Why do people write fanfiction rather than writing their original stuff?
> Oh yeah, because people didn’t want a new game, they wanted free WoW.
That's an error; Turtle WoW isn't a free WoW. It's WoW fixed to classic, with 2 new races, extra content. It's basically their flavor of WoW.
Free WoW exists and it's called a pirate server. This isn't it chief.
It’s WoW but it’s not WoW?
Sounds like they’re talented game designers and they sunk their whole project because they stole art and assets. Sounds like they could have made a cool, new game with their own assets and been successful if it stands so well on its own merits.

It's substantially different from a pirate server.

At the end of the day, they are in essence WoW modders. Plus, a new game with own assets and engine is a different beast compared to modding an existing engine.
