Sodapoppin confirmed what many WoW fans already feared: The much-anticipated reboot of his hardcore World of Warcraft guild, Onlyfangs, is being pushed back to November. Soda’s keeping mum on the reasons, but his cryptic announcement has caused a lot of upsets in the Wow Twitch community.
“Trust me, it’ll be worth the wait,” Sodapoppin told his viewers during his most recent stream. The delay is only a month—but in the world of streaming, that’s an eternity. Especially when you do not know why.
For those not in the know, Onlyfangs isn’t just an average WoW guild. It’s a hardcore challenge with strict rules like perma-death and self-found gear. Think of it as WoW on steroids, where one wrong move could end your character forever. And Soda has played a big part in developing it.
The timing is suspicious, to say the least. November happens to be World of Warcraft’s 20th anniversary. Coincidence? Many think not. Fans are betting on fresh servers, or even an official hardcore mode from Blizzard. Or could Blizzard be cooking up a special collaboration with Sodapoppin? The streamer’s silence on the matter has only fueled the fire. Some think he might be under an NDA, hinting at something big in the works.
The most popular theory is that Blizzard might introduce an Ironman mode, similar to Old School RuneScape. This would fit perfectly with Onlyfangs’ hardcore ethos. It could also explain why Soda’s keeping quiet—he might be helping test the new feature.
It’s not just about new game modes though. Communities on Twitch and Reddit are speculating about guild-focused features, or even stricter self-found rules. The possibilities are endless, and the WoW community is having a field day with guesses.
Whatever the reason, Sodapoppin knows how to keep his audience on their toes. The first Onlyfangs event was a massive hit, so he might be right that it is worth waiting. This reboot is set to be even bigger, especially with the added mystery.
