Turtle WoW is just an all around better classic experience.
The new content fits in the zones, fits with the lore and slower leveling journey.
I will never go play a vanilla classic server from Blizzard again after playing this.
This is made by people who actually care about the game and don't just want your money.
Dunno about that last part. According to some comments I've read, the head of this project has been doing some shady shit for years.
Running their own mount shop in-game, taking other people's work without permission, selling gold, whatever.
That's tame compared to blizzard tbf. Anyways these projects depend entirely on the reputation of the project and the goodwill of the community, you don't have to trust someone when their cashflow depends on you liking what they're making.
This was just to give some possible context about part of the first comment, that said this is made by a team that don't just want your money.
To the devs behind this private server (or maybe just the leadership), this is a business, probably pretty profitable. They've been running ads, seemingly made to look like you're going to play legit WoW. They've done this stuff before, (allegedly) exploiting others, stealing donation money, RMT, to make a quick buck themselves, before jumping to the next one.
