Whitemane - Stormstout

Stormstout is the Mists of Pandaria realm that Whitemane, the network behind Frostmourne, Gilneas and Maelstrom, is preparing as a fresh, blizzlike realm with quality-of-life changes carried over from Maelstrom. It was planned for 8 August 2026, but on 30 June Whitemane delayed it by a few months to avoid a crowded launch window, and no new date has been published. The realm page has a Join Beta button, and Whitemane's realm list showed the beta as online on 1 October 2026. Announced rates are up to x3 experience, x3 honor and x2 professions and reputation. Bonus Roll tokens can also be earned through weekly activities and a repeatable quest, and the Legendary Cloak chain is shorter for alts. PvP changes include a 2,700 weekly Conquest cap, a full gear vendor after 25,000 Conquest, item level 470 Malevolent weapons for Honor and Solo Queue in 1v1 and 3v3. Play is cross-faction, and characters can be copied from Whitemane's Cataclysm realm after launch. The community is English-speaking. Whitemane is free to play and funded by a store and the Whitemane+ subscription; Stormstout's store offers are not yet published.
