Blizzard Sues Grandma for Running WoW Private Server from Retirement Home

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

According to sources close to the case, Grandma Gertie, as she is affectionately known by her guildmates, has been running the illicit server for the past six months, offering free mounts and unlimited gold to players who join her community. Blizzard’s legal team caught wind of the operation after monitoring suspicious server activity in the region.

In a statement released to the press, Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick expressed his disappointment in Grandma Gertie’s actions, stating, ‘We will not tolerate any unauthorized use of our intellectual property, no matter how sweet the perpetrator may seem.’

The WoW community has been divided in their response to the lawsuit, with some players rallying behind Grandma Gertie as a folk hero of the private server scene, while others condemn her for breaking the rules of the game. Amidst the controversy, Grandma Gertie remains defiant, vowing to continue running her server until the bitter end.

As the legal battle between Blizzard and Grandma Gertie unfolds, one thing is clear: the world of WoW private servers is a dangerous and unpredictable place, where even the most unlikely of heroes can emerge. In the meantime, players looking for a safer alternative can always turn to Wrath-Reborn EU, where they can enjoy a free Celestial Steed, 10 gold, and level 5 riding for every new account.
