I can't believe people defending this, I already said and I will say it again, I'm ALL for private servers, but these fricking guys were using art and stuff Blizzard created and profiting from it, they fucked up and deserve to be down, get over it, stop defending the indefensible.

How can you be all for private severs, but against them using “art and stuff”? Have you ever played a private server that didn’t use WoW assets? That would just be another game.

Come on man, at least put some elbow grease on it, normal private servers don't use "wow assets", YOU own the client, Turtle WoW instead built extra worlds with Blizzard's assets and charged for it with a DIFFERENT client, that's IP stealing, and that's illegal like it or not. Totally different things.

It’s not like the actual creators/artists have the IP they were all nickel and dimed by blizzard (now microsoft) as well.
