Lordaeron.eu - Rimeheart

Rimeheart is the second realm from Lordaeron, the team behind the Lordaeron.eu realm listed separately, and it opens on 16 October 2026 at 17:00 UTC. It runs Wrath of the Lich King on the 3.3.5a client with blizzlike dungeons and the original raid order, plus hundreds of additions of its own. A prelude of two to three weeks opens the Northrend dungeons in normal and heroic, battlegrounds, arenas and Wintergrasp. Five phases of three months each follow, with Naxxramas, Ulduar, Trial of the Crusader, Icecrown Citadel and the Ruby Sanctum, and nothing opens ahead of its phase. Naxxramas, Ulduar, the Obsidian Sanctum and the Eye of Eternity get a heroic mode in 10 and 25 that the raid leader switches inside the raid, as in Icecrown Citadel. Burning Crusade raids come back at level 80, with The Eye in phase 2, Karazhan in phase 3, the Black Temple in phase 4 and the Sunwell Plateau in phase 5. Any item you loot, craft, fish or earn can drop one quality rank higher, up to a new Artifact rank with 15% more stats than an epic. Every specialization gets a new class spell, and five world bosses for 10 to 40 players reward everyone who joins the fight. Boss loot goes straight to whoever needs it, without rolls or a master looter. There are also 277 new profession recipes across 28 specializations, 62 new mounts, guild levels, PvP campaigns, treasure maps and a daily lore quiz. Experience is x5, Alliance and Horde can group and share guilds, and the Dungeon Finder and dual specialization are open from day one. You play with your Lordaeron account and realmlist plus the team’s client patch, and the game is translated into English, French, German, Spanish and Russian. The developer says the shop will sell cosmetics only, and purchases open on launch day.
