We are software engineers who have been playing the game for nearly twenty years.
From official realms to private servers, we've experienced every flavor of the game, and for the past fifteen years, we've been on the other side too: developing and refining game experiences.
Through that journey, we became passionate about one expansion above all others: Wrath of the Lich King.
We believe it represents the perfect balance between challenge, design, and community spirit.
Ebonhold is our way of bringing that experience back to life, but modernized, reimagined, and cared for with the quality it deserves.
Our Vision
Over the years, we've experimented with countless ways to play the game.
We learned that trying to blend too many ideas into a single realm can harm rather than enhance the experience.
That's why we built Ebonhold with a clear vision: focus, quality, and consistency.
The realm you see presented on our website represents our first realm under the Ebonhold project: a carefully designed experience that captures what we believe is the most exciting and creative version of WoTLK.
However, this is only the beginning.
Future Realms
We plan to launch additional realms under the Ebonhold umbrella in the future. Some as long-term worlds, others connected to the main realm, much like Blizzard's Remix concepts.
Each will bring its own twist, yet all will stay true to three guiding principles:
- Built on the WoTLK foundation, our favorite and the most iconic era of the game.
- Maintained with the same level of quality, support, and consistency.
- Preserving the soul of Wrath while adding freshness that keeps the experience alive.
Our mission is to evolve the game while respecting what made it unforgettable.
Sustainability Without Compromise
Running and maintaining a high-quality realm takes real work, and a dedicated team.
Between hosting, development, moderation, and community management, the project requires ongoing investment.
To sustain this, we plan to introduce an in-game store shortly after launch.
But we want to be absolutely clear: Ebonhold will never be pay-to-win.
The store will only include cosmetic and convenience options such as transmogs, mounts, druid morphs, or pet appearances. Nothing that affects your character's power will ever be sold in the store.
Before introducing any store features, our priority is to deliver a core experience players love, one that we, as players ourselves, are proud of.
Our goal is to build a life where we can dedicate ourselves fully to developing and improving Ebonhold, while keeping it sustainable long-term.
Our Commitment
Ebonhold is built by players who understand what makes this game special.
We promise:
- A focus on quality and stability over quantity.
- Transparency about every system and future plan.
- Fairness, integrity, and no pay-to-win mechanics, ever.
- Ongoing support and communication with the community.
This project is more than a server, it's our way of giving back to the game that shaped us.
We want to create a world that feels like home to players who, like us, fell in love with Wrath of the Lich King and still believe in its magic.
