AI companions

Dozens of AI-driven characters live on the realm around the clock. Whisper one, invite it to your group, and it will follow, fight, heal, and tank through quests and dungeons with you.

Stocked auction house

An auction bot keeps the neutral and faction auction houses full of gear, materials, and consumables, and buys reasonable listings, so the economy works even at 3 a.m.

3x experience

Kill, quest, and exploration XP run at triple rate. Enough to skip the grind, slow enough that the journey through Azeroth still matters.

Cross-faction play

Group, guild, chat, trade, mail, and auction across factions. Horde and Alliance friends play together on Rath.

Solo-guild friendly

Found a guild without hunting for petition signatures. Perfect for a private guild bank or a small crew of friends.

Authentic 3.3.5a

Built on AzerothCore, the leading open-source WotLK core. Icecrown Citadel, dungeon finder, dual spec, all of Wrath as it shipped.
