This isn’t an easy message to write, but we need to share some news with you all. After a lot of thought and consideration, we've made the difficult decision to shut down Northrend.gg on September 1st, 2024. 💔
💸 Lack of Donations: We’ve struggled with a lack of donations over the past few months, making it tough to keep things running.
🕹️ Declining Player Count: The lower number of players online has been hard for our team. It’s difficult to stay motivated when our world feels a bit emptier.
🌱 Life Changes for Our Team: Our staff members are ready to move on from the private server scene and focus more on their personal lives and new opportunities.
❄️ Waning Interest in WotLK Servers: It seems like the excitement around Wrath of the Lich King private servers isn’t what it used to be, for both us and many players.
🌐 Private Server Scene: The overall state of the private server community just doesn’t feel as vibrant as it once did.
🏹 New Warcraft Expansion: With Blizzard's new expansions coming out, we understand why many of you are shifting your focus back to the official game.
🧨 Community Challenges: Increasing toxicity within the community has pushed away new players and made things less enjoyable.
We’ve loved building this community with you. The friendships, the late-night raids, and all the memories – they’ve meant the world to us. We never took for granted the amazing times we shared.
Thank you for being a part of Northrend.gg. We’re proud of everything we’ve done together, and we hope to cross paths again, whether in Azeroth or elsewhere. 🌟
