Ulduar is live on ShadowForge, with weekly raid quests and buffed world bosses

Just over a week after opening Ulduar, ShadowForge says its Wrath of the Lich King server is growing steadily every day and new guilds are forming. Ulduar is fully operational, and raids go out daily.

Ulduar bosses drop Emblems of Conquest, and heroic dungeons now reward Valor Points to speed up gearing. The team has also added buffed Vanilla world bosses that drop ilvl 200 epics and is introducing new weekly questlines inside raids.

Dungeons and raids scale down for smaller groups:

• Dungeons: 1 to 5 players
• Phase 1 10-man raids: from 5 players
• Phase 1 25-man raids: from 10 players
• Ulduar 25-man: from 10 players

Weekend XP bonuses are active, and the server has Recruit-a-Friend, Vote-for-Gold and quest givers at dungeon entrances.

ShadowForge pitches itself as an alternative to the mega-servers and says it wants a growing, tight-knit community, with weekly updates based on player feedback. The team also repeated that the server has no "ridiculous cash shops". Its Discord and website have more details.
