In the latest version of the highly anticipated game World of Warcraft: Forever, fans of popular streamer Asmongold have caused disruptions by flooding the game's public spaces with spam and offensive language. To address this issue, a player named Solastro developed a mod called OlympusMute, designed to block any communication from players associated with Asmongold's multiple guilds and fanbase.
OlympusMute, named after Asmongold's guild Olympus, is a client-side mod that maintains a mute list to prevent players from seeing any chat messages from those linked to Asmongold. The mod hides chat messages from players with "Olympus" in their name and automatically declines group and guild invites from these muted players. According to its description, OlympusMute effectively hides all player chat from muted individuals, including Say, Yell, Emote, Whisper, General/Trade/custom channels, Guild, Party, Raid, Raid Warning, and Instance chats, as well as hiding their chat bubbles in the open world.
Fans of Asmongold's content have been sharing screenshots of chat bubbles containing derogatory remarks, such as calls to "deport all greenskins" and sexually assaulting Palestine. Asmongold himself responded to a similar post, revealing slurs he created for the game's fictional races.
World of Warcraft: Forever's server architecture makes it difficult to avoid Asmongold's fans, as the game groups players based on rulesets rather than the traditional "realms." This change makes it challenging for players who do not want to interact with Asmongold's community to avoid their presence. Additionally, Asmongold's fans have been spamming guild invites upon new players logging in, attempting to absorb them into their group.
Their chat messages also clutter public spaces and trading channels with spam. OlympusMute aims to provide an elegant solution to these problems by keeping Asmongold's players out of a player's face without booting them from the server.
