Summary

Pirate Software, a World of Warcraft player, was expelled from the OnlyFangs guild following a disastrous Dire Maul North run in the Classic Anniversary servers. This resulted in the deaths of two Hardcore guild members, Sara and Snupy.

Pirate Software's refusal to accept responsibility for the deaths, stemming from his allegedly ineffective use of crowd control abilities (specifically, Blizzard rank 1), was the primary reason for his dismissal. Guild Master Sodapoppin, in a Discord statement, cited the guild's discomfort with Pirate Software's actions and his subsequent unwillingness to acknowledge his role in the incident. Allegations of threats made by Pirate Software to other streamers following the event have also surfaced.

While Pirate Software disputed the handling of the situation on Twitter, the incident highlights the high stakes of Hardcore mode and the strict accountability within the OnlyFangs guild. The ongoing instability within OnlyFangs, marked by previous member departures since its re-establishment on the Doomhowl server, suggests potential future shifts in the WoW Classic Hardcore streaming scene. The addition of new content through Vanilla-accurate patches further increases the likelihood of future casualties and guild shake-ups.
