Turtle WoW Unique Features
Posted: Mon Aug 19, 2019 10:21 am
Greetings! If you want to learn more about Turtle WoW, you've come to the right place! We've been online for almost three years and we have decided to make a summary of what's been done and what's ahead.
First of all, we run on 1.15.x game client — the first ever fully-interactive story expansion for Vanilla WoW. This expansion takes a different path from Burning Crusade, emphasizing the familiar Azeroth of Vanilla WoW over the cosmic battle with the Legion. It's heavily based on the background lore from Warcraft 3 and Vanilla WoW, and seeks to follow some of the story threads from those games without breaking established lore.
You can read about it here: https://turtle-wow.org/expansion
New Playable Races New Zones
New Factions and Reputation Rewards
We're adding reputation vendors for all existing factions to make leveling reputation with them more rewarding and relevant: mounts, gear, recipes and unique companions! Reputation quartermaster stocks are often expanded so recheck them time to time.
Alliance Quartermasters Horde Quartermasters Neutral Quartermasters Hardcore Mode
Inspired by Diablo games and actual Hardcore Challenge of Classic realms, we welcome you to join the true test of your player's skills: leveling as a mortal being: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=1636
Discord Rich Presence
Our modified client comes packed with a system that shows that you're playing on the server on your Discord profile, tracking time played and showing you're a real turtle. If you want to opt-out of this you can disable Rich Presence in your Discord settings. If you're worried about its contents you can check our source code at: https://github.com/slowtorta/turtlewow-discord-overlay
