Summary

• Pirate Software was expelled from the OnlyFangs guild after causing Hardcore deaths in a failed Dire Maul North run.
• Pirate Software's refusal to accept responsibility for the deaths led to his removal by Guild Master Sodapoppin.

Pirate Software has been ousted from the World of Warcraft streamer guild, OnlyFangs, following a disastrous run in Dire Maul North. This dungeon was recently introduced to the World of Warcraft Anniversary servers, which have been a catalyst for several Hardcore deaths within OnlyFangs.

Prior to Blizzard's official launch of Hardcore servers in August 2023, players were already engaging in zero-death challenges on Classic servers. The introduction of Hardcore servers saw a dip in popularity until the Anniversary servers were added in November 2024, revitalizing interest in World of Warcraft Classic and leaving the original Classic servers with a diminished player base. Since the Anniversary servers went live, numerous Hardcore players have met their demise, while others have successfully reached level 60 under these stringent conditions. The latest casualties include Sara and Snupy, prompting Guild Master Sodapoppin to ban the culprit, Pirate Software, from OnlyFangs.

Multiple social media posts confirm that Pirate Software was removed from OnlyFangs following a guild consensus, as detailed in a Discord statement by Sodapoppin. The statement highlighted that the majority of guild members felt uneasy continuing to play with Pirate Software after the deaths of two members during a World of Warcraft Classic Dire Maul North run. The incident unfolded when the group, after engaging a boss prematurely, attempted to reset by fleeing the dungeon. Pirate Software chose to abandon the group during the escape, which ultimately led to the deaths of Sara and Snupy. Despite the possibility of remaining in the guild, Pirate Software's refusal to acknowledge his role in the mishap led to his expulsion. The full incident, including strong language, is documented in a video available online.

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 due to his ineffective use of crowd control abilities. In a post-run analysis, Twitch streamer Sodapoppin criticized Pirate Software's tactics, suggesting that using Blizzard rank 1 could have slowed the enemies without depleting too much mana. Other OnlyFangs members, such as Mizkif, have indicated that Pirate Software's removal was also influenced by alleged threats made to fellow streamers after the Dire Maul run. In response to his expulsion, Pirate Software took to Twitter to express his dissatisfaction with how the situation was managed.

As numerous members have been removed from OnlyFangs since its reformation on the Anniversary server Doomhowl, some may form their own guilds. With Blizzard continuously updating World of Warcraft Classic with Vanilla-accurate patches, the potential for more OnlyFangs deaths increases as new dungeons and raids are introduced.
