Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WoD Private Servers

01

Are there any WoD private servers?

Very few. Firestorm Gul'dan, a 5x PvE realm with partial Garrison scripting and a small reported population, is the established one. Warlords of Draenor is the least-served expansion in private-server history.
02

Why are there so few WoD private servers?

The Garrison. Almost every WoD system runs through it, and scripting a persistent, phased base with followers, missions and buildings is a huge amount of work for an expansion many players remember as thin. Most emulation teams moved straight on to Legion.
03

What client do I need for a WoD private server?

A 6.2.x client that matches the server's patch. WoD, like every expansion from MoP onward, connects through the SET portal line in WTF/Config.wtf, but in practice the server's launcher handles this and patches the executable, so download the client from the server's website.
04

What is the max level in WoD?

Level 100. Endgame on a WoD private server means the Highmaul, Blackrock Foundry and Hellfire Citadel raids, which are also the parts of the expansion emulation handles best.

Everything you need to know before getting started

What exists for WoD today

Warlords of Draenor is the least-served expansion in private-server history. The WoD servers we list can be counted on one hand, and the established one is Firestorm Gul'dan, a 5x PvE realm with a small reported population. There have been others over the years, but almost all of them closed or moved on to Legion, and no major emulation team has invested in 6.x since.

The reason is the Garrison. Nearly every WoD system runs through it, and scripting a persistent, phased player base with followers, missions and buildings is a huge amount of work for an expansion many players remember as thin on content. Expect partial Garrison functionality wherever you play.

Who should play here

If what you want is the Draenor raids, then yes: Highmaul, Blackrock Foundry and Hellfire Citadel are the parts of WoD that hold up, and they are the parts emulation handles best. If you want the full leveling arc with a working Garrison and Ashran, temper your expectations and read the newest reviews first. For a modern-era expansion with more choice, the Legion servers page has a much deeper scene, and several Legion realms let you level through Draenor content on the way to 110.

Getting connected

WoD servers run on a 6.2.x client and, like every expansion from MoP onward, connect through the SET portal line in WTF/Config.wtf rather than a realmlist file. In practice the server's own launcher does this for you and also patches the executable, so download the client from the server's website rather than from a generic source. Our private server client overview explains the differences between client generations, and WoD addons covers what still works on 6.2.

Run a WoD server yourself? Public 6.x repacks are rare and incomplete; the general repacks guide covers what exists.
