Aether

Aether is a progressive realm run by a Brazilian team on the Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a client. It opened on 1 October 2026 in its first Classic phase, with a level cap of 60 and Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair open. Fourteen phases are planned through Classic, The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King, ending with Icecrown Citadel and the Ruby Sanctum. Rates are blizzlike x1 on experience, drops, gold, reputation, honor and professions, and the realm is PvE with optional world PvP systems. The team lists 38 systems of its own around the original game: twelve regions whose safety, prosperity and hostility move vendor prices and set off incursions, world bosses that grow stronger in stages until someone kills them, 71 guild territories with sieges and diplomacy, a Battle Royale arena, duel tournaments with equal kits, an optional Iron Mode with one life per character, dungeon challenges, mentoring, player housing, transmog, crafting orders, kill contracts and PvP bounties. The team says these systems reward titles and Chronicle entries, never stats. The shop takes donation points and sells teleports, character services, titles, transmog sets, house and guild base designs, and time with a companion that follows you and fights at your side for 24 hours. It sells no gear, gold or levels. The community speaks Portuguese and the game client is in English. There is no Discord: a chat on the website is linked to the in-game Aether channel. The realm is still very small: on 5 October 2026 its status page counted four characters.
