The beta for the hotly anticipated World of Warcraft: Forever has been marred by fans of the streamer Asmongold who have filled the game’s public spaces with spam and slurs. To fix the issue, a player named Solastro created a mod called OlympusMute that hides any chats from players associated with Asmongold’s multiple associated guilds and fandom. Funnily enough, Solastro told 404 Media he used to be a big Asmongold fan too.

OlympusMute, named after the main Asmongold guild Olympus, is a client side mod that creates a mute list designed to prevent players from seeing anything from players associated with Asmongold. It works simply by hiding chat messages from players with Olympus in their name. It also auto-declines group and guild invites from the muted players.

Solastro is a longtime WoW player who told 404 Media he found the Asmongold related spam in WoW: Forever intolerable. He said it’s worse when Asmongold himself logs in. “The trade chat is spammed with people wanting to get near him, on his layer, etc. The guild invite spam is prevalent, as he’s encouraged his followers to invite as many people as possible to Olympus,” he said.

The mod, essentially, is an attempt at a nuclear block. It “hides all player chat from muted players: Say, Yell, Emote, Whisper, General/Trade/custom channels, Guild, Party, Raid, Raid Warning, and Instance chat” and “hides their chat bubbles in the open world,” according to its description.

There are good reasons players may want to never hear from Asmongold or his guild. “Turned on @Asmongold stream for 3 minutes and just instantly see them harassing some random player and spamming shit like this in stormwind,” X user @mrfishpsirit said in a post on X. The account shared screenshots of chat bubbles calling to “deport all greenskins” and sexually assault Palestine. Asmongold himself replied to the post with a list of slurs he’d invented for the game’s fictional races.

“When the army of followers is in a single location, the chat is filled with /yell messages that often include slurs (with special characters to not get flagged), racist chants, misogynistic terms, etc. It’s something I heavily dislike, but it was too pervasive to be able to /ignore each player, so I found another solution just to filter chat,” Solastro added.
