Atlantiss

Type: World of Warcraft Private Server
Website: atlantiss.org

Atlantiss is a long-running World of Warcraft project best known for Netherwing, the realm it opened on The Burning Crusade 2.4.3 in January 2019. Rather than freezing a realm on a single patch and leaving it there, Atlantiss runs what it calls a Progress Through Expansions model, in which a realm opens on one expansion and then advances forward through the following ones over a period of years. That is the reason this listing carries three patch levels at once instead of one.

The Burning Crusade 2.4.3, Cataclysm 4.3.4 and Mists of Pandaria 5.4.8 all belong to the same project rather than to three unrelated servers. Before Netherwing, the team ran Dragonwrath, a Cataclysm 4.3.4 realm that Atlantiss advertised as blizzlike at x1 rates, and that blizzlike stance has stayed the identity of the project since. The pitch has consistently been the quality of the scripting and the fidelity of the encounters rather than the speed of leveling, so players looking for a heavily customised or high rate server are not the audience here.

Because a Progress Through Expansions realm keeps moving, the content that is current on Atlantiss depends on how far the realm has advanced rather than on a fixed patch number. Check the site before downloading a client, since the supported build changes as the realm progresses through the expansion list.

Expansions: The Burning Crusade 2.4.3, Cataclysm 4.3.4, Mists of Pandaria 5.4.8
Flagship Realm: Netherwing, opened January 2019 on The Burning Crusade
Earlier Realm: Dragonwrath, Cataclysm 4.3.4
Progression Model: Progress Through Expansions, realms advance rather than staying frozen

Blizzlike Rates: Atlantiss has advertised its realms at x1, so leveling, reputation and gold follow retail pacing rather than a multiplier.
Scripting Focus: The public pitch across every Atlantiss realm has been script quality and encounter fidelity rather than custom items or custom classes.
Multi Expansion Codebase: The same team has shipped Burning Crusade, Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria content, so the server is not tied to a single expansion.
Advancing Realm: Content moves forward on a schedule instead of sitting on one patch, which suits players who want a fresh progression race rather than a permanent endgame.
