BartCraft opens The Barting Crusade, a fresh TBC realm with Molten Core retuned

BartCraft announced its fresh Burning Crusade 2.4.3 realm, The Barting Crusade, on 13 June 2026. "The Barting Crusade has arrived, and you’re invited to take Bart," the launch post began. The server may have opened a few days earlier, since its Discord dates from 26 May.

Phase 1: Fury of the Firelord

• Molten Core and Onyxia’s Lair were retuned for the server’s TBC progression as legacy raids
• Legacy Raid Weekly Quests are meant to keep the old raids worth doing, and the loot is custom
• The Emerald Nightmare was announced as "coming soon"

Rates and extras

• Experience x2 and reputation x1.5
• Transmog
• Bar’ter, a vendor who sells mounts and tabards for BartCoin, which is sold on the donate page
• Its own launcher

Phase 2 depends on raid clears

The homepage shows what Phase 2 is waiting for: five raids have to be completed, and in early October one was done. Onyxia’s Lair is marked as completed, while Molten Core, Gruul’s Lair, Magtheridon’s Lair and Karazhan are still open. There is no date for Phase 2.

In early October the site counted 542 accounts and showed 135 players online, while the Discord had 109 members.
