Blizzard Sues Grandma for Running Classic WoW Server in Retirement Home

In a shocking turn of events, Blizzard Entertainment has filed a lawsuit against a 78-year-old grandmother for hosting a World of Warcraft private server in her retirement home.

According to sources, Mildred Jenkins, a retired schoolteacher, has been running a Vanilla WoW server out of her senior living community’s communal computer room for the past six months. Players from around the world have been logging in to relive the glory days of Azeroth, much to the delight of Mildred’s fellow residents.

Blizzard’s legal team caught wind of the server after receiving multiple reports of ‘suspiciously high activity’ in the retirement home’s network. They promptly sent a cease and desist letter to Mildred, demanding that she shut down the server immediately.

In a statement to the press, Mildred expressed shock and confusion over the lawsuit, stating, ‘I was just trying to bring a little joy to my friends here. I didn’t think Blizzard would come after me like this.’

The case is set to go to court next month, where Mildred will be represented by her grandson, a law student at a local university. Legal experts speculate that Blizzard may have a tough time winning the case, given Mildred’s age and the non-commercial nature of the server.

Meanwhile, players on Mildred’s server have organized a petition to support her cause, with thousands signing in solidarity. The hashtag #FreeMildred is now trending on social media, with gamers everywhere showing their support for the elderly WoW enthusiast.
