A popular World of Warcraft fansite in Europe recently decided to call it quits after eleven years of covering WoW content. Like many other World of Warcraft fans leaving the game, this fansite is shutting down due to a lack of passion.

In a recent statement, Patrick (Vanion) from Vanion.eu confirmed that he will no longer be posting new World of Warcraft content. In the statement, he confirmed that the love for the game is gone and he doesn't intend to return to regular coverage until there is significant change at Activision Blizzard. This not only concerns the recent lawsuit concerning Activision Blizzard, but the development team behind World of Warcraft as well.

According to the recent statement from Vanion, the fansite will remain online because of the information that is already compiled there. The team wishes for the information to remain accessible for World of Warcraft fans who are looking for it. Unfortunately for fans of the website, there will likely be no new World of Warcraft content posted to the popular fansite in the foreseeable future.

Vanion's statement about leaving World of Warcraft referenced the recent boom in MMORPGs with New World, Corepunk, Ashes of Creation, and Palia coming out. The statement didn't confirm whether or not Vanion would be delving into other MMO content moving forward, but Vanion will still play World of Warcraft on the side.

According to Vanion's statement, the Tavern Talk podcast will remain, but World of Warcraft fans may find it quite critical of the game. Some of the recent Tavern Talk shows discussed 5 things that destroyed WoW, whether it it better to stay on Azeroth, and if innovation is still possible. Each of these podcasts chronicled Vanion's declining interest in World of Warcraft and preluded the fansite shutting down.

According to Vanion's statement, the overall decline in World of Warcraft's design philosophies was after the Legion expansion. After conducting many interviews with developers and community managers at Activision Blizzard, Vanion claims that their faith in the game isn't improving. This is another of many reasons that Vanion has decided to stop updating the World of Warcraft fansite.

The first Vanion post was uploaded on July 1st, 2010 and since then, it has changed a lot. Vanion.eu originally started as Vanions Cataclysm Beta Show, but it grew and evolved to become a successful blog, guide, and news site that covered all things World of Warcraft. Many Vanion.eu fans have taken to the replies of a recent YouTube video and the recent statement to wish Patrick the best in his future endeavors.

World of Warcraft is available right now for Mac and PC.
