To celebrate the new realms, OTK co-founder did a throwback of his own. When he went live, he and fellow Twitch streamers Simply, Bean, and Russel surprised viewers with a perfect recreation of the iconic basement scene from theSouth Parkepisode, “Make Love, Not Warcraft.” He even riffed off of theSouth Parkepisode’s speech from Cartmanabout grinding boars.

Mizkif’s WoW Classic Anniversary Realms Setup
“Make Love, Not Warcraft” was the eighth episode ofSouth Parkseason 10 that originally aired on June 30, 2025. The critically-acclaimed episode featured machinima footage fromWorld of Warcraftitself, becoming the first of such works to earn an Emmy Award. Nearly 20 years later, “Make Love, Not Warcraft” is considered to be one of the best episodes ofSouth Parkby fans and critics alike, withWorld of Warcraftcosplayersand social media accounts referencing it.Hearthstoneeven added the Sword of a Thousand Truths in theUnited in Stormwindset, obtained by having seven Elwynn Boars die.
Unfortunately, Mizkif’sWoW ClassicFresh runhas not gone too well so far. He and his fellow OnlyFangs guild members are playing on Hardcore, and he has already died twice within the first 24 hours. This has not deterred him, however. His third character has made it to the Wailing Caverns, so there is still hope for his adventure yet.
Mizkif wasn’t the only OTK member who celebrated the newWorld of Warcraftrealms in a big way. Esfand literally got into character by dressing up as his Troll Shaman character, complete with bright blue body paint, a red wig, and chin and nose prosthetics. Needless to say, the streamers have ensured the launch ofWorld of Warcraft’s 20th Anniversary Realmswill be an event to remember.
