The Idea
WotLK Raiding Without the Hassle
We're standing up a private WotLK 3.3.5a server built on AzerothCore with AI-controlled bots
that can fill out the raid roster as needed. However many of us show up on raid night, the server
scales to match and bots cover the empty slots. No pugging, no guild drama, no waiting around.
Content is gated by tier, so we progress through WotLK the way it originally rolled out.
No skipping to ICC on day one. Everyone starts at level 80, fully trained, ready to raid.
Progression
Tier by Tier, Boss by Boss
Content unlocks as we clear it. Kill the end boss of each tier to advance, as a group.
No one gets left behind, no one skips ahead.
I
Naxxramas, Obsidian Sanctum, Eye of Eternity
Where it all begins. Clear the spider wing, dance on Heigan, and put Kel'Thuzad down to unlock the next chapter.
II
Ulduar
The crown jewel of WotLK raiding. Hard modes, Algalon, and Yogg-Saron's brain room.
III
Trial of the Crusader
The Argent Tournament and its raid. Shorter tier, but the gear jump sets us up for the finale.
IV
Icecrown Citadel
The Frozen Throne awaits. Twelve bosses, one Lich King. This is what the whole journey is building toward.
V
Ruby Sanctum
Bonus tier. Halion and the twilight dragonflight. The epilogue before we decide what comes next.
The Server
