, from OnlyFangs.
Multiple social media posts and a Discord statement from Sodapoppin confirmed Pirate Software's removal. The statement highlighted that a majority of guild members felt uneasy continuing to play with him after two members died during the Dire Maul North run. The incident occurred when the group, after aggroing a boss prematurely, attempted to reset by fleeing the dungeon. Pirate Software's decision to abandon the group during their escape contributed 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 incident led to his ousting. 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 grievance against Pirate Software was his unwillingness to accept responsibility for the two Hardcore deaths, particularly for not utilizing crowd control abilities effectively. During a review, Sodapoppin noted that Pirate Software could have used Blizzard rank 1 to slow down the enemies without exhausting too much mana. Additionally, OnlyFangs member Mizkif claimed that Pirate Software's threats towards fellow streamers post-run contributed to his removal. In response to his expulsion, Pirate Software took to Twitter to express his belief that the situation was mishandled.
Since the guild's reformation on the Anniversary server Doomhowl, several members have been removed, 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 may lead to further OnlyFangs casualties.
