Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about BFA Private Servers

01

Are there BFA private servers?

Only a few. Firestorm Sethraliss is a conventional 3x PvE progression realm, and Epsilon WoW is a roleplay and creative sandbox with its own launcher rather than a leveling server.
02

What is Epsilon WoW?

A Battle for Azeroth sandbox where players use phasing and building tools to construct their own instanced worlds, aimed at roleplayers and machinima creators. It is not a progression server, so do not expect Uldir or Ny'alotha raiding there.
03

What client do I need for a BFA private server?

For Firestorm Sethraliss, an 8.3.x client matching the server's patch, connected through the SET portal line in WTF/Config.wtf plus a patched executable or the server's launcher; Epsilon provides its own launcher and client instructions. Use the download the server provides; our BFA 8.3 client guide on the blog explains the process.
04

What is the max level in BFA?

Level 120, reached by leveling through Kul Tiras (Alliance) or Zandalar (Horde). It was the highest cap in WoW's history before the Shadowlands level squish.

BFA servers right now

Battle for Azeroth has only a handful of listed servers, and the notable ones are very different things. Firestorm Sethraliss is a conventional 3x PvE progression realm on the Firestorm network. Epsilon WoW is not a progression server at all: it is a roleplay and creative sandbox that gives players phasing and building tools to construct their own worlds.

That is close to the whole scene. BFA emulation got further than WoD because Legion's systems carried over, but Azerite gear, Islands, Warfronts and corruption were never fully scripted by any public project, and most teams moved on to Shadowlands and Dragonflight clients.

Who should play here

Pick the Firestorm realm if you want Kul Tiras and Zandalar leveling and the BFA raids from Uldir to Ny'alotha with a real population around you. Pick Epsilon if you are a roleplayer or a machinima creator who wants full control of a private phase. If you want a modern expansion with more competition between servers, Legion has several times the choice; if you want the newest content available, see the Dragonflight page.

Getting connected

Firestorm's BFA realm runs on an 8.3.x client and, like every expansion since MoP, connects through the SET portal line in WTF/Config.wtf combined with a patched executable or launcher. Epsilon has its own launcher and client instructions. Either way, use the download the server itself provides; our BFA 8.3 client guide explains the general process and what to expect. Compatible interface addons are on the BFA addons page.
