Title: Blizzard finally succeeds as Turtle WoW private server shuts down after defiant 8 year run
Post by: Redaktion on April 21, 2026, 05:17:54
Turtle WoW, one of the longest-running World of Warcraft Classic private servers, is shutting down after Blizzard won a broad copyright infringement case and the parties reached a private settlement, ending the project's nearly eight-year run. The team has pushed all realms to the final progression patch ahead of a May 14 sunset (with full shutdown at midnight May 15), while its website and community channels are slated to go offline on October 16.
