Lordaeron is Warmane’s first new realm with thousands of core and database bug fixes, improvements as well as few but significant structural open source updates. Wrath of the Lich King is the foundation and by far the most popular expansion within our community. It is also widely accepted to be the best World of Warcraft expansion of all time. Lordaeron’s name and design was derived from one of Molten’s perished realms.
We’ve been working hard to make sure that Lordaeron becomes the most complete Wrath of the Lich King realm in terms of content and minimum amount of bugs while staying true to Wrath of the Lich King. In terms of “what’s new”, we intend to make Lordaeron deliver the challenge and sense of adventure that was the primary reason why many of us enjoyed World of Warcraft. In today’s standards it can be considered “hardcore”, in oldschool terms it will mean removal of the few aspects that made the game less community-dependent, discouraged exploration and made content and leveling experience trivial, specifically this means Dungeon Finder will be intentionally disabled, character renaming forbidden, Icecrown Citadel buffs disabled and many more limitations. Lordaeron will be the incarnation of our inspiration, heritage and our flagship.
