I’ve been playing World of Warcraft for many years, and like so many others, Wrath of the Lich King holds a special place in my heart. It wasn’t just an expansion—it was an era of unforgettable adventures, friendships, and late-night raids that defined what WoW meant to me.
I remember the excitement of stepping into Northrend for the first time, the sense of wonder as I explored Icecrown, and the chills I felt watching Arthas’ story unfold. The camaraderie of guilds, the intense battleground fights, and the thrill of downing the Lich King after countless wipes—these are memories I cherish to this day.
When Wrath of the Lich King Classic launched, it was a dream come true. But now, with its removal, that dream has been taken away. Many of us still want to experience this expansion without being forced into Cataclysm Classic or resorting to private servers.
I’m not alone in this. The demand for WotLK remains strong, and I truly believe Blizzard has the power to bring it back. We’re not asking for much—just a way to keep the experience alive. Here are a few possible solutions:
Permanent WotLK Servers – Just like Classic Era for Vanilla, allow dedicated Wrath servers for those who want to stay in Northrend forever.
Seasonal WotLK Servers – A fresh restart option for those who want to relive the journey again and again.
Clear Communication – If WotLK can’t return, we’d love to understand why. Transparency helps us stay engaged as a community.
This game has shaped my life in ways I can’t fully put into words. It’s more than just content—it’s nostalgia, it’s friendships, it’s a part of who I am as a gamer. Please, give us a way to continue our journey in the world we love.
Cycling around is the outcome that is almost 100 % certain since it worked last time.
Ofc this time maybe the will add TBC era and Wotlk era servers. But most people me included enjoy the journey and not stay in one thing forever. But for sure there are people who will pay for an era version of their char in different expansions so its possible Blizzard will provide that.
You’ll probably get it on the Anniversary client after TBC, but it will be a temporary stay, meaning you’ll effectively be playing on a timer that will end once the final phase is completed. No idea what will happen after that, but my guess is that it will just shut down and all characters on those servers will be deleted.
What I want is permanent expansion servers, allowing me to play without feeling that I’m rushing through a race. But I doubt we’ll ever get them. Blizzard have made it abundantly clear that their main focus for all content and updates is progression raiders and speedrunners and have little interest in catering for filthy casual scrubs such as myself.
Yes I too would like Wrath Era servers. I’d LOVE for them to not have all the changes of Wrath Classic - specifically I’d like the Achievements to stay character bound. It would be great to be able to restart without being force fed all titles and so on from day one.
1A If we could get an Era HC server for Wrath too … And the same for TBC … GREAT!
Clear communication - yes please. I reserved some names when the Anniversary servers launched. As I play HC, I could use those character slots for something better if TBC or Wrath are not going to be permanent.
Yes I do!
I stopped playing progressive Classic once it was clear I could not stay in Wrath … fortunately I had kept almost all my characters in the Era server, where I have now been playing since. Lately in the HC mode.
I would like to level again and again in TBC (or Wrath) as Draenei and Belfs, I love their starter zones. I find outlands wonderful and Northrend not half bad either.
If we’re given HC Era servers for TBC and Wrath to supplement the HC Clasic Era servers, I will ask for no more, but just keep on playing there for the rest of my life.
