As someone that actively participated in this scene for over a decade I thought I would make a post for information and discussion, rather than your usual advertising of the realm you want people to play. I will gladly admit I left private realms a long time ago but I have always stayed aware of what is going on.First some history, I have played many realms dating back to original Feenix, played literally YEARS of played time, worked on serveral projects as part of GM team or bug tester. I built strong relationships with a number of people and honestly tried to be part of the emulation scene. If you would like some historical data I worked on TheRebirth vanilla realm for 6 years as well as helping other realms with cross reporting of cmango's issues. Some old people may know me as GM Wyke or Wyke_Unchained on reddits.I was the very person Torta tried to recruit as a GM for Turtle in its infancy and during that interview/discussion she revealed her ID and links to Elysium.I was subjected to far more than downvote brigading, I was harrased and hunted on social media by idiots and fans of the project. I left reddit and observed. I did occasionally make comments and follow the news both here and on r/wowserversdrama So to the meat and bones of my post...... I am not judging anyone I am seriously curious on others opinions....Will people trust ANY new project again, not just based on the hacking but on the dubvious ownership and "donations" based servers. Do people actually care?Will there be an impact on other realms?Will Turtle reboot with a rollback? what will the impact be.I am an old guy with a thick skin, so I full expect a lot of BS in this thread an in messages directed at me... honestly I dont care. Maybe this post can be a sticky from the MODERATION to show they are not involved in any corruption and let this stand as a post for the test of time for ALL to see the risks involved in playing a private realm. There was a day when owners of realms had integrity and there are still some fine people left in the EMU scene. The problem is that money corrupts..... and over time THIS scene that i used to care so deeply about has become a cash cow for people that honestly dont care one bit about the game or its players. They abuse the goodwill of volunteers, they make thousands a week and now put your security at risk. I look forward to comments replies downvotes and moderation. Regard GM Wyke
