Stormcrown — a fresh WotLK 3.3.5a server on a custom core
We wanted a WotLK server that respected our time without turning into a fun-server free-for-all, so we built one on our own custom core.
It's progressive — content unlocks in phases (Naxx → Ulduar → ToC → ICC → Ruby Sanctum) so everyone starts on equal footing and the world doesn't get powered through in a week.
Rates:
- XP: customizable per character (x1 / x3 / x5) — leveling at your own pace
- Professions: x2
- Reputation: x2 in Northrend, x3 for Vanilla/TBC
- Drop: quest items 100%, slightly increased green/blue drops, epics blizzlike
A few things we focused on:
- Free Dual Spec at level 10
- Starter mount + 60% riding at level 1
- Selectable starting zone on first login
- Auto-learn spells on level-up
- Solo-queue 3v3 Arena with its own MMR ladder
- Gear-bracket Battlegrounds for fairer matches
- Full cross-faction play — AH, parties, raids, dungeons & guilds
- Racial Shift & Transmog NPCs
- Account-wide mounts
No pay-to-win. The cosmetic shop (coming later) will use earnable in-game currency only.
Standard 3.3.5a client works, no custom client needed.

Curious what this community thinks — especially on the progressive phase approach vs. opening everything at once.
