Everything you need to know about the Live Server and getting into the game.
Create your accountWhen did the Live Server launch?
On Saturday, October 24, 2026 at 16:00 UTC (10:00 AM GMT-6). Read the announcement.
Can I play now?
Yes. The Live Server is open to every account with a confirmed email. No invitation is needed. Create your account, confirm your email, and download the launcher from your account page.
Will there be any wipes?
No. Everyone started fresh when the Live Server launched, and there are no planned wipes: all characters and progress are permanent.

What is the level cap and available content?
Level 60. All 19 Classic dungeons are available on Normal, Heroic and Mythic difficulty, including the Heroic Random Dungeon Finder queue, and Mythic+ Keystones go up to +5. Zul'Gurub is open on Normal and Heroic. More raids and higher Mythic+ levels unlock in later phases. Our full timeline is coming in the next few days. Explore the dungeons.

All Northrend dungeons are already available alongside the existing dungeons through the Scaled Dungeon Finder. More dungeons, raids, and PvP content from Outland, Northrend and beyond are planned.
Will playerbots still be available?
Yes, to help fill groups, but far fewer than before launch. Their presence will decrease further as the population grows.
