The 44-year-old YouTuber Athene has actually been away from gaming for a long time, but now the crisis in the Twitch guild OnlyFangs is luring him back to WoW: He wants to save the guild with legendary tactics from 20 years ago.
Who is the best paladin in the world? Bachir “Athene” Bourmaaza, now 44, was a standout player in WoW almost 15 years ago, the first to reach level 85. He repeatedly called himself “the best paladin in the world” – based on an ancient YouTube video from 2007.
Now he’s back in the OnlyFangs guild, but he can only shake his head at what he sees.
The guild leader, Sodapoppin, died in the game and had to give up the guild leadership. A LoL player who wasn’t even a rank 1 gladiator takes over the guild.
In any case, Athene sees Generation Z as decadent and lost. Sodom and Gomorrah rule in WoW. From his perspective, the guild would only be about “gooning” and “edging” instead of WoW.
Players would engage in frivolous sexual practices and neglect the actual game. It’s finally over when he sees Sodapoppin in a stream in a feminine cosplay.

Twitch guild OnlyFangs is in crisis – there is a lack of herbs and raid material
He sees this as a problem: At OnlyFangs you actually want to raid in a few weeks, but the guild is having problems preparing. There is a lack of herbalists in the guild who can provide the raiders with the necessary materials, such as the “Elixir of the Mongoose”, which increases mobility for 1 hour and the chance of a critical hit.
Because you can’t just buy these materials because of the guild rules, the bosses are a little panicked that you’re too ill-prepared when raiding and could screw everything up with a chaotic pull. Because people die when raiding in WoW – normally that’s not a problem, but you can’t afford that on a hardcore server.
If a pull goes wrong, 40 players will quickly lose their level 60 heroes and that would be a huge setback for the project that is currently bringing so much to all content creators on Twitch.
This is Athene’s plan: In a wild speech about “Gooners”, “Edgers” and “Muscle Daddys”, Athene becomes increasingly angry about the terrible youth, Gen Z, but then stops and says: He is Athene. The best paladin in the world.
You don’t think he would just let his guild die.
He will now develop his own tool that will allow OnlyFangs players to act in accordance with the rules and thus prepare them for the raid.
He cites all sorts of obscure historical references. Asks if the boys have ever heard of the “Silk Route” or the art of war: “Sun Tzu, motherfucker!” he shouts at the end.
That’s how it works: This is a single production by Athene, who is clearly having fun reviving his “old role” as a super paladin. The way he stages this and curses young people is quite entertaining and an exaggerated parody of a man who simply no longer understands today’s times and only speaks in misunderstood fragments of words.
The comments say people got goosebumps at the “But I’m Athena!” part or “That reminds me of how great YouTube was 10 years ago.” Even in the last video, Athene caused quite a wave when he talked about Gen Z: 44-year-old was once the best-known WoW player, but today he talks confusedly about Gen Z and how they are destroying the MMORPG
