The realm has been updated with the latest AzerothCore patches. NPC bots and all custom server functions still work normally. Have fun!

Update applied: 2026-07-15

New and fixed

Death Knight — Ebon Hold

• The Ebon Hold starting area feels more alive — training-room NPCs now behave and move as intended.
• Command Center NPCs in Ebon Hold have improved ambient behavior.
• Lord Thorval now properly delivers his lecture during the Ebon Hold intro.

Battlegrounds

• Reworked the minimum-players override for low-level battlegrounds, so low-bracket matches start more reliably.

World

• Summoning ritual helpers can now assist with a ritual even while on cooldown.

Performance & Stability

• Improved aura handling performance for smoother combat, especially in crowded fights.
• Instance encounters track their minions more reliably when the instance state changes.
• Hardened server startup to guard against duplicate or too-early launches.
