WOW Kraken is a Russian-speaking World of Warcraft project that runs two realms side by side: a progression Classic realm on patch 1.12.1 and a custom Vanilla+ realm built on the same foundation. Both lean on a bot system that lets small groups and solo players fill dungeons and battlegrounds. Vanilla+ goes further with a mastery system of 27 talent paths, new playable races, transmogrification and around 380 new profession recipes. A single-life Hardcore mode is available for players who want every death to be final.

Classic Realm: WoW Kraken Classic, patch 1.12.1 with the 1.14 interface, progression up to level 60
Vanilla+ Realm: Seasonal custom realm on a 1.12 base with the 1.13.7 interface, currently capped at level 50
Season Status: Phase 2 of the current season active as of October 2026

PartyBot: Bots with configurable roles help clear PvE content; Classic allows several per dungeon, while Vanilla+ limits them to 4 in normal dungeons and 2 in enhanced content.
BattleBot: Separate bots fill battlegrounds so matches can start.
Mastery Paths: 27 paths across nine classes, three per class, unlock at level 40 with upgrades at 50 and 60.
Hardcore Mode: A single-life run from level 1 with PartyBot restricted, PvP disabled and dead characters removed permanently, rewarded with an epic mount on completion.
New Races: High Elves, Goblins, Draenei and Blood Elves are playable.
Professions: Around 380 new recipes add 76 gear sets.
Quality of Life: Dual specialization, a smart auction house and transmogrification are included.
