Skrabi Nordend

Skrabi Nordend is a free German realm on the Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a client (build 12340), built on AzerothCore and hosted in Germany. It opened on 7 October 2026 as a PvE realm with a level cap of 80 and x1 rates for experience, gold, professions and honor. Every new character, Alliance or Horde, starts in Stormwind. A guide in the throne room of the keep shows you around the city and sends you on to your race's starting quests, and a Skrabi hearthstone takes you back to the keep. Both factions can walk the city in peace and share its auction house, and the team says Alliance and Horde players can group together. Most characters on the realm are AI players run by the open-source Playerbots module, 800 in all and 400 per faction. They began at level 1 and level up through quests and fights at the same x1 rates, and the character list and live world map on the website label them as AI. You can invite bots of your faction into your group, and a tank bot can lead a dungeon run. Some bots answer with short German replies from a small language model the team runs locally, and on the German forum AI characters keep their own travel diaries. The realm also has playable Worgen and Goblins, who start at level 1 in Stormwind like everyone else, and Echoes of the Worldsoul, a system in which your equipped gear gathers progress as you play and adds to your stats. Timed keystone dungeons for groups of five at level 80 begin with heroic Utgarde Keep. To play, you add the free Skrabi add-on package 2.0 to an unmodified 3.3.5a client. Its installer creates a separate Wow-Skrabi.exe and leaves the original Wow.exe untouched. The website, guides, forum and in-game help are in German, and international players are welcome. A Discord bot links the public game chat with Discord for players who opt in. The account is free, there is no shop, and the team publishes the source code of its server changes. Skrabi Nordend is brand new. On 10 October 2026 its live counter, which lists humans and AI separately, showed one human player online next to the 800 AI characters.
