Azeroth Legacy under construction: where we are

Azeroth Legacy is a WotLK 3.3.5a server in its testing and community-building phase. It is not open to everyone yet and has no launch date: this post explains what already exists, what is missing and how to follow everything on Discord.

Why the server isn't open yet

A WoW server needs two things to work well: stability and people playing. Opening too early usually goes wrong. Players who log into an empty or buggy server rarely come back.

That is why the decision was to build the community first. The server stays in testing, and it opens when there are enough people for the world to feel alive from day one.

What already exists

• The game version is set: WotLK 3.3.5a (build 12340).
• The rates are set: monster and quest XP 10x; exploration, gold, drops, reputation, honor and professions 5x; legendaries and artifacts 1x, like the original. See how the rates work and why they make sense.
• The site and the blog: guides for classes, professions, dungeons, raids and more than a hundred Warcraft lore posts.
• The site forms: you can send bugs and suggestions.
• The community Discord: with rules, announcements, patch notes and how-to-connect channels; chats in Portuguese, English and Spanish; #procurando-guild and #comércio; support with #bug-report and #faq; and voice channels.
• The client install guide: how to download and configure the 3.3.5a client.

What is still missing

• Tests with real players. So far, tests have been internal. The next step is opening tests on scheduled dates, with the community.
• The Discord structure: roles, bots, events and the content of the rules, how-to-connect and FAQ channels.
• People to help: testers, moderators, content creators and translators. The open roles are in this post: help build Azeroth Legacy.
• The launch date, which depends on the community growing.

Next steps

1. Build the community on Discord. Welcome the first players and form the volunteer team.
2. Open tests on scheduled dates. The server goes online on test weekends, announced on Discord, so the community can play and report problems.
3. Fix what the tests reveal. Each test round produces a list of fixes, published on the blog.
4. Announce the launch. When the server is stable and the community is big enough, the date goes out on Discord and on the site.

How to follow along

• Discord: test announcements, news and open roles are posted there: discord.gg/RxYcxPpN82.
• Blog: the Server category posts cover every step.
• Bugs and suggestions: through the site forms or the #bug-report channel on Discord.

What to expect from Azeroth Legacy

The server aims to be a WotLK with real progression: faster leveling to reach 80 sooner, but an endgame you have to earn, and legendaries as rare as in the original game. No pay-to-win: see what can and cannot be purchased. For the full picture, read why play on Azeroth Legacy.
