News

Everything that changes in Frosthold is announced here, at two speeds: the notices you should read and the notes for whoever wants the detail.

Notices

Phase openings, changes to the rules or the rates, maintenance. If you play here, this affects you.

Notes

Fixes, tools and small changes. Here in case you are curious, not because you must.

Notice12 August 2026

Rates go up to x8

The realm leaves the original game rates behind: x8 experience, x4 items, x4 professions and x8 reputation. Quest gold is untouched.

Note11 August 2026

It downloads the full client, checks every file against its hash and leaves the realm configured. Windows for now.

Notice7 August 2026

Frosthold goes live with phase 1: Naxxramas, the Obsidian Sanctum and the Eye of Eternity.

What opens next, and when, is in the phase plan, and whether the realm is online right now is answered by Status.
