Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Creating an account and playing costs nothing. Donations are optional. See the next question for what the shop sells.

Judge for yourself; here is exactly what the shop sells: cosmetic items (tabards, toys, shirts, a costume set), mounts and pets, character services (customization, rename, faction or race change) and level boosts to 70 or 80 (level only, no gear; up to 3 boosts per account in total). The shop does not sell gold, gear with stats or anything else that gives a power advantage. Everything else is earned in game. The full list is in the Shop.

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a (build 12340). The easiest way is our installer, PrimordialWoW-Setup.exe, which sets everything up for you.

1) Create a free account. 2) Download and run PrimordialWoW-Setup.exe, which installs the 3.3.5a client and sets the realmlist for you. If you already have a 3.3.5a (12340) client, set set realmlist primordialwow.com in realmlist.wtf instead. 3) Log in with your account name and password and pick the Stormbound realm. Step-by-step help is on How to Play.

The installer sets it automatically. If you use your own 3.3.5a client, put set realmlist primordialwow.com in your realmlist.wtf file and choose the Stormbound realm.

Realm: Stormbound. Type: Normal (PvE). Version: Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a (12340). Realmlist: primordialwow.com. Max level 80. Hosted in North America; server time is Mountain Time (MT). See Server Info for everything else.

5x experience and 5x gold, with Blizzlike 1x item drops, reputation and profession skill-ups. Honor is 3x, rested XP builds 4x faster, and everyone moves at 2x speed. See Server Info for the full table.

That is on purpose. Player movement speed is 2x on Stormbound, on foot and mounted, so you spend less time travelling and more time playing.

Yes. From Friday 6:00 PM until Sunday at midnight Mountain Time (MT), experience, gold, reputation, honor and skill-ups are doubled.

Stormbound is a Normal (PvE) realm, so you will not be attacked by surprise while questing. PvP is there whenever you want it: Wintergrasp for level 75+, every battleground, arenas, and duels.

Playerbots are AI-controlled characters. You can add bots to your party to run dungeons, level with your own alts, or invite a bot of any class. Random bots also roam the world, quest, trade and queue for dungeons and battlegrounds. They are only active while real players are online, so the world wakes up when you log in.

Yes, the realm is built to be solo-friendly. You can fill a dungeon group with your own bots at any time. Random bots in the world only log in while real players are online, and they gather in the zones where players are, so the world around you feels busy. When nobody is playing, the bots rest too.

Max level is 80. Each account can make one Death Knight per realm right away, with no level requirement, and it starts at level 55. You can have up to 10 characters on the realm.

Yes, you can have characters on both factions. Groups, guilds, chat and the auction house are not cross-faction.

The character database is backed up every night. The realm is still in testing before launch, so beta characters and progress may be wiped before launch. Any wipe will be announced in advance on the News page and on Discord. See the Roadmap.

Every day at 4:00 AM Mountain Time (MT). The restart is quick and keeps the server running smoothly. Dungeon and raid lockouts reset at the same time, and daily quests reset at 6:00 AM MT.

In North America, so players across the US and Canada get the best ping. Server time is Mountain Time (MT).
