    This was no mere copy & paste classic server, Turtle was remastering the entire game and releasing their own expansions.

    Post the code so the community can run with it. If one head is cut off, two more will take its place.

      wow private servers are quite notorious for hoarding their cores. and considering torta was in this for profit, it’s understandable she will not be releasing the core.

      the reason this is getting shut down is because she was foolish enough to put a cash shop in. with IP that wasn’t her own.

      now if there was a classic wow core that was FOSS… oh how wonderful that would be!

      It would be nice, but I don’t think they will. Project Epoch would also be awesome if they released the source code. At least we got Azerothcore!
