Glad to see Turtle WoW getting more attention since this very video Kargoz is reacting too got a copyright strike from Blizz today. I do an independent news program for turtle wow radio (yes they have in game radio) if any of you are curious to see what the community is like.

[@rofltastic12]

Playing on Turtle Wow while watching this! This server has been everything Classic+ hoped to be

[@kargozgaming]

Enjoy!

[@remyd8767]

How is the non English population? I remember playing months ago and most didn't speak English

[@Beanwiener]

Fixed. They have their own booming Asian servers (3 or 5) separate from the EU/NA one​@@remyd8767

[@LTymeEdits]

@@remyd8767 I've played for years and there was only a like 2-ishmonth period where 10-15% of the Server was Chinese.. but now they have their own Chinese Turtle server... I'm not sure I have ever experienced a period of turtle with less than 90% spoke english (except the Chinese era when only about 85% of the server spoke english).. and I have played atleast a whole calendar year in each major region (NA, EU, and currently I live in Japan and play during Asia/OCE hours)

[@evsanger]

​@@remyd8767 been playing for about a year. There used to be a lot of Chinese players but they created a separate server for them so now it's mostly english

[@alvarodifini5017]

Turtle wow enjoyer here. Dropping a server review for those curious. Hardcore community: friendly and awesome. In-game support, and exclusive HC chat for everyone in the grind. World chat: mixed bag. Quite a few racist assholes Guilds: numerous. The server is fully progressed, but there are progression guilds that are making their way through BWL and AQ as we speak. Leveling: default rates 1x with easy access to a full bar of rested exp. Quest zones populated but it's infrequent to have to compete for regular mobs, other than named quest mob targets sometimes. PvP: I'm more of a PvE player so idk really. BGs pop often, there's an arena system. The server is not PvP by default, but while leveling (not just at lvl 1, whenever you feel like starting) you can toggle Warmode. It gives you a flat +30% exp bonus but flags you permanently. You can remove Warmode once, if you regret it. Most non-HC level in Warmode for the exp bonus, so if you're a world PvP enthusiast, you'll have targets. PvE: the server has several guilds with Naxx on farm, but also quite a few in progression. The custom dungeons are nice but they're not that often run. You usually have to ask in world chat for a while to find people. The custom raids are run more often, Karazhan (not a clone of tbc Kara. Same building but different bosses and loot) is the most popular, the higher tier is Emerald Sanctum which has two bosses but Naxx-level loot. Professions: There are a few custom recipes both while leveling and for endgame. They are either raid drops, require exalted reputation or other types of money/time sink. Custom (Frankenstein) content content: it's very well made both encounter balance wise and the quests and stories that lead you there don't feel out of place. Example: in Wetlands they added a new quest hub whose main questchain follows the same themes as the larger Westfall, Redridge, Duskwood story of the Stormwind nobility being corrupt, without repeating plot points from other areas. It feels cohesive. Hope y'all try it out! It's a lot of fun

[@Jubafree]

And it has a lot of new quests and new leveling dungeons. Some little class changes to make meme specs viable.

[@Vamprei]

Can HC characters summon banks and vendors to them, and all the other pay-for-convenience stuff? If so, kind of ruins the challenge a bit.

[@Yashtcm]

4:50 that is NOT SFK, it's a new custom dungeon lvl 42-50 they made called Gilneas City in Gilneas.

[@ShapeNoise]

Perfect example of why Community > Shareholders

[@Krahamus]

So basically they are porting wow source code to U5 with asset's, they said asset textures will be updated to HD to match U5 lighting and other modern things to not look out of phase, also because of port to U5, devs will be able to make new content much faster and easier, back end infrastructure also inproved with smoother gameplay.

[@Leonaidas]

It will also let the adjust the game easier since it will be an updated client.

[@dailybs555]

I heard the narrator is a og wow dev.

[@kargozgaming]

If that's the case, that's pretty funny and awesome

[@Shippo1337]

Yes his name is Designer Dave he has a YT Channel!

[@saintemz4648]

yep he worked on wc3 and vanilla wow

[@GHIBaal]

POGGERS Kargoz back is a GIFT for the Classic Community !

[@kargozgaming]

[@martinhensel8737]

Agreed!

[@seanl7464]

Bro, I can't explain how good it is to have you back in the vanilla community. You get me so hyped. How good is this game right now and look at what is coming. holy fk brother!

[@kargozgaming]

Thank you very much!

[@foamingclean596]

I think the point of the change is in large part so that the team is more easily able to change and update the game themselves after hitting a limit on what they were able to do with the clunky vanilla backend.

[@kargozgaming]

Good point, could be!

[@remyd8767]

Can't wait for the VR version. That's what i need

[@GoodOmenGaming]

Its good to have you back bro. I still listen to your class guides on long car rides.

[@user-bi1yw1du7q]

Turtle wow is a good server. They keep adding new content and is free to play.

[@NeinnLive]

I play Turtle WoW since last summer... best decision ever!

[@ewelxyn]

The worgen zone is the beggining of the new custom gilneas city dungeon, an around 45-48 dungeon

[@CatDad09]

Can you imagine open world PvP in the darkness of Duskwood? Survival horror vibes 😅 Btw, I love vanilla WoW on a Steam Deck. My wife got me an OLED just so I could play in bed 😂

[@thisiskt9210]

Almost everything Turtle added is optional. You can participate in whatever content you wish. If you don't want to give the new dungeons/zones or factions a go, you can still do just the vanilla content.

[@thedomroute]

If they release this as untouched vanilla and just a graphics update I’d play I think. Already imagining how epic MC/BWL and other instances would be as well as PvP BG’s

[@andrewcooper9898]

Hey Kargoz!! Always loved your hc play thrus where you jacked up the settings and had a crispy UI 👌🏻 This wil be next level!! I hope they pull it off

[@kargozgaming]

Hey! Hope so too, doing our best!

[@Kezzic]

Hey! PSA: Ascension WoW is also planning on launching a Classic+ server too! I don't have a timeline on it, but they announced it on their YT Community page and they also have a Discord for it up and running.

[@bebra_shelby]

Turtle WoW gang rise up! 🐢 💪

[@Therix11487]

They need to make darkness a part of the game, along with torches and player controlled lighting effects. Running into a pitch black cave with a torch and getting mob agro b4 u can even see the mobs would be fucking epic. Running pitch black dungeons with a group, 5 people with torches only, limmited lighting in the dungeons itlself... imagine u in wailing caverns and people running ahead of u and all u see is the person with a torch and limited light around said person and u just hear mobs chasing and growling in the dark, now knowing which way they coming from. That shit would be glorious.

[@saintemz4648]

@@Therix11487 I think that might be a part of the plan, Turtle-wow has a semi-boring new bonus profession called Survival which can craft stuff like torches. They have announced that they are going to rework the profession to make it more engaging in the future

[@ggnightshadegg3350]

If the lighting in ashenvale was the night time cycle, I'm down. But if that's how it always is I'm not so sure. The zones with the UD feel should be dreary, but not completely dark all the time. Would have been nice to see the day/night cycles if they are different in each zone.

[@user-vb5uk1ve1w]

Fantastic!! Great work team Kargoz/VincentADK! 🎉

[@kargozgaming]

Thank you very much!

[@amarjamakovic1297]

After playing TWoW I can't go back to vanilla or retail.

[@fadedtimes]

I think it will force MS/Blizzard to take it down, it is their IP and they'll need to protect it, especially with mobile apps and it running on a different engine/client.

[@bassisku]

They've already made millions from their cash shop from turtle wow, since it has been running for years. The server is in russia so good luck taking it down.

[@kargozgaming]

Really not sure if they can actually take down Turtle WoW. What Blizzard did was going after their KZbin channel, that was quite a while ago, i could see this happen again. If Blizzard goes after their host provider, they can just switch to another one pretty much. But we will see ofc!

[@saintemz4648]

The EU/NA server is hosted in the UK with a backup in the balkans and they also have like 4 servers in south east asia for their chinese playerbase. Only part of that blizzard really can strike against is the UK server but then it will be up and running within a few hours on the backup.

[@DaleStrife]

If night elves had better dark vision, that would be lit

[@Triclone8706]

Blizzard is cooked bruh

[@drudown91]

Well done, charred, burnt.

[@Tornciti]

True but if this gets too big they might also shut it down as they did with many other private servers.

[@Tornciti]

@@javininja2 Sure thing: Felmyst Elysium Warmane ( later relaunched) Omega WoW Scriptcraft Kronos ( this one is only part due to blizzard legal actions) If you need more just ask :)

[@Krahamus]

​@@TorncitiThe main guy running twow is Russian so good luck shutting it down, even if server is outaide Russia and they manage to do tru server provider, they can easily rent use other pserver and use backups

[@Tornciti]

@@Krahamus I hope you are right because I am really looking forward to this experience and it would suck to loose months/years of progress again. Being in Russia does not mean anything. Multiple private servers were hosted in Russia and were shut down by blizzard, like: WoW Circle Molten-WoW Sunwell etc..

[@Tornciti]

Will try for sure, UE will make the game look like how we remember it looking like as a kid!

[@1Wade9]

The music... Please keep the original music and sounds which were perfect for this game and will make you feel that you are in the same world even though it may look different.

[@ShapeNoise]

Map editor/WoW Edit is gonna happen. Blizz been sleeping on this.

[@leonardozarate4348]

It reminds me of modern Minecraft shaders + a few graphical tweaks and it looks great. I will definitely try it out when in releases in god knows how many years. These things always get delayed

[@saintemz4648]

They've a fulltime paid dev team working on the UE port, which is a seperate team form their dev team working on content updates, so the 2025 release date is pretty realistic. Turtle has been pretty good the past few years with keeping their release date targets on their content updates.

[@leonardozarate4348]

@@saintemz4648 nice to know !

[@Boilerguydave]

Finally, some turtle hype!

[@benverpoort131]

Can't wait for this shit. Definitely coming back to classic.

[@petio123]

Hyped! See you there 😉

[@skippyzk]

Kargoz found the hyperbarric chamber! god damn! my boy on swole

[@Valdaur]

Blizzard copyright striked the original video it seems. Wanted to watch it without all the pausing, RIP.

[@TRG29338]

Turtle's website is hosting it

[@sseetthh]

never noticed darkshire gates said darkshire lol also duskwood in this shit is gonna be chefs kiss

[@denniszerkel]

Dude duskwood is creepy as hell as it is. It's going to be straight up terrifying with the new lighting model.

[@temetnosce2099]

Blizz took the trailer down. How pathetic.

[@Kavou]

Turtle WoW has been the best thing after Nost. Absolutely having a blast there. No way retail Classic gets like that anytime soon.

[@gaius9240]

I noticed that the trees are still the odd layered 2d style foliage, so yeah I do think are using old assets. I also never ever wanted to go ashenvale before now either

[@Bramandin]

Dude Kargoz always looks different. Each and every day, never looking same way twice. If he didn't have real tats, I would believe he's a team of 10 people switching out the main guy constantly and having the same one do voice over all the time.

[@sate_f]

Wait so Turtle Wow is going to release a client running on Unreal Engine or did I got it mixed?

[@venvvs]

The modding capabilities are going to be insane. Not to mention being playable in android. Hopefully this will become commom practise.

[@denniszerkel]

in the Dev Questions after the release, they mentioned that it will also have full controller support which is great news for steam deck since you cant use ConsolePort with turtle WoW

[@maxvanfleet]

But you have a consol supporter addon like ConsolePort

[@0mr0z0]

Holy shit bro been a minute since i saw one of your video !! Keep up the grind looking good my friend

[@martinhensel8737]

Yo Kargoz, could you not use your connection to the boy Aggrend to fix the classic era changes, and also give us back logout skips, as they are a weird excuse for an anti botting meassure, which is ineffective, because these f‘ers are flyhacking anyways?

[@tommya5203]

Apparently they aren't doing a fresh server, kind of a bummer.. still a great achievement though

[@kevinabood3598]

That sucks

[@Ninjastyle124]

Turtle's anti-fresh because one of their core promises back in 2018 was to offer a refuge from the constant fresh migrations. They want it to be a server where you can quit and come back in 2-3 years and still have your progress matter instead of being forced to move onto the next Fresh realm to play with everyone.

[@u4iadreams]

@@Ninjastyle124 how do they keep the economy in check?

[@Jubafree]

​@@u4iadreamseconomy is very stable cuz no gold buying no bots no gdkp

[@Jubafree]

The servers can just handle Max 12k players at the same time so if that update drops they are forced to open fresh servers.

[@xxxxgrinxxxx]

ackshually spoooky

[@azzag123456]

UE hype

[@Henrik9]

You didn’t watch the end! I share your excitement though. Have been playing there since classic tbc launched.

[@AbstractType1]

And why arent Blizzard going to stop this before launch same as every other community WoW project?

[@Leonaidas]

The talk is cheap line isn't a line on TWow, I have played it awhile and this game does it right. From the HC to the Normal gameplay its more stable than blizzard has ever had it. (I've played since early BC on retail).

[@isaiascandido8497]

But its a private server, right?

[@xzBorn_]

How will they be allowed to have this released?

[@TheRealOod]

C&D incoming

[@macmac6064]

5:01 new dungeon called Gilneas City for lvl 40+

[@kargozgaming]

Thank you!

[@stevenmartin6271]

Let’s go

[@rng81]

How does this Turtle WoW work anyways? Do you need to pay a monthly fee or how are they making money?

[@Krahamus]

It's a private server so no monthly fees, they are doing so by donations maybe in game cash shop.

[@bassisku]

Its a private server so it is free and downloadable, but it has a cash shop with a lot of QOL items/cosmetics

[@milesmorales5271]

Cash shop that sells certain mounts, QoL features and durational cosmetics.

[@rvt_h3d]

they have a cash shop that sells bags, mounts etc. Their China customer base is massive
