Realm open · 0 questing now
Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a, reimagined as a living world. Find your party, write your story, and leave your mark on the realm.
Why Maniax
Maniax keeps the road to level cap, the first guild invite, and the hard-won raid night equally meaningful—without making the setup feel like another dungeon.
Progress that respects your time. Crafted rewards, steady milestones, and a world that makes every session feel like it moved your story forward.
Azeroth is better with witnesses. Guilds, raid nights, and spontaneous parties give the realm the kind of memory that cannot be patched into a single-player world.
Setup should not be the final boss. The launcher, add-ons, and essentials are organized around getting you into the world—not sending you through an endless support maze.
The road is the reward
A realm that gives every night a reason to matter. Make progress in the quiet hours, find a group when the plan changes, and arrive at the next raid with a story worth retelling.
Start prepared
Server status, add-on essentials, and an honest starting checklist—so the only surprise is what happens when you step through the gates.
Already have a 3.3.5a client? A stock client can't connect — the realm runs its own client build, and the launcher fetches the correct one for you.
From the realm

Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin can now roll a snow-covered winter version of themselves. Everyone in the match sees the same weather - it is the map itself, not a client setting. Requires the latest client update.

The Crusader enchant strikes 35% harder when your weapon is a two-hander and your off-hand is empty. Sword-and-board and dual-wield rolls are unchanged - this is a buff for going all in on one big weapon.

Trainers across eight professions teach new recipes: 66 new craftable items, 32 enchants, and 59 upgrade kits. Several Alchemy and Enchanting consumables also got stronger - potions, elixirs and oils now match their buffed values.

The realm list now shows Maniax Dev alongside the live realm - same account, separate characters. It is a testing ground: things land there first and may break. Play there when you want a preview, not when you care about progress.

Every item you make grants XP, scaled to what you made: a green is worth more than a grey, a rare more than a green, an epic several times that. Recipes far below your level stop paying out, so it rewards working at your own tier rather than grinding the cheapest thing you know.
The realm is active
Discord and forums are coming soon. For now, the realm is the meeting place.
