GOT QUESTIONS?

We've Got Answers

Getting started, rates, the shop, support — the things people ask us most, sorted by topic.

Getting Started

What client do I need?

WoW 3.3.5a (build 12340). A clean client is enough to play, but our custom content needs its own patches — see How to Connect for the full setup.

Is there a level cap or restrictions to start?

No — every account can create a character immediately at level 1, no whitelist or approval needed.

When does the realm launch?

December 15, 2027. We're currently in the pre-launch development phase — see the Roadmap for progress.

Rates & Gameplay

What are the XP and gold rates?

x1 across the board — experience, gold, professions, reputation. No boosted rates, ever.

What's Questbound / Deathbound / Battlebound Mode?

Custom optional systems that change how quests, death and PvP progression work — see the full breakdown on Features.

Shop & Donations

Is this pay-to-win?

No — 0%. The shop only sells cosmetics, mounts, pets and convenience services (name change, faction change, etc.) — never stats or combat power.

What are Coins and how do I get them?

Coins are our shop currency, earned through donations. Check your balance any time on your Profile.

Can I trade or refund a purchase?

Shop purchases are final and bind to your account. If something went wrong on our end, open a support ticket.

Support & Rules

I found a bug — what do I do?

Report it on the Bug Tracker. Upvote existing reports instead of duplicating them.

Someone is breaking the rules — how do I report them?

Open a ticket from your Profile under Support, category "Report Player" — or use the "Report This Player" button on their Armory page.

What happens if I break a rule?

Depends on severity — see the full Rules & Punishment Tiers page.

Can I join the team?

We're always looking for Game Masters and developers — check Join the Team for open positions.
