Two World of Warcraft Private Servers are Shutting Down Soon

Private, fan-made servers are common in many large online games, and World of Warcraft is no different. Many of these servers use the original game files but include changes, ranging from small tweaks to huge additions like new areas, playable races, and challenging raids. While most stay relatively unknown, some, like Turtle WoW, become quite popular. This attention unfortunately led to legal action, as Blizzard sued the creators of Turtle WoW in August 2025 for violating copyright and trademark laws.
