The irony is that the Turtle team released what was probably the best version of WoW, ever. Blizzard had to get it shutdown because it was fucking embarrassing that a fan project more artistically cohesive and more fun to play than anything Blizzard could spit out in decades despite having virtually unlimited resources.

Obviously, the most competent people at Blizzard are lawyers. That Turtle would eventually shutdown was expected.

Hats off to them. I had fun.
