Chance “sodapoppin” Morris has officially ended his highly successful OnlyFangs project in World of Warcraft following persistent DDoS attacks that made gameplay nearly impossible. The collaborative guild effort in WoW‘s hardcore mode had become a streaming sensation before technical issues forced its conclusion.
The guild has achieved remarkable popularity on Twitch, bringing hardcore WoW to the forefront of streaming content for months. Players created unique experiences, including tribute chests and leveling tutorials, that attracted massive viewership.
Server stability became the guild’s ultimate enemy as targeted DDoS attacks repeatedly knocked players offline. The breaking point came during attempted Blackwing Lair raids, where disconnections made progress futile despite multiple attempts to continue.
“Sucks that the DDoSers won,” commented one fan, echoing the frustration felt throughout the community. Despite the disappointment, most viewers expressed support for sodapoppin and the guild officers who managed the project from its start.
Blizzard has faced criticism for poor DDoS protection and lacking customer support. Many fans suggested better server security measures could have kept the project from ending too soon.
The impact of OnlyFangs went beyond just entertainment value. The project showed how collaborative streaming events can bring new life to older games and create engaging content through community participation.
DDoS attacks remain a frequent threat in online gaming, particularly targeting high-profile streamers whose schedules and server information are publicly available. While other gaming platforms have developed better protections, WoW servers seem especially vulnerable to these disruptions.
Despite its sudden conclusion, OnlyFangs leaves behind a legacy of unforgettable streaming moments and a blueprint for future collaborative projects—provided they can overcome the technical hurdles that ultimately brought down sodapoppin’s clan.
