Tagline: Free, non-commercial Vanilla — run for the love of the game

Stonetavern is a 1.12.1 Vanilla World of Warcraft realm hosted in the EU, run as a free and non-commercial project with a public no-shop, no-custom-content commitment. The realm keeps WoW exactly as it shipped: x1 experience, original quest pacing, classic profession curves, and the full pre-TBC raid ladder from Molten Core through Naxxramas. Anti-cheat detection runs around the clock, but every ban is reviewed and approved by a human before it lands. Stonetavern launched on 2026-05-21 and is currently building its founding EU population.

The realm runs the final Vanilla patch with no progressive content gating layered on top — all original 1.12 content is live from day one.
