Greyhaven opened on 14 August 2026 as a fresh, progressive Vanilla realm on the 1.12.1 client (Windows players can also use a Classic Era 1.14.2 client). The realm launched with a level 20 cap, keeping early dungeons, professions and world PvP relevant before higher brackets unlock.
Greyhaven describes itself as community-shaped: decisions are put to votes and changes are tested carefully. Systems already live include:
The cap rose from 20 to 40 on 4 September 2026. The project's Discord passed 700 members in its first month, modest next to the giants but active for a brand-new blizzlike-leaning realm, and it arrived just as many former Turtle WoW and Stormforge players were looking for a new Vanilla home.
