Turtle WoW is a World of Warcraft Private Server that adds to the world we all know and love by adding custom races, reworked classes and new custom locations, quests and items. The journey to level 30 has been exactly what I wanted. I can’t want to discover the rest.
A few months ago I stepped away from Classic WoW due to Season of Mastery not being what I wanted, or what I had hoped for. The community as well felt the same way and slowly they began trickling out until the population on our server and in our guild was at a minimum.
At the time I was still heavily playing Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) so wasn’t too worked about it. But it didn’t take long to see I had an itch for the classic world of warcraft formula.
In this video I will look at my time so far on Turtle WoW. The adventure and journey. The pros and cons of the server. How the community is overall. I’ve only recently learned about the wow private server community. So this should be a lovely little adventure.

The one thing you failed to mention is if you flagged yourself. Try it and your perception of this "great community" will change fast! little kids corpse camping , nasty comments, childish behavior etcetc. Yes you can flag/unflag but it doesnt take away the fact the second u flag, people are ruthlessly camping you… not the kind of people I want to want to share a world with. Other wise it was fun for a month
super overcrowded server = every other good thing useless because u cant really do anything without literally standing in a line to wait. and its making ppl becoming more and more nasty due to the endless competition.
also the fact that they force non-hc and hc ppl onto the same server and yet dont allow them to group more than doubled the problem stemmed from the overcrowded-ness.
What do you think of the cross faction. I didn't realize you can group up with horde as alliance
stopped playing on turtle wow after witnessing large amounts of multiboxers
How is the PVP?
What a great video. Ty.
This is so cool, I've never played a private server, but this looks great.
Well done dude. This server saved my WoW life lol. Almost quit for good after how terrible Classic was for me.
Thinking of downloading this and trying it out.
Is turtle wow better than everlook,what's the main popolulaiton you can see those days;
Loving it. Hardcore makes it so much better and the HC community is great
I want to like Turtle WoW, but the experience is sooooo slow
Just hit level 12 on my High Elf hunter.
Enough said I think!
most of the player base is composed of special snowflakes the community is horrible they are triple vaccinated ukraine supporters in 90% so if you want to go and play on turtle wow you better try to avoid communication with others both in private and in public
Server is broken.
Could excuse the typical glitches of various gathering nodes spawning in trees, rocks, etc, but to have glitches that enables you for pvp, without even showing that you're flagged, is a pathetic joke. Never have I experienced that on any server, let alone one with permadeath.
Instead of allowing users to discuss these issues on the forums, or better yet fix them, the team deletes any post on their forums relating to broken mechanics. The team behind WoWTurtle is unbelievably incompetent.

A turtle made it to the water.
Well, im currently searching for a private server. None of them seems to have a population graph except for Turtle-WoW, which seems to be exploding nowdays. A bit like Nostalrius private server. It started off slow but once it picked up the paste it took off like a rocket. And their popularity got so high that blizzard sued them and received enough backlash for them to release Classic in 2019.
So my question is…. is the "world chat" in constant movement?
You perfectly described the feeling i'm looking for in a private server. Played ascension a bit but gaining 7 levels per dungeon… Subbed!
SHAGU <3
mate… video all and good but your rant about asking someone to boost you only to refuse to boost him, and crying about being denied, just reminded me about the majority of emotionally unstable nerds that play the game. I mean cmon man – it's a market
I just came across this server and it got me hooked right from the start. The additions they made to the game and world are so good, I feel a sense of wonder and immersion again, after years of mindlessly leveling up my characters as fast as possible I'm finally taking my time again, reading quest texts and exploring Azeroth. It's incredible!
The chat is so fucking cringe, man….
what is the UI addon?
No modern graphics and animations? 🙁
Best Server Ever for Good Peple who wants new expirience YOU will not find beter Privet Vanila WoW Server ! 🙂
Do you still play T-WoW?
I'm having a ball. Level 33 Tauren druid named Barfolomew
This is what blizzard should have done. They should have added to the old world, new quest stories, new buildings, zones changes etc….
Nice Video Maze. I am jumping back into the game. Paladin named: CuteFaith
Hello. Awesome video. Can you please upload your UI somewhere?
Love this server, AH being linked across all factions is great, mostly a good community and character progression is great, not to mention the new content in updates
no difference between wow devs and tw devs both equally bad
Wait. You didn’t think SoM felt “authentic and WoW-like”?
Malfurious here, 60 Druid. Been playing for 3+ years. Love this server so much, it reignited my love into WoW after Classic crushed my dreams, lol. 🙂
I learned about it from dodgykebaab’s original video about it, back when the custom features were sparse (tents, torches, cross faction, not much more). It was quite literally a joke in the private server community due to it only having a pop of 50-80 and focusing on RP. But I loved it so much, everyone was so nice and I thought it was so badass that the few level 60s that existed were teaming up between factions to finish the first UBRS runs.
It has been amazing to see Turtle WoW grow over the years since then, with all of these new quests and features. I honestly am kinda sad about the hardcore mode thing. I think they should just make a new server for hardcore, since they only need to group with eachother anyway…
