We haven't been given a timeframe to appeal a single strike: it all happened instantly. Of course, the trailers and our content videos haven't been entirely lost, we're looking into our options to preserve them online to share on other platforms.
We always treated the creators respectfully and advertised ourselves as a modding team, not a "free-wow". It's sad to get our content wiped out like that from YouTube. They inspired so many people to become developers, musicians, 3D artists, or writers, and many used to believe it is worth a lot more than a few lost subs...
Losing our channel is just a bump on the road, however, we're extremely upset to lose all of your feedback and compliments expressed in countless positive comments each time we were to publish a new soundtrack or a dungeon teaser!
Our other social media accounts have received copyright strikes as well but weren't entirely taken down luckily. We're looking into options to keep all communications in-house in the future.
Taking into consideration a new trend of private server's social media being shut down by certain corporates, we're humbly asking you to post your artworks, guild advertisements, or any other relevant information from Discord, on our forums as well. Here it'll be safe!
We're also working on securing our main server infrastructure by setting up additional off-site backups and data replication to prevent any losses of your progress in case of any unexpected circumstances.
We know because of the recent population growth gameplay hasn't been as smooth as before recently, so in the upcoming weeks, Turtle WoW will receive a major hardware upgrade to support the growing number of players.
Thank you for choosing Turtle WoW.
Slowly turtling my way up.
