Epsilon moves its all-GM roleplay server to the Shadowlands client

Epsilon WoW launched its Shadowlands client on 6 September 2024. "The Epsilon Shadowlands client has officially been launched!" the team posted that evening, pointing players to the announcements on its Discord for the install steps. "Welcome to the Afterlives, Epsilonians!"

Epsilon is a roleplay server where every player gets GM-style commands. Players build their own versions of the world, called phases: they place and rotate objects, spawn NPCs with patrol routes and invite others in to play. Custom content such as retextured buildings and building tiles is streamed to the client, so there is nothing extra to download.

The team had wanted the newer client for years. In 2021 it called the Battle for Azeroth client "very limited" for character customisation and said that once Epsilon moved to Shadowlands, "the sky is the limit".
