Seems 2026 is the year where Blizzard is taking down Private Servers. End of the Era for Turtle and Ascension WoW. I barely played both because of poor internet. Through I did played on Turtle more but still bit of shame then again shouldn't have done ads in the first place.

After successfully taking down Turtle WoW, Blizzard has now set its sights on the long running private server Ascension WoW.
Blizzard has named Derek S. Powell in the lawsuit, claiming he is responsible for running the private server.
Similar to the Turtle WoW case, Blizzard is citing the RICO Act, the law used against organised crime.
