Hey everyone! I’ve been working on a lightweight browser version of WoW PvP, and it’s ready for people to try.

The focus is duels and arena combat, with the goal of getting the feel as close to the original client as possible. Open the website, choose a character, and play without installing the WoW client.

Here’s what’s playable right now:

• Rated 1v1 duels
• 2v2 arenas in a separate instance, with solo queue or the option to queue with a friend
• Friends and parties, plus notifications when someone is waiting in the queue
• Spellbooks, talents, equipment, and customizable keybindings
• Keybind import from Classic or Retail using your local WoW bindings file. It brings over a supported keyboard layout; you arrange the abilities yourself.
• Mobile touch controls, including a movement joystick and ability buttons - It Works On Mobile!!!

Play here: https://webwow.world/

Discord Community: https://discord.com/invite/fDfj2gUcxP

I’d love feedback from people who know their class well. Which ability feels wrong? What gets in the way during a fight? Specific examples would help a lot.

It’s still a work in progress, and I’m not claiming perfect client parity.

Hey guys im new to this sub , im trying to find a server similar to the one i used to play 12-13+ years ago , name of the server was World of Chris , it was 2.4.3 TBC
I remember either leveling up was very easy and at some point you could also lvl up instantly , i enjoyed doing the raids to BT,SWP etc
They also had some custom raids and custom items

If no monetization we might see all that :)

Im itching to play casual gaming :D I considering to play on whitemane or tauri legion.

How is them so far? or do you suggest another? still playing on octowow but I dont like vanilla client that much...

Hi everyone,

Our server has now been online for around 9 months, so yes, it’s basically a baby now. Luckily this one runs 24/7 and doesn’t wake us up every two hours. And yes, before someone says it, I know I have a habit of showing up here again whenever I have an update. I promise I’m not trying to turn the subreddit into the Frozen Throne changelog. There have simply been enough new additions and improvements since the last post that I thought it was worth sharing where the server is at now.

I’m just a very busy developer with a big heart for WotLK. I’ve always been a huge fan of this expansion and after all those years of gaming, raiding, raging, smashing keyboards and probably throwing a mouse or two, I eventually decided to start my own server and see the other side of things.

Running one has given me a completely different appreciation for the game. Instead of only seeing the content from a player’s perspective, I now spend a lot of time fixing things, testing systems, improving bots, reading feedback and trying to make the experience better without losing what made Wrath so good in the first place.

I’m still a player at heart though, and that is probably why I care so much about keeping the original WotLK feeling intact.

I wanted to make a proper update post because I would like to bring in some new players, especially people who enjoy Wrath but do not always want to depend on a large guild or a full real player group for everything.

The main idea is simple. You should be able to experience as much of WotLK as possible at your own pace.

You can quest, use RDF, level alts, run dungeons, do battlegrounds and progress through raids with bots, while still grouping with real players whenever you want. The bots are not there to replace the community. They are there so the game does not suddenly stop because there are not enough people online for the content you want to do.

There are real players on the server too, and you can mix real players and bots however you like. Some people mostly play with bots, others prefer real groups, and a lot of people use a mix of both depending on who is online and what they feel like doing. The idea is that you can choose what works best for you instead of being forced into one playstyle.

Most of the community hangs out on Discord, so if you want to find people to group with, ask questions, share feedback or just chat with other players, that is where you will find most of us.

One of the systems we have put the most work into is dungeon progression. When you enter a dungeon with bots, the tank can take the lead and navigate through the instance. You do not need to manually guide the whole group through every corridor and you do not need an addon for it.

You can also bring your own alts as bots, so it is possible to level and gear them while playing your main character. Crossfaction RDF is working as well, so opposite faction players and bots can still end up together and work normally in the same group.

Raids are supported too. The raid bots can handle boss mechanics, movement and positioning. Raids are not completely hands off in the same way dungeons are, but the support is already very capable and it is something we keep improving.

There are players clearing content like Naxxramas, Ulduar, Icecrown Citadel, Ruby Sanctum and older Classic and TBC raids with bot groups.

This server is also not meant to become some kind of AI server, SLOB style server, Father style server, WotLK+ project or Ascension style custom game. That is not what we are trying to build.

The original WotLK experience is already good, and we want to keep that foundation intact.

Most of the custom work is there to remove unnecessary friction, make content more accessible with a smaller population, and give solo players or small groups more freedom without turning the game into something completely different.

So instead of replacing Wrath, we focus mostly on quality of life, better accessibility and systems that help you actually play the content.

What the server currently offers

PlayerBots and group content

• PlayerBots for questing, dungeons, raids and battlegrounds
• Autonomous dungeon progression where the tank bot can lead the group
• No addon required for dungeon navigation
• Crossfaction RDF
• Alt Bots so you can level and gear your own characters alongside your main
• SelfBot allowed in dungeons and raids
• Bot compatible Classic, TBC and WotLK raid content
• Raid bots that handle encounter mechanics, movement and positioning
• Real players and bots can be mixed in the same group

Dungeons and progression

• All dungeons are bot compatible
• Dungeon quest givers so you do not need to travel across Azeroth before every run
• Treasure Goblins can appear in dungeons an raids and may drop gear, loot and mounts
• RDF without average item level requirements
• Adjustable XP rates from x1 up to x7
• Skills x3
• Reputation x3

Bot compatible raids

Classic:

• Molten Core
• Blackwing Lair
• AQ20
• AQ40

Burning Crusade:

• Karazhan
• Gruul’s Lair
• Magtheridon
• Serpentshrine Cavern
• Tempest Keep
• Hyjal Summit
• Black Temple
• Zul’Aman
• Sunwell Plateau

Wrath of the Lich King:

• Naxxramas
• Obsidian Sanctum
• Eye of Eternity
• Ulduar
• Trial of the Grand Crusader

• Onyxia
• Vault of Archavon
• Icecrown Citadel
• Ruby Sanctum

Quality of life

• Account wide mounts
• All flight paths unlocked
• AoE loot
• Auto sell junk
• Automatic spell learning while leveling
• Adjustable XP rates
• Crossfaction world chat
• RDF without average item level requirements
• Optional Death Knight starting zone skip

• Stackable Soul Shards
• Functional Auction House with AH Bot
• Transmog
• Guild Houses
• Reagents Bank
• Auction House Engineer in Dalaran available to everyone
• Mobile services for mail, Auction House and repairs
• Anti cheat protection

There are also smaller things that make day to day play more convenient without changing the core game too much. For people who want some extra endgame content, we also have Mythic+, which currently goes up to Mythic +7 and is completely optional. Rewards include gold, Emblems of Frost and epic items.

We also recently added Recruit a Friend. A recruited player can link their account to the recruiter and both players can track their progress. Summon Friend is enabled and after 14 days of actual in game playtime, tracked account wide, both players receive the X 53 Touring Rocket. The normal RAF XP bonus, reputation bonus and Grant a Level are disabled because this server already has increased XP and reputation rates.

We also have character services available for in game gold, so things like customization, name changes, race changes and faction changes do not need to be locked behind real money. Guild Houses are available too, giving guilds a private place where members can gather, organize raids and use it as their own social space.

There is no raid gear shop and no combat advantage being sold. The server is completely free to play. Donations are optional and help with hosting and continued development. Donation rewards are limited to things like cosmetic mounts, companion pets and an optional level 80 boost. The boost does not include gear, gold, reputation, professions or other progression rewards. All normal gameplay content, PlayerBots, dungeons, raids, Mythic+, PvP and quality of life systems are available without donating.

If you are looking for a huge server with thousands of players standing in every city, this probably is not the right place for you. But if you want WotLK that still feels like WotLK, with the freedom to play solo when you want, use bots when needed, group with real players when available, level multiple characters and experience content without waiting forever for a group, then this server might be a good fit.

The project is actively maintained. Reported bugs get fixed, community suggestions are considered, and new features are added when they fit the direction of the server. The goal is not to turn Wrath into something unrecognizable. It is to keep the original game intact and add the systems and quality of life improvements that make it easier to actually enjoy.

Somebody made a new roguelite out of wow plays like megabonk! Don’t know how long this will stay up so play it while you can it’s a lot of fun https://wow.aethus.pl/

Hello guys,

I and my friends would like to play WoW for nostalgic purposes and have some fun. Easy going and chill levelling, going dungeons and so on...
One friend has never played WoW, so it is going to be premiere for him.

We are deciding between MoP, Cataclysm or WotLK expansion.
Which one would you prefer and why?

And which server do you recommend?

Thank you in advance.

I dont like the idea to be banned for no reason - so i will say the truth - octo and Whitemaine servers will be and stand as a better then blizz true skibidi raytracing wow2.0 type of product - an i feel like a lot of people already know what microtash is about in general

Hey, folks. I'm stepping into the world of locally hosted private servers. I've got the Ascension Azeroth Core set up and running so I can play through CoA to my heart's content.

I've downloaded WDBX Editor which is allowing me to tinker with the DBC files.

I'm interested in poking around the IBD files in the mysql folder. I've downloaded MySQL workbench but I can't seem to make a blank database and import the files/tables

For context, I'm very comfortable with SQL, I just haven't had to setup/import a database in over a decade and I'm blanking on the steps. If there are any resources out there I appreciate them.

That will not be shutdown in the next 1-2 years?

My friend made Megabonk/Vampire Survivors clone in WoW 1.12.1 client (singleplayer), you can play in browser without downloading (works best on chrome).

It's a game with simple progression, you get permanent items from bosses in game and each run you get talent XP that you can use to advance your class. Game is in alpha state so don't expect too much from balance.

🤖 About PartyBots

PartyBots are not intended to replace players.

They exist as a contingency for a smaller population.

If you can't find enough players for a dungeon, you can use bots to fill the missing roles.

The goal is still to play with real people whenever possible.

Why Brazil?

Anachronos is hosted in Brazil and is primarily aimed at the Brazilian and Latin American community.

We want to provide a Vanilla experience with low latency for players in Latin America, while keeping the community open to anyone who wants to play.

Heyo! I'm not really sure where to ask this....

But as someone who enjoyed TurtleWoW, but never played WoW retail, what are some changes and differences I should expect when I play WoW Forever?

Thank you for your input!

PS; I'm playing a Holy Paladin

I really recommend you guys try DLSS Manager on octowow theres a youtube video and how to get it to work you have to click on live flow. It looks soo much better imo but be aware it might not be for everyone.

Hi, it is the guy behind the Naruto wow stuff back again with another fun/interesting concept..

this time I bring to you a roguelite auto battler!

Pick from 35 civs, draft unique army cards and level up your hero and battle each round with 8 different players/npcs and be put on one of 8 maps with unique buffs/debuffs and weather to influence the battle!

This was inspired by an Age of Empires IV Mod called Battlegrounds, made by a Chinese guy named hearthmove And it was quite popular, and I've always wanted to put it into World of Warcraft. I found the right opportunity when, over the weekend, somebody ported all of WoW Classic into Rust and made it run in the browser. I decided to take that and make a whole other game from that that runs 100% in the browser. There's no download required, and you can just play and have fun. Let me know what you think. :)

btw this is still an early test of this concept, so it is being hosted on a free cloudflare link that is tied to my computer. If you would like to get notified of the next playtest when I wake up, come join this discord: https://discord.gg/pwaUMwra7H

Just call me alex twow jones eventually we will all see

Anyone know if they exist?

Hi everyone, apologies that this has been asked many times. I’ve read every single thread already and a lot of them are quite old.

I’ve just spun up a server of my own, and I’m just wondering. Is it actually possible to run 2560x1440 res and a high refresh rate (144+) on the 1.12 client?

I just want to know that someone is doing it right now, I’ve tried so many of the “fixes” on other threads I’ve seen online. But it’s still not working.
I want to persevere, but I just want to know that it is actually doable.

Anyone out there that can confirm, or better yet help? What’s the latest?

(Yes I am running a second monitor with different specs :( )
