Blizzard wins court ruling, Turtle WoW private servers ordered offline

Activision Blizzard won its copyright case against Turtle WoW in California federal court, securing an immediate cease-and-desist and a permanent injunction to halt development, distribution, and promotion of Turtle WoW and related private servers. Blizzard and Turtle WoW’s owners reached a settlement, with terms confidential and a dismissal expected within 60 days, signaling a likely end to the Turtle WoW network (donations disabled on the site, ongoing discussions unlikely to yield a fan-licensing path).
