[Launching TODAY!] Greyhaven: Fresh Progressive PvP Vanilla | 1x Rates | No P2W | Vanilla Friendly QoL | Community-Shaped |

Greyhaven.

A Classic home, shaped by its players

Greyhaven is a progressive Vanilla PvP realm starting at Patch 1.2*(Fresh)*, with dungeons, raids, quests, vendors, and item availability unlocking by patch. Class tuning, talents, abilities, and item stats use their final 1.12 versions, rather than changing with every historical patch.

Greyhaven is made for players who want Classic to remain recognisably Classic, enhanced with carefully selected quality of life improvements shaped through public community polls.

Official Launch Date.

Greyhaven officially launches on:

Friday 14 August 2026 at 19:00 GMT+2/CEST
You can find a live countdown on our launcher, discord & website.

Character name reservations are still open. Check our Discord for the exact instructions and latest announcements.

Bracketed Leveling.

Greyhaven will launch with short bracketed leveling, designed to help players with less available time stay closer to the community’s progression. This was added based on a popular community vote.

Greyhaven will launch with a level cap of 20, increasing to level 30 one week later.
The complete level cap schedule and all unlock dates are available on our Discord.

Official Greyhaven Launcher

Greyhaven has its own launcher, built to make joining the server as easy as possible.

Through the launcher, players can:

  • Choose between the supported 1.12.1 and modern 1.14.2 Classic clients
  • Automatically install a complete client if you don't have one yet
  • Browse compatible addons & install supported addons directly with one click
  • Keep their client and addon setup organised in one place

Using the launcher is highly recommended, although supported existing clients may also be used without our launcher.

What Greyhaven Offers

  • Fresh progressive Vanilla PVP realm
  • Patch progressive content and rewards.
  • Support for both 1.12.1 and modern 1.14.2 clients
  • Official launcher with one click addon installation
  • Cross faction Auction House
  • Dynamic respawns
  • Unlimited debuff slots
  • Instant mail between characters on the same account
  • Updated Warden support and custom anti-cheat systems
  • Community polls on selected server features
  • Leaderboards & Events (first event is up on Discord announcement page Realm first level 20)
  • Firm stance against pay to win
  • Worldbuffs disabled (in raids only, open world & dungeons they work as normal)
  • Talent Respecs capped to 5G
  • Custom restriction barriers in BGs to prevent safecapping and under the map exploits.
  • All Battlegrounds available.
  • Later patch Flight Paths available from launch (Camp Taurajo, Ratchet, and Marshal’s Refuge).

Greyhaven is not being created to profit from players. We are building the kind of Classic realm that we would personally want to play.

[Pre-Launch] Greyhaven: Fresh Progressive Vanilla 1.12 | 1x Rates | Community-Shaped | No P2W

Greyhaven

A Classic home, shaped by its players.

This is your opportunity to join a fresh progressive Vanilla realm, have a genuine say in its development, and experience its journey from the very beginning.

Greyhaven is an upcoming Vanilla WoW 1.12 realm for players who want Classic to remain recognizably Classic but with new voted upon content. Everyone will begin together on a fresh realm, with raids, dungeons, and other content released progressively.

We are growing our community before holding a beta test because important decisions should not be made behind closed doors. Players will help shape Greyhaven through suggestions, discussions, testing, and polls made by the devs from player suggestions.

What Greyhaven Offers

  • A completely fresh start where everyone begins together
  • Blizzlike 1x experience
  • Vanilla 1.12 talents and class tuning
  • Raids, dungeons, and other content released in phases
  • Carefully selected quality of life improvements
  • Instant mail between characters on the same account
  • Updated Warden support and additional server-side anti cheat measures
  • Meaningful recognition for beta participants
  • A firm commitment to remaining anti-P2W

Help Shape Greyhaven

The community will vote on decisions such as:

  • World-buff storage through a custom Chronoboon style system
  • A capped respec cost, dual specialization, or original respec rules
  • Remote battleground queueing
  • Dynamic or original Classic respawns
  • Cross-faction or faction-specific auction houses
  • Beta participation rewards (Cosmetic)
  • Future content that expands Vanilla without abandoning its identity

Proposed Survival Arena

One of our potential custom content ideas is an endless survival arena built around the creatures, environments, and combat of Vanilla WoW.

Players would face increasingly difficult waves of familiar enemies and compete for positions on weekly leaderboards. Your ranking would be determined by how far you survived.

Weekly placements could award cosmetic, convenience light, or prestige based rewards without granting unfair power.

This feature is still a concept. The Greyhaven community will vote on whether it belongs on the realm, how it should work, and what its rewards should be. You decide!

Join From the Beginning

We are looking for founding community members, Vanilla enthusiasts, guild leaders, and people willing to test this all out in a open beta.

Join now to:

  • Help decide Greyhaven’s direction
  • Participate in development polls
  • Suggest and discuss new features
  • Test the realm during beta
  • Claim beta test cosmetic reward
  • Play from the very beginning when the realm opens

Greyhaven is anti P2W. We are not here to make money from players; we are here to build a Classic realm that we also enjoy playing on.
