And? My comment wasn't about Blizzard. Them being greedy doesn't mean other people can't (supposedly) be greedy as well. As you can read, I was just talking about one specific part of the parent comment.

This was just to give some possible context about part of the first comment, that said this is made by a team that don't just want your money.

To the devs behind this private server (or maybe just the leadership), this is a business, probably pretty profitable. They've been running ads, seemingly made to look like you're going to play legit WoW. They've done this stuff before, (allegedly) exploiting others, stealing donation money, RMT, to make a quick buck themselves, before jumping to the next one.

Dunno about that last part. According to some comments I've read, the head of this project has been doing some shady shit for years.

Running their own mount shop in-game, taking other people's work without permission, selling gold, whatever.

From the article:

While it was never a mere recreation, it expanded significantly over time. Nowadays, Turtle WoW differs from World of Warcraft with features like additional playable races, leveling zones, quests, endgame content, and transmogrification.

I think around the time Blizzard did their Season of Discovery for Classic WoW, I heard a lot of people talk about Turtle WoW and how they want something more like that (Classic+) and not just the old game anymore.

Looking forward to the next final update.

Here it's apparently done just through a credit card. Does this meet the standards for the German law, I never really looked this stuff up. Dunno if that's enough for the verification or if there are maybe some stipulations, especially with regard to the GDPR.

It would be great if Valve did something for German users though, so I finally gift my friends shitty porn games again.
