About WoW Circle
WoW Circle is a long-running Russian multi-expansion network with realms from The Burning Crusade to Dragonflight, and its WotLK 3.3.5a realms (x1, x100 and Fun) remain the core of the project. In December 2025 it opened a 3.3.5 x4 realm with an optional single-life “No right to fail” hardcore mode that locks participants to x1 rates, and in March 2026 it launched a Dragonflight 10.2.7 x2 realm that reached patch 10.2 content in July 2026. Other realms cover TBC, Cataclysm, Mists of Pandaria, Legion, Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands. The project advertises a blizzlike WotLK experience without custom stat items or pay-to-win mechanics, hosted in Central Europe.
