Pirate Software Kicked Out of OnlyFangs World of Warcraft Guild

Summary

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

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

Before Blizzard's official launch of Hardcore servers for World of Warcraft Classic in August 2023, players established their own zero-death guidelines. The subsequent introduction of Anniversary servers in November 2024 revitalized World of Warcraft Classic, significantly impacting the population of the original Classic servers. These Anniversary servers have witnessed numerous Hardcore player deaths, despite some achieving level 60 under the challenging conditions. Sara and Snupy are among the latest casualties, and their deaths directly led to Pirate Software's banishment from OnlyFangs by Sodapoppin.

Social media posts confirm Pirate Software's expulsion, with Guild Master Sodapoppin issuing a statement on Discord explaining the decision. The statement cites discomfort among guild members following the deaths of two players during the Dire Maul North run. The incident unfolded when the group pulled a boss before clearing a pack of Gordok ogres. When another player called for a reset, 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 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 was his unwillingness to accept responsibility for the two Hardcore deaths. A post-run review by Twitch streamer Sodapoppin highlighted Pirate Software's failure to effectively utilize crowd control abilities, specifically suggesting that a rank 1 Blizzard spell could have mitigated the threat without excessive mana expenditure. Other OnlyFangs members, including Mizkif, allege that Pirate Software made threats against fellow streamers following the incident. Pirate Software responded to his expulsion on Twitter, claiming the situation was mishandled.

Given the numerous expulsions from 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, further OnlyFangs deaths are anticipated as new dungeons and raids are introduced.
